As a professional speaker coach, I\u2019ve seen it all. Presentations that have made the audience gasp, cry, and beg for more, and presentations that have made the audience search wildly in their bags for their phones to check their mail the entire time. What makes a great presentation great? Oh, sweetie, so many things.\u00a0Too many to mention here. However, I\u2019d like to give you\u00a01 Golden Nugget of Wisdom<\/strong>which will help you rock your next presentation. Or meeting. Or negotiation session. Or job interview. Oh, the list is endless\u2026..<\/p>\n

One of the biggest \u2018Awesome Presentation (And Other Forms Of Comunication) Killers\u2019 is nerves. Do you ever get nervous before you have to give a presentation? Or before you walk into a high-level meeting? Dry lips, shaky hands, sweating like a monkey\u2026.the works! I\u2019ve been there, believe me. (Although I never get nervous, I get \u201creally excited to do this!!!\u201d)<\/p>\n

This simple technique will help you deal with those nerves. If you get nervous, you start to breathe higher up in your body. This could even get to a point where you will actually start to hyperventilate. There\u2019s no need to let that happen. Managing your breath is the first step to slaying that big nervous dragon that lives inside you and feeds on your fears. Let\u2019s slay that dragon together in just 3 minutes. What you need to do is to sit comfortably, with your feet on the floor (unless you are very short and\/or young and your feet don\u2019t reach the floor, then just dangle them over the edge of your chair). I\u2019d like you to breathe in through your nose, for a count of 4. Then hold that breath for a count of 7. Then exhale, as slowly as possible, from your belly, while making the \u2018f\u2019 sound, for a count of 8. Then repeat. In for 4, hold for 7, out for 8. If you do this just 5 times you\u2019ll feel a slight difference already. Your shoulders will drop and there should be less tension in your neck. Keep this up for as many breaths as you need to feel more relaxed. The important thing is that you exhale longer than you inhale.<\/p>\n

You can do this simple exercise before a stressful meeting, while you are stuck in traffic, in a far too long supermarket line\u2026.anytime, any place! I have been doing this for a while and it makes such a difference in how I deal with stress! I now pass out flowers when I\u2019m on a supermarket line. At least, in the supermarkets where they still allow me in.<\/p>\n

If you feel relaxed, your audience will be relaxed. There will be an open communicative mood in which everyone feels\u2026.kind of groovy. And who wouldn\u2019t want that? If I have to choose between sweating like a monkey and feeling groovy, you know which one I\u2019d choose!<\/p>\n

I hope that you found this tip valuable. If you\u2019d like more coaching on presentation or communication skills, just hit the \u2018reply\u2019 button and send me a message! Always happy to hear from you!<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for reading, dear. If there\u2019s something you\u2019d like me to cover in a future newsletter, just let me know! I\u2019m here for you, after all!<\/p>\n

Enjoy today. It will never come back again.<\/p>\n

See you next week!<\/p>\n
