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.
