5 killer secrets to presentations by withadrian™

Here are some principles that I follow

In my work as a Consultant and Coach

They are not “effective”, “successful”, or “right”

They are just something I believe in

Yes they come from years of experience!

But also some books that I read as a child 

So Secret #1 from WithAdrian™ is…

“Target audience” is an abstraction

So talking to a “target audience” is pointless

Of course trying to please everyone

Is equally pointless, but the trouble is

With the word “please”

Rather than pleasing we should create

An emotional connection with other humans

SECRET #2


SECRET #3

Presentations are not about acting

Rather they are about being authentic

Why most coaches work on body language?

Because its difficult to work on content

But content is far more important

When speaker is comfortable with Content

Body language comes Naturally


SECRET #4

In a presentation it’s ok to talk about yourself

A LOT !!

Not because you’re awesome, but because

Best talks come from experience

It’s not about showing off or bragging

It’s about revealing yourself

Being transparent and honest


SECRET #5

Presentations are conversations

Conversations are unpredictable

Heavily scripted presentations will be a bore ~ 99%
of them anyway

Are you still with me? I need your feedback!

Feedback comes from laughter, applause,
facial expressions and of course questions

We have to ask for it, notice it and react to it
