ability to being able to share you expertise on a topic and also handle
different parts of act before and after you share.
Communication is a flow of conversation
your have with the organizer before the event the participants during the event
and then post event feedback from both organizer and participants
Organizer
It is important to have communication with
the organizer. They have hold the key to you have a successful event.
Details for how many people will be
attending? Technology needs from do you
need to bring your own laptop, projector, screen? If they supply that is it compatible with
your equipment
Can you offer special deals during your
presentation? Can you sell at the back of the room?
What has the audience bought in the past?
Prepare
The ability to engage with your audience
rest on you being prepared with your topic, knowing your time limit and working
toward creating ongoing engagement all they until your close.
Topic
Having a relevant topic to share, this goes
back to communication with the organizer as mentioned earlier. The may give you
suggestions of topics that I have been share in the past, you don’t want to
share the same topic as other speakers. Creating engagement is about
understanding the needs and wants of the audience and the organizer holds the
key to that!
Audience
Being able to engage and work with the
audience is a very important part of your talk. This where your skills and
strengths come in as being an engaging, energetic and teacher come in to play.
Every audience is different and as you continue to grow you speaking profile
you will come aware of when you participants are paying attention or when they
text on their iPhone!
Technology
Many speakers rely on technology to do
their talks from using fancy powerpoint to illustrate their expertise or point,
it come with one warning technology will
fail you! I have seen it to many times
and be part of it myself. You may be
prepared for the day but it does happen from powerpoint clicker not working,
loosing power to software malfunctioning. In many cases you can fix it and move
on. In some case you may have to do it freestyle with no powerpoint!
This come back to being prepared and
knowing your topic. As mentioned earlier you should be able to do with your
slides.
Post event
After the event is very import also to
communicate with the organizer to get feedback on the talk, collect feedback
forms (if they were used) and book the next date to speak!
In the end you these six strategies will
have you save time and energy and deliver an impactful and energetic
presentation that will yield results.
