That's a huge one in the business world, right?

When you hire someone for specific tasks or projects, you leverage your time!

The main challenge is to find the right person for what you need.

The second challenge is to train that person.

Managing a team is a whole topic by itself, so I won't dive in it here.

Simpy know that there are many aspects of your business you can easily delegate.

That's one of the key productivity strategies you can start applying right now.

It is really that simple!

If you enjoy what you are doing, it shows!

Your audience feels it! They reflect what YOU feel.

You lead an event not only by what you say but by what you radiate!

In fact, these invisible vibes that you send out is what sets the mood for the event.

Look at this:

If you enter a stage with fear and insecurity that's what your audience will feel.

If you are confused, that's what they get too!

If you are high on energy and have fun, that's what they feel too.

So, setting up YOUR mood before entering a room is ESSENTIAL.

Often, presenters spend too much time worrying about what they will say rather than how they say it.

You probably realize that according to psychological studies at least 90% of you transmit is communicated trough non verbal forms.

The two big visible aspects of this non verbal transmission is the tone of your voice and body language.

Now, your next step is to consider the INVISIBLE as well.

RADIANCE! VIBES! ENERGY!

These are way subtler aspects that your audience perceives!

Have you ever observed the way you feel when someone is insecure? It makes you feel very uncomfortable, right?

Now, how do you feel when you are in the presence of a super confident person.

That makes you confident too!

What do you prefer feeling?

See how it works?

This is called limbic or emotional resonance.

It is our ability to imitate someone else's emotions.

This happens spontaneously! We don't even need to think about it.

When you have fun, smile and enjoy leading an event that's what everyone else feels too!

This is the equivalent of making the choice between lecturing or facilitating.

Lecturing is used way too often in situations in which facilitating would be much more appropriate.

You want results!

You want your audience to be impacted by this experience.

Here is a key idea:

GET THEM INVOLVED!

This sounds simple and it works!

It shifts an event from a one direction transmission to a much more dynamic exchange that people remember.

ACTIVE PARTICIPATION!

That's what you want to trigger.

Guess what?

This is NOT about you motivating them to move!

This is about you simply OPENING SPACE!

The reason why many presenters or event leaders resist taking that step is because the balance of power shifts when you go from lecturing to facilitating.

When you lecture, YOU speak and THEY listen.

YOU are the expert, THEY are the students.

It creates a strong hierarchy in an event.

When you facilitate, everyone gets involved and the event is CO CREATED!

That's a RADICALLY different format!

My guess is that your audience WANTS to participate rather than sitting passively on a chair listening.

THEY want to get involved, create and find answers together.

That's the key for shifting from a powerpoint-like limbo to an active, high energy, high impact event.

When you have an audience, there are many roles you can play:

• Speaker
• Entertainer
• Performer
• Chairman
• Facilitator
• Trainer
• Coach
• Energizer
• Etc.

I know that this can sound strange to some but I believe there is a spirit, force or intelligence which is overseeing and sponsoring any meeting, event or presentation.

This is the force that inspires behind the scenes and this is the true source you want to tune into.

When the leader of the event, the audience and the spirit of the event are synergized the event is a success.

Another key point here.

When you listen, you come up with a presentation that matches your audience's needs.

After that, their agenda becomes your agenda.

It's a win-win you want to create.

If you want to reach your audience, you need to listen to their needs.

Too often, you will see a presentation TOTALLY missing the point because there is ZERO awareness of what the audience needs or wants.

Very often it is in the form.

Other times it will be in the delivery.

What does your audience EXACTLY want?

A key tip if you make a presentation of any kind.

People who assist to whatever you present need too GET something they didn't have before.

They need to get something they NEED!

Identify what this "Thing" is and give it to them!

• Great product
• Enough exposure
• Right pricing
• Right packaging
• Selling strategy

Technology is a BIG deal today!
