7 Ways To Boost Your Presentation Skills
A little hint before we get started: Embodiment is key! Always.
And so it is in this exciting endeavor: to really reach and touch an audience with your valuable content.
I’m not gonna lie to you: 10 years ago speaking in front of a group was one of my legit worst nightmares and I tried to avoid it at all costs. Especially in the context of group discussions, I tended to totally freeze. My mind went totally blank and I felt like I was the dumbest person in the room. I tensed up in my body which caused an instant headache… which of course did not at all serve the situation any better.
Doing the Inner Work around my shadows and wounded parts, taking the chances to be “on stage” and having the experience that I survived over and over again (because that is what it is coming down to on the animalistic level of stress in our body/mind systems: our system takes it as life or death situations), Vipassana meditation, cultivating self-love, and working on having empowered, mature relationships towards all my feelings and emotions, is what shifted my attitude towards speaking and presenting, how I can hold myself in these situation, how focused I am, and how I am able to take up space tremendously.
Whenever I speak of “on stage” I mean not only literally being on a stage to perform but also to take up space in a group of people or before an audience and express yourself and your content in an empowering way that also reaches the audience.
While a lot of the above mentioned suggestions might take some time (because it is working on the roots of your system), and your presentation might be just in a few days or even today, I will let you in on my 7 ultimate secrets for upgrading your presentations skills almost instantly.
