Find Your Voice and Get Ahead in Business

// May 19th, 2009 // coaching

Ok, so here’s the scene… your boss ‘asks’ you to present findings / projections / sales pitch to some particularly important people. Rabbit in the headlights moment, s/he smiles supportively and with a quick squeeze of the elbow tells you “You’ll be fine”.

Now you are left with a sense of dread and foreboding. It’s not that you don’t know your stuff, its not that you aren’t well prepared.. it is that you know, just know that you are going to blush/sweat/shake and generally look out of control!

The biggest obstacle to delivering a good presentation is how your body and brain are communicating. It’s a great machine the body and over the course of evolution has helped you to survive everything from stampeding Mammoths to treks across the desert, all thanks to the magic that is your Autonomic Nervous System… responsible for fight or flight response. The trick is to have strategies in place that will control whether you run or stand your ground. Either option is best adopted with some grace and dignity.. so no headless chicken moments! So how do you gain this control, increase the efficiency of using that adrenaline in a positive and constructive way rather than let it rule you? Well, strategies that are grounded in performance art techniques frequently share a psychological base and as such can be used to enhance confident performance and rapport with an audience.
