Presentation Skills - Personal Style Presentation SkillsWould you like to master presentation skills quickly and forever?Do you know what your personal presentation style is?If you can understand how presentations work for you, your strengths, weaknesses and idiosyncrasies, then you can deliver presentations that work with the flow of who you are.Personal Presentation StyleWhen we use our own words to express ourselves when we speak directly from the heart or the mind that is when we have the greatest impact on an audience.Knowing your personal presenting style and having the confidence to go off script, allows you to respond directly to the needs of your audience.The stronger their engagement the greater your influence.Great InfluenceYou will probably know and recognise these iconic words.'I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a Dream today!'Thursday, August 28th marked the 40th anniversary of one of the most famous speeches ever uttered.Battle CryNearly sixty years ago, in 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington and issued a battle cry that stirred the American nation in the struggle for civil rights.Words that still echo today and fuel our desire for equality and a just society.Not Scripted Just Well PreparedSome of these words are not in the "I have a Dream" speech Martin Luther King wrote.Interestingly from a presenting skills point of view, the draft of this most famous public address, written the night before at Washington's Willard Hotel does not contain the key line'I have a Dream today'Mr King Also Knew His Presentation StyleThis line was added extemporaneously as King spoke to the huge throng at the Lincoln Memorial.Twice he used it to roused his audience to cheer and create fierce hope for a better future.What has since been heralded as a model piece of speech making or presenting was, in fact, well-prepared improvisation.Master Presentation SkillsWe can't all be great speakers, but with a little work, we can master presentation skills and the environment in which presenting is done.When we feel more in charge of the presenting arena we begin to present with flair.And, interestingly just developing a sense of our presenting skills and personal style helps us feel and therefore look better when presenting.Presentation Skills TrainingImpact Factory runsOpen Presentation Skills CoursesTailored Presentation TrainingFive Day Presentation With Impact Workshopsand personalisedOne-to-One Presentation Coachingfor anyone who is interested inPresentation Skills Issues
