Success Pursuits

02/06/2020

People who have success in their own lives, on their own terms all have a clearly defined purpose, they have a clear plan to achieve it, and they have a passionate desire that drives them to reach their goals.

Successful people also demonstrate to us what is perhaps the most fundamental component of building success, and that is following the proven recipe which, fortunately for us has been studied, analysed, modelled and recorded as a powerful NLP technique, called the 5 Principles for Success.

The NLP Five Principles for Success are the strategies that successful people have in common, and together they provide all of us with a roadmap to achieving our goals and our dreams.

In this episode, we'll explore the first of the Five Principles for Success - Knowing Your Outcome.

There are some things that we can’t change, but if we really look at how we can improve one’s quality life regardless of the limitations they have and if we have strategies that can give them a better quality of life, to me, that is a worthwhile venture and that is what NLP does.

In this episode of Massage & Myotherapy Connect, I talked about my journey into NLP, how it relates to our work today and some of the techniques that NLP uses that are applicable to both our business and personal lives.

Joanne Clark talks about NLP in Massage and Myotherapy Connect and some of the techniques that NLP uses, and how it relates to our work today.

Feel trepidation around public speaking or making an important presentation? Feel uncertain about your ability to present in an authoritative, convincing manner? Afraid you'll lose your way, or forget what you were going to say?

A powerful way to boost your certainty around delivering a convincing, valuable message and remembering what you are going to say is to build your presentation around a solid framework.

One very effective framework that you can use is 4-MAT, based on work of McCarthy and Kolb. 4-MAT works with 4 key questions: Why? What? How? What if?

35% of people take in information with a Why Preference, 22% with a What Preference, 18% with a How Preference and 25% with a What If Preference.

For a powerfully engaging presentation, you need to cover all these listening preferences. 4-MAT provides the framework to address all these styles, and makes it easy and effective to structure and prepare your speech and easy to remember.

In our Speaking Up! one day workshop on November 1, you'll have the opportunity to build your 4-MAT framed presentation and practice in the safety and company of expert coaches and peers.

Breakthrough the limits that have held you back in the past and learn the key success principles and skills you can use to become a confident speaker to:

- deliver your message effectively
- boost your self-confidence
- showcase your knowledge and abilities
- inspire your audience
- open the door to new and exciting opportunities

and powerfully engage and serve your audience

** Being a Great Speaker: Success Tip #2 **

Connect to Your Audience to Serve Them

As presenters the audience is what matters – we don’t need to get our own message because we already know it! The whole purpose of a presentation/speech is to convey our message to the audience and to do that we need to truly SEE, HEAR and SENSE their movements and their mood.

**It is ALL about getting the message across to your audience. If you remember that, you'll worry less about the chatter in your head! **

The best prepared speech can (and often does) fall flat because the speaker is in “down” time and does not stay connected with their audience.

Expanded awareness refers to our capacity to attend to our environment, and to bring into consciousness what is happening around us. It is the conscious focusing on the external environment, as opposed to an internal focus on ourselves.

When someone is in a state of expanded awareness, they are alert and alive to everything around them.

To create this state you use the focus point of your eyes and expand your field of vision. When you are focused on one particular spot your field of vision is narrow and limited. This is called foveal vision. In this state, you are in “down” time and consequently more likely to be disconnected from your audience. However, you can expand your peripheral vision to include the whole 180 degrees and you can continue further to the point where you can even become aware of things that are happening behind you!

Being in expanded awareness, allows you to know how your message is being received by your audience and to make adjustments to your presentation if required.

**Being a Great Speaker: Success Tip #1**

Great speakers have personal power, charisma and most importantly, the ability to serve others in an impactful way.

The "gift" of being an impactful speaker can be learned!

Here is our first tip to being a more impactful speaker, presenter, storyteller, teacher and coach:

Did you know that, although the words we speak are important, non-verbal communication accounts more more that half of the meaning that is transferred to the people "listening" to us? That means that our:

- stance
- posture
- breathing
- facial expressions
- gestures
- movements

all impact on the people we are presenting to.

Even more surprising, is that much of this non-verbal communication happens and we are not even consciously aware of it.

The best way to start to be aware of and then use your non-verbal communication in a purposeful way, is to begin your presentation in "Speaker's Stance". This position (similar to Pilates or Yoga stances) allows you to focus, centre your thoughts and be aware of what's going on around you and then use your physiology to manage your emotions.

To get into Speaker's Stance, begin with your feet parallel and hip distance apart, anchored through your heels. Relax your knees, keeping them firm and pull back your shoulders slightly. Keep your hands by your sides, relaxed, with your palms facing your legs. Keep your head in a relaxed position as if there is a string connected to the crown of your head pulling it towards the ceiling. AND breath deeply - into your diaphragm - deep and slow.

Now you are in Speaker's Stance and from there, you'll start to notice more of what's happening around you and the impact you are having on the people you are speaking to. Try it out and let me know how you go.

Empowering yourself as a stronger and more effective communicator means you become a more confident and influential person.

Breakthrough the limits that have held you back in the past and learn the key success principles and skills you can use to become a confident speaker to:

- deliver your message effectively
- boost your self-confidence
- showcase your knowledge and abilities
- inspire your audience
- open the door to new and exciting opportunities

Do you stress about making work presentations … client proposal meetings … accepting awards … upcoming birthday speeches … weddings speeches … school oral assignments … in fact, **anytime the focus is on you to speak?**

Does the very thought of having to speak or present to an audience make you feel nervous, nauseous, sweaty, panicked?

Do you dread and go to great lengths to avoid situations where you might be called on to speak or present in front of others?

Well, you're not alone.

Research shows that fear of public speaking affects nearly 75% of us, no matter what our age or walk of life.

**Whether we are in a team meeting, or presenting in front of an audience, we all get called upon every now and then to speak publicly.**

Now you can do it well or do it badly - the choice is yours.

**Effective communication skills can open doors, but poor communication skills can close them.**

Holding onto a fear of public communication can have significant impact, not only how much influence you have, but also on how much you grow and develop as a person and as a professional within your industry.

It can affect the way people think about you. A perceived lack of confidence leaves people questioning your knowledge and abilities and therefore whether or not you are convincing or can even be trusted.

Failing to address your fear of public speaking can prevent you from adding value, sharing your ideas, showcasing your work capabilities, and presenting your great solutions to client problems.

Imagine overcoming this fear and building confidence and self-esteem, simply by improving your communication skills?

**Empowering yourself as a stronger and more effective communicator means you become a more confident and influential person.**

I'm trying to find a GIF that says "I'm terrified of public speaking".

Can you help by posting GIF ideas?

14/10/2019

Have you ever been watching and listening to a presentation and thinking:

"Why are you telling me this? "
"What is this all about?"
"How does this work for me?"
"What if I did this and it failed?"

and perhaps, worst of all (for the presenter AND for you), "Just get on with it, this is boring!"

What was the situation - I'm interested to know.
