ServicesBusiness Presentation PerformanceThe only reason to address any audience is to change them in some way. Make sure every audience leaves your presentation with new knowledge (something you want them to know) or a new call-to-action (something you want them to do). Otherwise, you’ve wasted their time. InVisible Light has proven tools to help you transform your relationship with your audience and deliver an authentic, dynamic performance. Most speakers believe when you deliver a speech, you have to make the audience think that you’re successful, smart or powerful by projecting some better version of your Self. That’s completely backwards. InVisible Light knows that dynamic performances must be authentically based. When you find the way the serve your audience, you don’t have to project some better version of your Self. You WILL BE successful. You won’t have to pretend to be interesting because your presentation will be authentic, dynamic and real. We look at three elements of business presentation performance. You can use all three, or just the ones you are most interested in.

MORE LIGHT. . .Don't make the mistake of thinking that "feeling nervous" before a presentation is a problem. Feeling nervous is your body's natural reaction to a sense of danger. Your brain, body and entire energy system evolved over the ages to make sure you feel nervous when in the presence of something that might cause harm. The better question is: what is making your brain and body believe that danger lurks in the conference room? That's the place to focus. And the way to start is to pay attention to the signals your body is sending you. What are your knees telling you? What's up with your stomach? What clues can you get from your hands or neck? Ignoring the symptoms of nerves - telling them to go away - just makes your system work harder to make sure you get the message: "Beware! The Auditorium is full of predators with you in their sights!" Listen to what your body is telling you. That's the first step to being able to talk back, and help it help you in a more resourceful way! |
