Will Hold You Back

I'm offering this video-based online presentation skills training because I want to fix your speaking difficulties and help you succeed.

Top 10 reasons people fail at public speaking and
business presentations

Reason #1

You think being an expert on your topic is enough

Your audience doesn't care about your expertise—they only care about how your expertise will help them get what they want. Unless your expertise addresses the audience's specific, immediate desire, keep it to yourself.

Reason #2

You think you can speak about anything

If an orthopedic surgeon said, “I can make an incision, I'll just go ahead and do your heart transplant” you would run in the opposite direction. You can probably go through the physical act of speaking on any topic, but should you? Your audiences will hate you for it.

Reason #3

You always do what everyone else does when they present

This reason didn't resonate with your mother when you were a kid and it won't resonate with your audience now. If everyone gives a boring presentation, they will not like your boring presentation any better. Instead, break the mold and give the audience something fresh and new.

Reason #4

You never met a Power Point slide you didn't love

Your audience never (rarely) met a slide they did love—and their preferences trump yours. So dump the slide software, and create a presentation or speech that connects with the audience.

Reason #5

You suffer from fear and nervousness when you're in front of an audience

Your nerves make you fall back on all the myths that give presentations and presenters a bad name; script, slides, podiums and dark rooms. You ask everyone for help and then get confused by all the different opinions.
Your fear won't go away by itself—but you can take charge of it! The most effective way to reduce your fear is to work on it step by step with a supportive and understanding coach.

Reason #6

You think getting applause means you're great

Applause is a measure of the feelings of the moment. You're a nice person, you're the boss, you had some humor, you showed some great images, and the audience is filled with people who have good manners. That's why you get applause.

The real test of your success comes from the retention of your message days and weeks later, and the actions they take as a result of that retention. If your only barometer is applause at the end of your speech, you are all fluff and no substance.

Reason #7

You don't have time to prepare

You do have time—the same 24 hours in the day that we all have. The question is whether you make time to work on your presentation.

If you don't spend enough time or if you spend too much time you are ignoring the needs of the audience in favor of other activities you think are more important. Your audience will be giving up their time to listen to you. You must put in just the right amount of time to be your very best.

Reason #8

You don't have money for training

You choose not to spend money on getting speech writing and coaching help. The money you spend on getting presentation skills help is an investment if you choose wisely.

Learn a systematic approach and the fundamental principles so you can apply them over and over for every speech. Do your homework so your coach can focus on the most important things. Don't wait until the last minute.

Reason #9

You are good enough

Good companies became great companies only after they decided that being good wasn't good enough. They wanted to be exceptional and did what they had to do to get there. If you settle for being a good enough speaker, you will lose money, opportunities and eventually your status and reputation.

People will only listen to good speaker for a limited period of time—then they decide they've had enough and will never listen to you again. Good enough is the enemy of great. That is the message from Jim Collins and it is the message for every single business speaker.

Reason #10

You're the boss so they will listen

They may look like they're listening but how often and to what extent do you see changes after the speech is over? The real measure of a successful presentation is getting a solid and long-lasting result from the audience.
