Right, so Presentation Genius is based upon a lot (and I mean a lot!) of research. You know that, right? An article I wrote for HSBC just went online at https://www.knowledge.hsbc.co.uk/expert-views/article/improve-your-business-presentations which makes reference to some of it – specifically one way of dealing with presentation nerves…
The gist of it is that trying to pretend you’re not nervous when you are isn’t going to work. The research suggests you’re better of trying to convert that anxiety into excitement, as that is, at least, another high-energy emotion. If you try to convert anxiety to calmness you’ve got a whole lot of energy with no-where to go! Pop over and have a read of the full thing 🙂
Still here?
Well how about watching this short video? It’s a very short part of another interview I did because of the book – although I have to confess that it’s not about the book or it’s research directly 🙂
