I have spent the past few years working directly with middle school students, presenting almost weekly. More times than I can count I have come down off stage and been approached by a bright eye student who eagerly asks, “How do I do what you do?” They are eager to become a presenter and not yet jaded by the hurtful words of critique and criticism.
As naïve as this question may sound to many of us, my guess is you have asked the same question to yourself. I remember the first time I saw a great presenter. As they walked off stage I said to myself I want to do that someday. Fast forward 6 years and I am doing just that.
But the first step in becoming a great presenter is understanding who you are and how you are wired. The reality is that some of us think we are just not wired to stand in front of an audience and speak. But that is simply not true. We all have the ability to present, we just have to understand what our strengths are, and how to implement them.
The ethos3 team has created a tool that will help you do just that. We have put together a comprehensive test called Badge. Think of it as the myers briggs of presentations.
Self-awareness separates good from great and this assessment will do just that. It will show you who you are as a presenter and give you some practical steps to implementing your newly discovered presentation persona.
After you have taken the assessment head over to our new training program presentationmentor.com and sign up for our online course. This course will give you all the tools needed to step into the dream you have of being a great presenter, all at your own pace.
Whether you are presenting in a board room or ball room this course will equip you to take your strengths to the next level.
