'How much you enjoy

effective you are at it'
- Study Stanford University & AT&T -
3. “In case of doubt, leave it out!”
Until you have
3 Topics
3 Messages

Your presentation will be easier to
Deliver
Follow
Remember
1. Use the Rule of Three
Order,
& Chunk
your content!
4. The ‘Rule of Three’ is
powerful, tested and effective and is being used in
presentations in
politics, business and education
(and in jokes, fairytales and cartoons)
to launch
products, ideas and initiatives
1. Use the Rule of Three
5. That is why…
will consist of:
3 slide decks
with each 3 techniques
supported by 3 examples
1. Use the Rule of Three
6. To feel safe!
Feeling safe is a basic need
for the Old Brain.
Just like food, water and shelter
2. The #1 need of your audience?
7. That is why you need to appear confident (and not nervous)
2. The #1 need of your audience: To feel safe
3 tips
1. Stand still during the first 2 min.
2. Inhale, exhale and pause
3. No excuses, None!
“I had no time to prepare”
“Excuse me, this is not my slide”
“Sorry for this unclear visual”
8. That is why you need to ‘answer’ these 3 questions asap
Who are you?
What do you do?
Why are you there?
Example
“My name is ...”
“I support customers, prospects, partners with ...”
Unless you are a CEO, dentist or teacher (etc), try to prevent using
your jobtitle. Just describe your audience what it is you are doing
“Today you will see, hear, learn ...”
2. The #1 need of your audience: To feel safe
9. That is why you need to mention the time how long your
presentation will last, while showing the agenda slide
So they know when they are able to
Have a drink, bite or smoke
Visit the toilet
Reply to their customer, colleague or partner
2. The #1 need of your audience: To feel safe
10. To not look foolish
in front of their peers, colleagues or
manager
3. The #1 fear of your audience?
11. So don’t ask your audience:
“What do you want to learn or improve?”
Now, in front of their peers, colleagues or managers they have to tell
you what they are not good at. Not a good feeling
3. The #1 fear of your audience: To not look foolish
12. It’s better to ask them:
“What have you seen elsewhere,
which you really liked, admired or found interesting?”
You probably get the same results from your audience and
they don’t look foolish!
3. The #1 fear of your audience: To not look foolish
13. So don’t open up for questions with:
“Are there any questions?”
3. The #1 fear of your audience: To not look foolish
This implies your presentation was ‘perfect’ and
they can’t have any questions unless they were
not paying attention or are less smart then the
rest of your audience
So, how to do this better?
14. That is why you use ‘What’ to open up for questions with:
“You have seen topic X. What are your questions regarding X?”
3. The #1 fear of your audience: To not look foolish
This implies that you understand and expect
there to be questions for this new/difficult
topic X
They can feel safe to ask a question without
having the idea that they are the only one
not understanding X
15. So don’t start your answer with:
“I have explained that before, haven’t I?” or “As I said before ...”
or “As I mentioned earlier ...”
Implying your audience is not smart enough to understand it the first
time
Don’t treat them like back in highschool
Do use the opportunity to repeat an important message
3. The #1 fear of your audience: To not look foolish
16. Take Action Now!
Now YOU can take 3 actions:
1. Adjust your next presentation
Your visuals/content/messages
Your skills (e.g. opening – bodylanguage – closing)
Your audience management
2. Let’s connect on Linkedin. Your invite & feedback are welcome

training/workshop/speech or coaching session
