How to Present Yourself So People Will Listen
Have you ever felt frustrated that people just aren't hearing you? Is it them or you? Yes, people are in a hurry, memos are too long, email is overwhelming, and the
average person's attention span is only about 30 seconds. But they are listening
to someone. It might as well be you.
Format: 45-90 minute Keynote, half-day Workshop, or full-day Workshop
Full-day Workshop format can include optional videotaping of participants, for practice sessions.
Audience: Individual contributors and managers who want to be more effective and comfortable speaking and sending clear messages
When you speak, what is your "sound bite"?
Is your thinking clear and concise?
If they remembered nothing else at the end of your "presentation," what do you want them to take away? Whether you are on the phone, on a team conference call, speaking at a large group presentation, or just answering a question at a project meeting, you need to create a "key message" that the audience will understand and respond to. And you need to deliver it in 30 seconds or less; be clear in your mind; demonstrate visual animation; and use your voice to get their attention and keep it until they "get it."
