How to Inspire your audience with your energy!
Inspire your Audience with Passion
By Suzanne Sherkin, Highborn Communications
Before you even enter the room to give your presentation, your audience has great expectations. They've rescheduled their time. They've rearranged their regular activities. They've reorganized their day. They've arrived to experience something new: YOU - complete with the hope that they'll be moved, shaken and affected in some way.
Most of the people in the audience don't really know what you're going to be talking about. They've arrived in good faith that their time will be worth spending. So what is it that they're really coming for? What are they hoping to get from you? Simple: Energy. Enthusiasm. Excitement. They want to be inspired.
By attending your presentation, each audience member is inviting you to make a difference in their lives.
Consider this three-step approach to inspiring your audience:
* Get them comfortable so that they're open to listening to you. Command their attention with a strong, clear voice. If you can, be in close proximity to the audience to reduce the distance between you and their experience of you.
* Get them engaged so they continue listening to you. Weave your material around stories and anecdotes that help them relate personally to your content. Use powerful language and gestures to reinforce your messages. Keep them alert, interested and occasionally surprised.
* Get them involved so they'll be open to your ideas or suggestions for change. Get them to FEEL your passion, to HEAR it, to SMELL it, to TASTE it. Deliver a presentation that gives them what they came for: inspiration through passion. Deliver it and they'll invite you back again and again.
Suzanne Sherkin, President and CPO of Highborn Communications, has been helping people say what they mean for over 25 years - in writing and in speech. She's passionate about enabling people to speak confidently and persuasively - at the podium and at the water cooler.
