How to Give Better Virtual Presentations

July 26, 2020

Virtual presentations, speeches, and pitches are here to stay, so it's time to polish up your game.

It's time to take your virtual presentations from “do I have to?” to “I can't wait to deliver this one.” The same old tactics are not working like they used to when it comes to delivering a virtual talk, presentation, proposal, or pitch. 

I've got four quick ideas that can help you take your Zoom meeting from meh to YEAH. In this episode, I cover: 

  • How to really get their attention

  • What to do about distractions

  • How to master your vocal energy (and why this matters so much)

  • Ideas for managing the screen

“The people that make me stop my scroll and think differently and pivot my behaviors and change my perception — all have one in one thing in common: they aren't afraid to be human.”

I also recommend checking out episode #27 with Caroline Goyder and episode #6 with D'Arcy Webb — two vocal coaches that I've interviewed in the past.

I also chat a bit about wine — and what is better for summer than Rosé? I pair this episode (and some Yellowtail Poke) with the L'Original Rose which you can grab directly from me at www.scoutandcellar.com/mikeganino

My approach is all about transforming your relationship with your voice, body, and story. It's one thing to write about it - it's another to take a breath and speak the words out loud.

Ready for your close-up?

You don’t need a speaking coach, a formula, or to follow someone else’s steps. You need feedback about how the audience experiences your ideas, your presence, your story, and your speech. 

That’s what a keynote director does.

"Mike helped me create the signature keynote I'd been dreaming of giving.  He was so skillful, artful, creative in helping me create a #mikedropmoment."

“He should have charged me 5x as much because the VALUE I received was so astounding!”

“Working with Mike made me more compelling, more motivational, more relatable, and more myself”
