anyway? *21-year veteran of the home Design

* International design Award winner

*public speaker

*renovation Drill Sergeant

Part I – Physical presentation *Know your audience – dress to impress

Who would YOU hire?

What impression are you making?

*People will form an impression about you in the first

*Non-verbal cues have the impact on a first impression than anything you have to say

*So Head up! Shoulders back! smile! Look them in the eye!

Look approachable and confident

* Shoulders back! Head up! Look them in the eye! SMILE!

yes, you can!

Part 2 – Content *If the content is disorganized, full of jargon or boring, your physical appearance

won’t save you

1. Establish your credibility up front then refer to it intermittently but don’t beat people over the head with it

2. Establish your presentation goal early

a. Tell them what you’re going to tell them b. Tell them

c. Tell them what you told them d. call them to action

*Use supporting images * if your slides are all words/jargon, people will read and stop listening

*Slides with all words/numbers are boring, so the audience will tune you out *Include at least 1 startling fact somewhere in the presentation

*using humor keeps your audience engaged and awake *Accept questions during the presentation then again at the end

*At the end… *Summarize what you told them

*Call to action then call for questions *If someone asks a tough question, think before you speak, or tell them you’ll follow

up, then DO IT *If no one asks a question, have a couple ready to get the ball rolling

*Remember that your presentation should be entertaining as well as informative (unless you’re talking about death or taxes…. And even then…)
