In this
video segment, I want to share how you
can take the confidence, gestures and
connection with the audience and take it
to the next level.
And I want to introduce to you concept of
presentation packages.
We use different styles depending on the
information
that we need to share with the audience.
Sometimes we need to direct our
audiences so we need to become a
director. Now as a director, we stand
square onto the audience, we make eye
contact, we use
strong gestures. So if you're gonna prepare
people for a fire evacuation, you would
say,
"At
two O' clock the fire alarm will go off and
all the people on this side of the room,
I need you to move to that door
and all the people on this side of the room, I
need you to move
to that door,
exit,
calmly and quietly. Now if you think about
that, you've seen this before.
That is what the airline stewardess does
on an airplane. Their directing you to follow
instructions. So you use this style if
you are directing people.
The next style is discovering and you use this when you are
training, a concept or an idea so it's much more
fluid. So if I was using discovery,
there's a level of moving around. I would
move to this side of the room and look at
the people on this side and I'll move to this side of the room and talk to the people
on the side.
And it's really light on the feet, lots of gestures
because you're exploring a concept or
idea.
As we're doing right now, it's exploring that you have different ways
to get your message across.
Next is the leadership style
presentation, it's very similar to the
director but it's the inspiring,
motivational, end of your presentation
which is
"Come on guys, we can do it!", "We can
reach our sales target!",  "We can
achieve the grand final!"
and so the voice iss rising, the energy
is rising, you're looking at your
audience and it's as if you've got one foot in
front of the other and you kind of
ready leap off the the stage or into the
audience so it's very powerful.
Of course, you don't want to do that all the time
because it will get
inappropriate and people are gonna get very sick of that.
And of course, sometimes you're gonna make a
mistake
and sometimes you need to go in front of your
audiences and say, "Look guys I have made a mistake" or
"We made a decision and now we have
new information and we need to have to change
the decision".
This is called authenticity and sometimes you might sit
but the gesture is open hands, it says
"I've made a mistake,
I need to share with you that I've made
a mistake
and we need to move on".
This is actually a very important
presentation style
and historically, this was used
by John F. Kennedy
after the terrible disaster in Cuba
in the Bay of Pigs where he said, "Look,
I'm sorry,
I've made a mistake, I'll take full
responsibility".
Whereas we had another president who
denied
his responsibility and the things that he
did wrong
and his popularity went down. If you tell people that you've made a mistake and you've honestly
open up to that,
they will forgive you.
So there's the full presentation packages,
director,
discovery,
leader
and authenticity.
