I recently went to a concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London to watch the violinist Nigel Kennedy perform and his performance reminded me so much about the presentation skills and media training work we do at The Presenter Studio.
Nigel was performing the classic Vivaldi's Four Seasons but this wasn't Nigel giving a note perfect technical performance this was Nigel giving his own interpretation of how that music should sound and feel.
And it reminded me of the one thing that most of our clients at The Presenter Studio find hard to master and it's the one thing that we love helping with - and that's making things their own.
There's a long tradition and presentation skills of copy and pasting embracing the corporate voice, sounding 'professional', hiding behind slides - but is that really the most authentic way of communicating? Is that really your own take on how to present information?
So the next time you're doing a presentation think about your favorite performer, musician, or actor and how they own their content and make it very much their own. And that's what you need to do in your presentation to give it the impact it deserves.
