Add You - Charismatic Communication: How to Do Board Presentations: Part Two
People may not realize it, but there have been many key inventions that have come about since the start of the new millennium. In a world where we think we may have invented everything, new inventions, technologies and devices come about more often than we may notice. Would you like to come up with an idea for a new invention? Here is some basic advice.Think about what would make your daily life easier or more interesting. Do you need a better way to organize something? Do you have an idea for a novelty item? Brainstorm a list of possible items that can simplify your life.Next, pick some ideas that seem the best. Check to make sure the idea isn’t already taken. Contact the United States Patent and Trademark Office for more information. The
All of us involved with helping you get a new job, whether as third party recruiters or as representatives of a company, are evaluating you for employment are all receiving hundreds of emailed resumes a day. Having done professional search work for more than thirty years, I have seen both resumes change and how they are delivered change. The change in delivery means that how you think of your resume being seen needs to change too.1. Few people are really looking at resumes in the traditional sense of pieces of paper. They are looking at screen shots of approximately 1/4 -1/3 of a page per shot and attempting to make decisions based upon a few quick Page-Downs (or PgDn on your keyboard). For this reason you need to think of your resume in a differ
Design a powerful opening statement. If your opening statement is clumsy and inept, expect board members to label you as such and to process what they hear through that filter. People rarely separate the person from his/her behaviour in such instances. If your statement is confused, woolly, silly or uncertain, don’t be surprised when you notice that a fair number of your board have turned their cognitive lights out.
Make your content relevant. Persuasion researchers have found that one of the most important variables in triggering motivation to think about a message is personal relevance. Personal relevance can stem from a variety of factors: linkage to personal beliefs and values, desired outcomes, group expectations, plans for the future, corporate vision, issues of personal relevance to the board as a whole and shared experiences to name a few.
When the relevance quotient of a message is high it’s been found that people will be more motivated to scrutinise and think about its content. If your arguments bear scrutiny then you can expect to achieve higher degrees of persuasion.
During your groundwork phase discover ways in which to make the content relevant to your board. If you work in a specialised division avoid at all costs the gobbledygook and in-house language of your division. Translate your content into language that is relevant to board members.
Keep your presentation concise, succinct and to-the-point. Don't present too much detail, such that the impact of your presentation gets buried under the weight of the data you present.
Think about the level of energy you will incorporate into your delivery. Often presenters are in awe of their boards and allow this self-defeating emotion to impact on the degree of energy they invest in their delivery. Think carefully about how you will need to display the ‘courage of your convictions’. This is not to say that you should fake energy or go over the top, but your board will be reading at an unconscious level the degree of belief you have in the position you are advocating. If you are flat and monotone, be pre
Believe it or not, I know dozens of people who have put off completing a college degree because they were afraid to take the dreaded public speaking class. I have met business owners who have avoided opportunities to present their products or services to potential prospects because they were terrified of getting up there in front of an audience. When I hear that, I want to both hug them and shake them at the same time. It's ok to be nervous, but one of the fastest ways to grow your business is by public speaking and avoiding it is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's so simple to develop a great presentation. Once you get out there and present it a few times, you'll see how great speaking can be to help you get more people wanting t

According to the Oxford Dictionary the origin of franchises, with respect to the etymology of the word, lies in the French ‘franche’ meaning free. However, the original use of the word in the English language referred to the granting to citizens a right to vote. It then became used in the sense of a company granting another the right to sell its products or services.The first recorded origins of franchising as we know it is that of eighteenth century English brewers allowing others to sell their products in public houses, or ale houses as they were known then, as long as the brewers’ names were shown with the ales. Not only was the sale of the products allowed, since prior to then each ale house would brew its own ale, but also the company name

Bad career advice is easily found on the Internet and in print.The dawn of a New Year is when a lot of this bad advice rears its ugly head as people who don’t know what they are talking about try to convince you about the “10 hottest jobs” this year and how easy it is to work from home or why you should quit your fulltime job and become self employed.Usually this advice comes from people who don’t actually do what they suggest. They simply suggest it.Here is the worst advice I’ve heard that you need to think twice about before following: 1. Listening to people who talk about the hottest jobs of the coming year. What about next year? Are these jobs going to be hot then, too? And who decided they are “hot” anyways? Chasi

The loan signing agents have plenty of methods of attracting clients and promotion. People usually consider that large organizations are more reliable than just a single person and that is why independent contractors have fewer clients, most of which are permanent. Moreover, loan companies provide insurance from errors and omissions, what is not affordable to single agents. Of course, satisfied customers usually return and recommend the agent, who served them, to their friends. This illustrates the importance of the prestige of the agents. Of course new signing agents have not got their clients base and potential clients do not know them. A signing agent can let know others about his or her services by the following methods: 1) make an own web-site; 2)
Tell relevant and instructional stories. Passion by itself isn't the only necessary ingredient to getting your message across. One of the major tools you can use when talking to a board is to tell stories that prove your point.
Design support material to be released after the presentation. Board members are usually fairly busy individuals. Design your handouts to include dot point summaries of the key points you have introduced in your presentation. Give your handouts at the end of the presentation. Avoid overwhelming the board with written information unless it is part of your strategy for the board to sink in a sea of paperwork. Avoid passing documents around before your presentation, as some members will direct their attention to what is written instead of focussing on you.
Work the room as much as you can. Boards usually sit around tables and this can make it difficult to work a room:
- Always stand when you are making a board presentation
- Be careful to make sure all members have sight of multi-media presentations or overhead transparencies
- Always face the board when you are talking to points projected on to a screen, only briefly looking at the screen to keep your thoughts in order
- Avoid using a lectern
- Choreograph your movement by visiting the boardroom prior to a presentation. If possible do a complete dress rehearsal in the boardroom so you can comfortably work the space you have
