POWERFUL PRESENTATIONS!
Wednesday I had the opportunity to listen to Fred Ashforth and his topic was Powerful Presentations.
Fred taught us how to give a presentation so the people, “listen, remember and act”
He taught us to know your PAL
-Understand your real Purpose
– Know your Audience
-Be clear on Logistics
Understand your PECK
-being Prepared
-being Enthusiastic
-being Committed
-being Knowledgable
He was very warm and inviting and had us laughing. Fred was full of tips, behaviors to use, behaviors to avoid, and we learned about Podium etiquette.
After lunch we got a demonstration on how to dress for a presentation:
After a laugh from this, we all took turns giving an Impromtu speech on a topic chosen by Fred, which really racked the brain because you spent about 30 seconds preparing until your name was or wasn’t called.*I was near the end so I went through this mental exercise several times before I was off the hook. I had the intention of recording this speech but unfortunately, the microphone on my camera didn’t pick up my speech, but heres a snapshot.
After we all gave our speeches, Fred encouraged us to join Toastmasters to gain more experience and he also said that if you see someone give a horrible presentation to have them contact him… LOL!
