Presentations - Speech- Motivational Talk- Business Meeting?

Presentations- Speech-Motivational Talk Business Meeting- whether large or small groups its important to act like you know what your talking about and have confidence.
 Here are a few outlandish yet real tips on giving a successful & memorable presentation:
  • Start with a joke, then close with the same joke to indicate that the presentation is finished.
  • Shouting makes everything more memorable.  Use major voice fluctuation to keep peoples attention.
  • Make eye contact with your audience. (This is especially effective if you are crying)  Move on peoples emotions. 
  • Keep your head up don't look at the ground people will thinks weeds are growing down there and look too...very distracting.
  • Imagine that the audience is naked—they're doing the same to you; or at least they are trying to figure out if you wear boxers, briefs or bikinis.  

                                    Have a Great week everyone!

Total Health in 2011 Part 3-Success Takes Action

In the first article we talked about taking ownership of where & who we are today, and in the second post we talked about taking the limits off and thinking outside the box to compile a list of ideas to get you to where you want to be,  so today we are going to look at our list of ideas we compiled to make a  plan of action. 


A plan of action looks ahead.  You need to understand that the mind has NO limitation except what you put on it or what you allow others to put on it.  When reading through your list of ideas on how to be more successful don't start thinking you cant because if you think you can fail....you can. 


Former First Lady and author Rosalynn Carter wrote,


"You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk."




You need to ask your self, is what I am going after really worth it?  Am I willing to do what ever it takes to get it.  See most thing take something from us to attain, an investment of sorts, so what are you willing to give to get your desired results?  Time, Money, Effort, Energy, Extra hours out of your "free time".  Determine what YOU have to give in return to gain those things you want most. 


                             With that being said lets look at our list  and make a plan of action. 


Read through your list and  on a new sheet of paper write out the top 3 things you think will create the best results you desire.  Remember the last few things on your list are probably the BEST ones to put at the top of this Plan of Action.  Leave a bit of space under each item of action to make some notes. 


Now that you have your top 3  under each write a little something to elaborate on how you can put that into practice today. Write it out in present tense;  for example, Today I will..... I am....I have.....
Write it out as you already have it and it already look the way you want it to look. 


Your attitude and your state of mind is EVERYTHING!  That is all you have control over. 
You need to keep a positive mental attitude about the things you desire because as a man thinks in his heart so is he.


Remember you are where you are at today because of your thoughts.  Thoughts translate into words and words into action, so if you are reading this you  must be wanting to have things different in your life right?   OK, so from this moment forward you need to take charge of your thought and speak what you want.  I'm not saying ignore the reality you are in I'm just saying to change your mental attitude toward what ever situation and you WILL see change.  Your mental attitude effects the outcome of everything you do, say or have in life. 

Now that you have the top 3 action points and the positive affirmations below them I want you to  say them  daily.  read them until you believe them your self. 

It is a fact of life that if we have something in front of us and we say it enough times it will eventually come to pass.  That is the law of nature, that is how our brains were created.  When we renew our minds to whatever we are thinking on that soon becomes our reality.  You have to create a  passion and desire to see things come to pass because what you believe determines how you act and your actions create your future. 

So I encourage you now to keep this list in front of you, read it daily, before you go to bed at night so your subconscious mind can work on it while you sleep and  first thing in the morning so you have a plan of action for the day to keep you focused.   
Also think of other things to do throughout your day to implement to get you closer to your desired results. 

I encourage you to do this on a monthly basis, revisit your list of ideas and add new ones.  Don't have to many going at one time because that will get overwhelming, but choose 2 or 3 ideas and implement them regularly to keep the edge and to propel you forward. 

I guarantee you will see results as you keep your mind focused on the prize not on the negative things. 

Ill share more with you in the coming days on success and what it takes to get where you want to be!
