For the majority of us, however competent in our roles as MDs and business leaders, the thought of making a presentation in front of our workforce or a wider audience, live or via media, fills us with dread.

Statistically, a high percentage of us claim that we would prefer death to giving a speech or presenting. Even comedian Jerry Seinfeld used to joke that, at a funeral, most people would rather be lying in the casket than delivering the eulogy!

This response to, and during, a presentation cripples our capacity to convey what we are normally totally knowledgeable and confident in. The opportunity for others to see us in our true light, and the effectiveness of getting our messages across, and making a really positive impact, are hugely inhibited…

• There’s acute physical tension
• Stress levels rise sharply
• The inner voice spreads doubt and criticism
• The brain goes to mush
• Sentences get tangled
• Individual words become unintelligible
• Content meanders off message
• Discomfort and embarrassment reach new highs
• Confidence reaches new lows

And all this can start happening, repeatedly, even days before you’ve started to make or record the actual presentation!

Consider this…

• How much time, effort and, therefore money would it save to not have the above response before and during presentations?
• How much discomfort, embarrassment and un-productivity would it avoid?
• How much would you rather have consistently effective, positive strategies for the successful preparation and delivery of your presentations?
