I often hear the question about why some people are so easily SUCCESSFUL with their presentations. Why do they bathe in the limelight of happy smiles from their audiences …

Well, there may be a long list of reasons to explain

this phenomenon, but I want to focus on something

very fundamental.

…while other presenters experience just blood and tears?

The first powerful

associate of a presenter

is the ATTITUDE.

You may agree that our

attitude to anything in

life can act either as a

friend or … as an enemy.

It can back us up or it

can trip us up. I can see a presentation

as an unpleasant,

complicated and

dangerous duty

OR

OR A SNAP ?

I can see it as an ENJOYABLE act of

partying on the occasion of introducing

your new research results.

Which of the two views do you think

will HELP me work with ease?

Which of them will help me perform

better?

Which of them will HELP my audience

enjoy the time spent with me?

Our attitudes are very effective tools.

And if you want, we can discuss this

topic later.

Today, let me focus on another essential point.

And again let’s take attitude.

But his time not the attitude directed outside;

it’s rather the attitude focused on oneself.

If I know I can RELY on myself, I will certainly

feel less fear. I will look and sound more

reliable.

This will also let my audience ENJOY the feeling

they can BELIEVE what I am saying, even if they

may not agree with me.

And their positive reactions will help me

perform even better.

There may be many reasons

why we do not trust ourselves .

It may be our family background or

other life experiences.

But there are also many ways how

we can change it. It we WANT.

“Are you afraid of anything, my son? Then go and do it”.

I’ll mention just one of them.

If you are afraid of something in your life, first it is necessary to discover your fear, and then it is crucial to go into it, explore that dark area and overcome the shrew.

Building up our SELF-CONFIDENCE will bring us success not only in presenting but in many other areas of life.

Go into it. It’s worth the effort, I swear!
