Old school here. The voice over intro for the original Superman TV show:
“Look. Up in the sky…” There was a bunch more. Then there was this…
“He could change the course of mighty rivers. Bend steel in his bare hands…”
We can all be superheroes in our world. Flying around, saving innocent citizens from evil-speakers. Rescuing hapless meeting attendees from soul-crushing presentations.
Yes. We can.
All it takes is this one simple tool and you will stand tall among the Legion of Presenters.
The tool? A through line.
Ah, you say, it cannot be this simple.
Perhaps I exaggerate a little. But just a little.
If you develop a clear, singular goal that everything in your presentation revolves around (that’s a through line), and then you use it to artfully weave together your beginning, middle and ending, who knows what will happen? Perhaps your audience will cheer wildly, leap to their feet, put you on their shoulders, carry you to City Hall where the mayor will award you the Superhero of Super Presentations Lifetime Medal.
I’m getting a little carried away here.
You will, however, place yourself far ahead of your competition, your peers and just about any other pretender to the cape. You will love your presentation and your audience will love it as well.
With just a good through line.
In my course (6 Weeks to Your Best Presentation) I spend a lot of time helping you build a solid, logical through line. One that is worthy of your super heroness. One that becomes the foundation for a clear, solid presentation.
And we do a bunch of other very cool stuff. All centered around making you a proper Super-Duper Presenter.
You can change the course of wimpy presentations. Yes, you.
No need for the cape.

p.s. I just added a great video interview with The Sales Energizer, Dan Jourdan. Dan is a superhero of sales. In Module 5 he shows us how we can turn a standard speech into a powerful sales presentation without becoming that jerk who ripped you off at the used car dealer’s. (Hint: it’s all about relationships and respect)
