Description
Coachee’s objective
I want (or must) make a presentation in public, and I wish to brush up my stage management, persuasion and communication skills to convey an idea.
Characteristics of this coaching path
This coaching has a highly practical nature. The ideal would be that you have a real presentation to do so that you can use it as a case study. The video-feedback method will be used intensively. This coaching focuses on helping the coachee to organise logic and persuasive argument and to accurately convey it trough the specific tool used (i.e. PowerPoint, Word, Prezi, etc.).
Development plan
- Tackling stage fright (note: if you have tried other techniques which have not given the desired results, this coaching is for you).
- Stage presence: posture, movements, eye contact, facial experiences and more.
- Conveying the idea and persuading it is good: logic-based persuasion strategies and heuristic-based persuasion strategies.
- Using Power-Point, Word, Prezi and other tools.
- Managing the interaction with the audience.
Asao Sarukawa, Head of Editorial and Publication, JEADV, EADV Headquarters –
My presentation on Friday went so smoothly. When I went up front and faced the people, I felt so calm and focused that I didn’t feel stressed or nervous, not even a little! It was almost a surreal experience – it was like I went into this particular psychological state where all the words and messages I wanted to deliver just flowed out without any effort. I did not hesitate, not even a second. I was also able to look into people’s eyes, and felt that they are engaged in what I’m saying, which was a great feeling.
After the presentation, some people came up to me and congratulated how great it was and how much they learned.
Thank you again!
