I know I try to include a little tip here and there in my emails to entice you into reading a bit. Then a gentle pitch for my course.

A little more direct today.

It is the last day for registrations. I wanted to make sure you knew that.

I am very thankful for all the last-minute orders. Thank you. Thank you. And I wanted to make sure you were making the right choice.

You see I know this course is not for everyone. I know there are a lot of folks who are satisfied with where they are. They like to make a few presentations and “wing it”.

I don’t think that is you. If you have read this far, I am assuming you are serious about your presentations whether they are for your team, your clients, your community or even a broader audience.

You know how powerful communication can change things. It can change outcomes. It can change sales. It can even change lives.

I want you to know that becoming a better presenter will change your life as well. You will see your confidence increase dramatically. Because you will have the tools and the techniques.

So, I invite you to choose. Between where you are now. And where you want to be in 6 short weeks. Armed with new knowledge. New insights. New abilities.

A few of the details:

6 Weeks of online training. Multiple videos released every Monday morning. Worksheets, audio files, transcripts and, yes, assignments.

There will be work. If you want it to work for you, it requires some practice and commitment.

50% off until midnight tonight. No ifs, ands or buts.

2 for 1 so you can share your success with a friend or coworker.

There will be at least 2 Q&A sessions plus I will answer any of your questions via email. (I am a little anxious about overwhelm with this since I will personally answer each one) The most universal questions will be in the Q&A sessions.

What else… Access to all materials for 1 year. I plan on getting a few more extended interviews like the one I got with sales guru Dan Jourdan. All this is viewable on any device.

And if you are still unsure. Give it a shot. Put in the effort. Take a serious road test. If you feel it’s not for you within 30 days, I’ll send your money back.

So please decide.

I want to share your success with upcoming classes. I want your testimonial. I want to hear how this all helped you become a much better communicator and supercharged your career.

Register now. 6 WEEKS TO YOUR BEST PRESENTATION, it is available at a nice little discount (50%) plus 2 for 1 until midnight tonight.

Back in my TEDx coaching days I was asked to help a young man who was a last minute add-on to the agenda.

While his presentation was not the typical jumble that I have seen with a lot of struggling non-professionals, it was still a bit unorganized.

He was talking about a quirky thing he and his extended family did to raise a modest amount of money that they would then donate to a charity that held great meaning for all of them. It was a fun thing they did but had its roots in remembering a dear family member and giving back to a significant charity.

After working with him for a short while we decided that this core story should be the core of his presentation. His “why”.

It seemed so obvious when we looked at it together, but he had gotten lost in the forest for the trees. A very common occurrence for presenters and experts and just about anyone who wants to speak in front of an audience.

That is the value of a coach. A good coach can help you see, sometimes easily, what you alone cannot.

When we reorganized his talk around this central idea, it brought clarity to the entire presentation. It explained his why.

Goal one met: Clarity.

The second goal was a byproduct of the first.

As I watched him on the TEDx stage I saw an engaging and confident presenter who gave the audience a powerful example of how a simple behavior could make a difference in people’s lives.

The second goal: His confidence.

I cannot say that this surge of confidence was the total result of creating clarity in his message and presentation, but I am sure it helped. A lot.

When you know you have a clear, powerful, well-organized presentation your confidence builds.

Just like when a house builder has a clear, well-designed set of blueprints they know that they can build a great house for their client.

It’s that kind of self-assurance – confidence — and it is powerful.

It’s no small coincidence that these two goals: clarity and building confidence are core components to my course: 6 WEEKS TO YOUR BEST PRESENTATION

You find yourself presenting your brilliant ideas to a group of people who can buy. Big time. A lot.

Yet they don’t.

You gave them your best stuff. All the reasons why. All the benefits, the features and even touched their emotional needs.

No sale.

There was still that big guy in the back with his arms crossed. And you noticed a distant look on a bunch of other folks faces.

You may have missed what I call the “elephant in the room” scenario. It goes like this.

We are all natural skeptics. We are constantly telling ourselves this won’t work, or this is b.s. or those people doesn’t know what they are talking about.

They have objections.

Those objections are the elephant in the room – the things we don’t see, and we don’t talk about. But they are there, and they are BIG.

Your audience won’t bring them up. So you have to.

Take the time to explore your audience’s possible push backs – their objections to your ideas or product. Ask representatives in advance. Do some research.

And know what deep dark doubts are lurking in their skeptical minds.

And then bring those doubts up into the crystal clear light of day and counter them.

It might sound something like this: “I know that a lot of you are not so sure about this million dollar widget. I would be also. Let me offer some unbiased testimonials from our clients…”

Don’t let that big old pachyderm in the meeting room squish your sales. Expose that beast for the paper tiger she is. (another mixed metaphor – sorry)

First Module is released on Monday.

Here’s a short tip to entice you…

“I was watching a video with former FBI Hostage Negotiator Chris Voss. I heard him discuss in a workshop how the pronouns I use color the way my audiences hear me. I noticed he used the first person in his first example and then switched to the exact same piece of text but in the second person. I learned a valuable lesson from this simple illustration.”

Or…

“You can watch a video with former FBI Hostage Negotiator Chris Voss. You will hear him discuss, in a workshop, how the pronouns you can use color the way your audiences hear you. You will notice he used the first person in his first example and then switched to the exact same piece of text but in the second person. You will learn a valuable lesson from this simple illustration.”

I and you. Such simple words, but basically switching one for the other can give an entirely different emotional feel to your comments. Using “you” can include your audience in the experience in a subtle but valuable way.

The above example can sound a little forced or stiff and may not be applicable throughout your remarks.

But you can and should look for any way possible to include your audience in your presentation. Using “you” is a simple but effective switch.

I can tell from experience how powerful this can be.

Oooops…

You can tell from experience how powerful this can be.

Here is a quick secret I learned years ago when I became a member of the National Speakers Association – the nationwide organization to promote the “profession” of speaking.

When I joined, I experienced the power and magic of some of the world’s greatest speakers. To watch and learn from these brilliant presenters was a career changer for me.

I soon began to see consistent reasons for their success. Reasons that any person seeking to level up to becoming good at what they do can take to heart.

• One is being a student of their craft. There is always more to learn.
• Another is putting in real effort in realistic practice.
• And the third is the best speakers, the ones who were working the most, who had the killer presentations and the most powerful and effective stories, had all done one thing…

They had spent money (sometimes a lot of money) to improve their abilities.

Spent money on coaching. On acting lessons. On training. On mastermind groups.

Here is my shameless plug…

I am offering you that kind of wisdom in my course 6 WEEKS TO YOUR BEST PRESENTATION.

It is filled with what I have adopted while working with some of the world’s best. What I have developed as I have coached executives and even the rawest of beginners.

Stuff that works.

A step-by-step path to your best presentation. Over 6 weeks.

Registration is open.

It closes Friday, January 10 at midnight.

Get on board. It will change the way you present.
