Thank you and a quick preview for Monday

Before I get into this email, I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you.

For the questions

For the comments

For the critiques

And, of course, for the registrations to my course 6 WEEKS TO YOUR BEST PRESENTATION. It has been very gratifying to me to see the enthusiasm you have shown.

For those who have registered: I will try to send you a daily email to discuss what you should be thinking about and doing. Sort of to give additional insights, keep you on track and to remind you to send me any feedback, questions or comments.

I wanted to give you a bit of what to expect Monday when the first Module goes live…

I have 3 major goals to give us some basic understandings:

1) Discuss the natural but conquerable fear of public speaking and how you can build real confidence.

2) I go into detail about my Intelligent Practice System. This is a critical component to my course and to your success. Please take this seriously – it is the professional’s secret.

3) Another core feature of my course is to do a deep dive into understanding who you are presenting to — your audience. This is way more than just knowing demographics or even psychographics (whatever the heck that is). Mastering this will place you so far in front of just about every other run-of-the-mill presenter it is almost unfair. Almost!

There are a few worksheets and there is homework (good news – you don’t have to turn it in).

Here is an important point: These videos and worksheets won’t take that long. Each week’s module is meant to keep you engaged over the whole week. Take your time. Explore the concepts. Do the worksheets and put in the practice. I would recommend setting aside 15 minutes to an hour 3-5 times during the week for practice.

This is how you will get the most from this course.

Question: What if I can’t keep up with the work every week?

Answer: Take the lessons on your schedule. They are set up to be released over 6 weeks so that you won’t be overloaded with too much at once. After that you can take them or review them on your timetable for the next year.

Question: Can I get them all at once?

Answer: Sorry no. See above.

So that’s it for now. If you haven’t registered, please do it now. Registration closes soon. (Midnight tonight Eastern Time)

Last day.

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.

A tale of two goals

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

Available now by clicking below.

But only until Friday night at midnight. Then it will disappear along with the half off Charter Member discount and the 2 for 1 deal.

Clarity and Confidence. They will change the way you present.

Register now. 50% Charter Member discount code: CHMEM50-62

It should all be pretty clear by now: https://ready2speak.com/course

A pesky pachyderm predicament

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)

Learn more. My super-duper course is ready for you. 6 WEEKS TO YOUR BEST PRESENTATION

It will change the way you present. You will be a presentation superhero (maybe an exaggeration).

Anyway, check it out and register now. Registration closes soon (midnight on Friday, January 10). And then the elephant will have left the building.
