  How to present effectively whilst using presentation slides – 133

  Jan 7, 2025—S0

  When using presentation slides it's important to consider the needs of the audience. This means incorporating the slides into the presentation in such a way that the speaker remains connected to the audience at all times. Unfortunately, some presenters have a tendency to turn away from their audience and read directly from the slides themselves. This isn't an effective way of delivering presentations. In today’s episode I share how to present effectively whilst using presentation slides. The 5 Steps to Public Speaking Success online programme is available to buy now.

  In focus! Building rapport with others – 132

  Nov 14, 20246 minS0

But sometimes when you’re moving around, you may want to move back to the spot where you started speaking from. How can you do this to ensure you maintain connection with your audience? In...

  Mindfulness to support presenting with confidence – 130

  Jul 30, 202411 minS0

  I’m sure you can look back at a presentation you’ve delivered, and recall in the build up to it, how it made you feel. Or perhaps you’re looking ahead to delivering your next presentation, and when you do this, it makes you feel a certain way too. Everyone feels differently in the build up to a presentation, and whether you’re feeling excited, nervous or a bit of both, it’s important not to get caught up in how you’re feeling. Because this will take up all your energy and focus which you should be putting into prepari...

  How to confidently introduce yourself in meetings – 129

  Jul 2, 20245 minS0

  When was the last time you sat in a meeting? Have you ever sat in a meeting where most of the people in the room you have never met before? Imagine you are sat in the room, the meeting chair looks around the room and says, let’s get to know each other. And everyone has to introduce themselves. One by one each persons sits or stands and says their name and starts describing what they do. Everyone sounds confident and they describe their role in a way that sounds so much more interesting than yours will be. Are you pa...
