Public Relations for Bridge Builders

There is an important rule to remember during presentations. The audience is KING! Yes, the audience can make or break you. The audience is who you want to reach out to with your message, pitch etc. There is no need to fear the audience. With practice, you'll feel much more positively about your audience and in turn, more confident about presenting to them. Remember, the audience is simply made up of individual human beings much like you. I always believe that each person in the audience expects your best and hopes that you deliver your best.

Genuine rapport is based on empathy. Confident presentations are made by people who respect their audience and who use their entire repertoire of communication skills to really connect with their audience.

1. Vocal tone:

That's where the dreaded word monotonous comes in. This will put your audience to sleep. If you your voice is really mono-toned, please consider hiring a speech coach.

2. Facial expressions:

Rehearse your facial expressions using a mirror, or better still, a video. Check that your facial expressions are appropriate and varied. Using the mirror or a video, please check that you have minimized or eliminated any nervous facial gestures you make. Once you are aware of the various weird or crazy facial expressions that you make, you can go on to correct them.

3. Hand gestures:

I have the habit for speaking with my hands, so I've had to tame them a bit. Make sure you don't look too wooden or too distracting.

Rural Sourcing
I remember it all so well. The dot-com had just dot-bombed, the stock market was suffering from a sucker punch to the throat, and we were beginning to hear about some guy named Ken Lay.

Increase Product Awareness by Becoming an Expert

The power of print, advertising, and images from television and film often have more of an effect on consumer choices then they may admit.With a product or service to sell, you

4. Pacing:

Speak slowly. Don't rush through. Having said that, don't speak too slowly as well cause this will only irritate the audience and make you sound stupid. Worldwide, there is an accepted proper pace for optimum comprehension by your audience. What I suggest is to record yourself reading out three minutes of your presentation at your normal pace. If in three minutes you were able to cover more than 480 words, you're speaking way too quickly. If in three minutes, you only covered 420, the snoring in your audience will let you know that you're speaking way too slow!!! Hence about 450 words in three minutes would be optimum

5. Pitch:

Please don't commit the terrible crime of ending your sentences by going up in pitch - unless you are in fact, asking a question. As a rule of thumb, if you really want to emphasize a point, a piece of information, lower your pitch for the last couple of words in your sentence. Make sure you establish plenty of eye contact.
