I was never a big football fan growing up. American football. That is until superfan Gloria Friedgen enlightened me that it was a sport where the smallest role was still critical to the team’s success. A star quarterback was of little use if the center couldn’t snap the ball to him.
I watched Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons yesterday and I was marveling at his confidence. The team was having a bad season. This game was a struggle. It would have been frustrating for anyone. But Matty Ice was having none of that. He was as confident in his and his team’s ability to make it happen as ever.
Confidence. It is the magic elixir. The drop of oil that can make the whole machine run like a top.
Here’s the connection to Matt Ryan, the Falcons and your ability to present well:
Matt Ryan has a system, a playbook, a process, a team of 50 to 100 people who, when they do their job, form that well-oiled machine.
Now to be sure, everyone there is a consummate professional. They practice long hours. They have years of experience. These two items all add immensely to their confidence.
But the system. That is their reliable tool. It is polished and refined and ready to give them the best possible chance of winning any game.
The system.
Here comes the cheesy sports metaphor…
The system is big for you as a presenter too. It is a major component that will build your confidence. The system will offer you a reliable process you can count on to deliver a powerful, effective speech.
Sure, practice and experience, like in sports, are part of the formula as well. But when you have the system…
- You get a rock-solid presentation that you can put in your pocket and know it is the best tool possible to connect with your audience.
- You know you can modify and changeup for different groups, topics and points-of-view. The system will help you make it work.
- You have something, like that family of football teammates and coaches, that you can rely on to give you your best shot in any situation.
That’s confidence.
That’s what a system can do for you as a presenter.
When I began to assemble my course, I knew that my system – the Ready2Speak system — would be the key.
A step-by-step system to help you build and deliver a proven, powerful presentation.
And my system will go a long way to build confidence for any presenter – newbies and experienced alike.
My 6-week course will be available next Monday, January 6. I invite you to join. It will change the way you present. It is for anyone who wants to connect more, influence more and/or sell more.
You’ll have a chance to supercharge your confidence with a powerful system. A system that you can use over and over again to make presentations you’ll be proud of.
Until Monday. In the meantime, check out the details…
