Five presentation designers and co-hosts are in your ears for episode sixty-seven of The Presentation Boss Podcast. We've got a collaboration episode today, where Kate and Thomas joined up with the three co-hosts from The Presentation Podcast. Yes, the similarity in names is half coincidence, and half telling that we are all about relatively similar things. We get to know each other a little better during this (slightly over one) hour, have some laughs and geek out over some presentation nitty-gritty too! Troy Chollar, Sandra (Sandy) Johnson and Nolan Haims are each PowerPoint MVP's and each run their own successful presentation design studios. Their podcast (one of Thomas' absolute favourites) is a fortnightly show with discussions revolving around all aspects of presentations, including design, technology and sometimes, guest specials. The five of us decided we could have a lengthy conversation about our journeys through the industry and with our podcasts. The episode will be released on each of our podcasts, so if you're subscribed to us both, that's why you'll hear something similar. If you're not subscribed to both, you ought to be! For regular viewers here, this is a little bit of a different format and we hope you love this massive conversation! About The Presentation Podcast: The Presentation Podcast is a conversation among presentation design studio owners (across the USA) about presentation design, tools, tips, running a design studio and more. New episodes release on the first and third Tuesday of each month. What We Discuss: • The upcoming virtual Presentation Summit • Origin stories of how each group met and why we started our respective podcasts • Specific niches and specialisations of each co-host (and yes, we're each different!) • Why this podcast rotates through the three formats • What benefits we each get out of the podcast experience (and some behind the scenes on individual roles) And we do talk about presentations, specifically: • The software we find is being most used and that we most work with (PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote, Google Slides or Canva) • Professional and Tech tips from each presenter (all links below) Mentioned in the Show: Episode 107 of The Presentation Podcast Troy Chollar (California): TLC Creative Services The PowerPoint Blog Nolan Haims (New Jersey): Present Your Story Blog Nolan Haims Creative Sandy Johnson (Minnesota): Presentation Wiz The Presentation Guild Pro/Tech Tips: Troy: Synchronise App Sandy: Mmhmm App Thomas: Phil M Jones - Exactly What to Say Kate: Headliner App Nolan: Hanna...

98. Speech Breakdown: Ignite Talk by Mark Cohen "How to Eat a Banana" 21:33

4 years тому21:33

21:33

Hold on for episode ninety-eight of The Presentation Boss Podcast. Here we're listening to a talk from the internet and pausing as we go to evaluate, make comment and highlight what the presenter does. We're looking at a new type of speech; the Ignite Talk. A 5 minute speech where every 15 seconds the slides (which are prepared by the presenter) automatically advance. And we're familiar with this talk, as Thomas has given one himself. This is a fast-paced style of speaking. And this particular example is a beautiful execution of the style. In fact, it's such a clear message and concise delivery that Thomas and Kate both use the message in their vocabulary and training. And both of them think it's one of their favourite talks of all time. It's not without flaws though, and comments are made about pace and language choices. Lots to learn and listen to here! And spoiler alert, the talk isn't really about eating bananas. Show your support for this episode on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationboss What You'll Learn • Exactly what an Ignite Talk is, and that time Thomas presented one too • How opening with a story builds interest and grabs attention • The difference in preparation between a 10-minute talk, and a 5-minute talk • Being careful to align language and humour use to the audience • Use of explicit language in a talk; if and when it is ever appropriate • Why your conclusion should be the most powerful part of your speech, and how.

97. How to Crush Your Fears and Stop Avoiding Speaking Up 17:02

4 years тому17:02

17:02

Let's kick off episode ninety-seven of The Presentation Boss Podcast! A few weeks ago, Kate had a conversation at a social function and spoke to two individuals who confessed they avoid speaking and presenting at all costs, even though they know it holds their careers back. Naturally, she asked some deeper questions and found the reasons, fears and excuses they have that have them avoiding speaking up. That list of fears is five common reasons both Kate and Thomas hear frequently. And while they are real in the mind of some people, we know that they are constructs, and sometimes just an excuse. Speaking can be hard, but holding your career back is hard too. Let us help you identify what may be going on in your head and sort out what's real and what's not. In this episode we walk through those five speaking fears, and how to crush them with a little mindset shift. No more avoiding public speaking and presentations; here's the tools to really get you over the hump of sweaty palms and sleepless nights! Show your support for this episode on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationboss The Five Biggest Fears: 2:11 - "What if I'm not good?" The worry that your audience will judge you and/or you'll look unprofessional. 3:57 - "What if someone criticises me?" The fear that you'll receive negative comments and be made to feel awful. 7:17 - "But it's not necessary for me to speak; I have nothing unique to share" The idea that you need to create new and exciting ideas before you can speak at all. 10:14 - "I'm not at all qualified to speak; what right do I have to take time and attention?" The concern that you're unworthy to share your thoughts and knowledge on a given topic. 12:07 - "What if I go entirely blank when presenting?" The anxiety around not knowing how to ensure your talk is clear enough in your mind.

It's a battle on misinformation in episode ninety-four The Presentation Boss Podcast! Kate and Thomas hear a lot of advice about speaking. Some of it is awesome. Some of it is average. And some of it is between entirely wrong and toxic. No doubt this advice and ideas are shared with the best of intent and comes from the right place, but we just know it to be wrong and unfortunately, unhelpful to recipients. So, in this episode, we list the five scariest myths when it comes to speaking and presentations and discuss why they don't work. And we also discuss the best alternatives you should be doing instead. And we totally have a good giggle along the way; this is a fun episode!

This is a show to remember. Episode ninety-three of The Presentation Boss Podcast! Today we have back Anthony Metivier, who you may remember from when we did a breakdown of his TED Talk (that Thomas coached).

We know one of the greatest public speaking fears is going blank on stage, so it only seemed right to have an expert in not forgetting share his wisdom and tools on the microphone. We have a great in-depth conversation that clears up what a memory palace is and how to use it, what you can do to internalise the flow of your presentation and exactly what it takes to practice these techniques.

Prepare for discussions on episode ninety-two of The Presentation Boss Podcast. In this episode, Kate and Thomas take a look at a TED Talk all about persuasion in presentations - yes it is a bit meta, but we love the double-whammy of knowledge you'll see here. There is a lot to learn here, from excellent use of visuals, careful placement of humour and of course, how to be more persuasive in your communication. While Kate introduces a numerical rating system here, Thomas disagrees with the idea that this talk uses vocabulary that is less accessible than it could be. The simple message however, is clear and well communicated. These are the talks we love to see - great examples of presentations with discussion evolving from what we see and hear.

Set sail for episode ninety-one of The Presentation Boss Podcast! Kate and Thomas had a conversation about what makes a great speaker. And eventually agreed that there are a number of exercises they each consciously implemented (some many years ago) that became habits and have definitely improved their skills. In all the guest interviews, these same or similar habits have been mentioned too. It's clear then, that even when not speaking, there are habits you could develop in this new year that would make you a more confident and comfortable presenter - no matter your skill level. There's five suggestions in this episode. All are simple to implement. And honestly, doing any of them imperfectly would be a great start to building the habit and becoming a better presenter. We know though, with a little conscious effort and discipline, they'll become an easy habit that is forever improving in the background. What's not to love!?

Kate and Thomas sat down to reflect on the year behind us, how the business changed, what the weekly podcast achieved and where we've pointed for the next twelve months. This is always the time of year to set goals and we're sure some of our learnings will be valuable to you too.

We explain exactly what fueled that and what it has meant for you listening to the podcast • The world's biggest working from home experiment affected us too, and while online isn't the same as in-person, it gave us all a new skill and we share exactly how it's best leveraged • What we have planned for the year ahead, both for this podcast and in the business.

It's summer holidays on Episode eighty-eight of The Presentation Boss Podcast. In our last episode, we shared our best techniques for kids to get going with their public speaking. Today we chose to double-down by breaking down a TED Talk delivered by a child. And then we tripled down as we have Kate's eldest daughter, Felicity age 6 also in the studio to share her thoughts of the talk too. Our first ever break-down guest! We know one of the best ways to become a better speaker is to watch other speakers. And today's talk is short, super sweet and simple but still displays some of the core foundations of what makes a great talk. Plus we get to hear the insights from Felicity on what her young mind sees when she watches this TED Talk. Prepare to learn all about sea lions, protecting sea mammals and a lovely metaphor for turning a bad experience into positive action. All from a speaker aged just 8 years old. Should be a quick and easy listen while you enjoy your end of year break! And yes, Thomas knows he accidentally called this episode 89 in the recording. A resolution for him in 2021 is to learn to read spreadsheets better.

It's the end of the year for episode eighty-seven of The Presentation Boss Podcast! And with the world population of kids and students home for the holidays, Kate and Thomas figure it might be a good time to share the basics to help them get ahead in their speaking skills. The newest generation has such an advantage as they grow up in this connected world, but presentation and public speaking skills are just as critical, if not moreso than ever. And already, Kate is seeing how education around speaking is changing with her first-grader. Here's what two millennials wish they knew when they were the age that Gen-Z is now. Kate and Thomas could not have had more different experiences in early life with speaking, which they share in this episode. Then cover the methods that are worth practicing to build the confidence and foundations for future speaking brilliance. Kids who speak better become adults who speak brilliantly.

It's an inspiring time on episode eighty-six of The Presentation Boss Podcast. Kate and Thomas have been following the work of Vinh Giang for years, and earlier this year completed his online vocal course. He has a beautifully uplifting philosophy around your communication skills, but also the deep understanding to help you get there. After a year or so of trying to feature Vinh on the show, he's our last guest for 2020. This episode is a true conversation and we reckon you'll want to listen to it at least twice and take notes on the techniques he shares, steps you need to take and precisely what skills all of us need to work on to be able to communicate effectively.

This earned him the award of Top Young Entrepreneur in Australia. He is now a motivational and inspirational keynote speaker and uses magic as his metaphor when he speaks - he's found a way to make the medicine taste good! Vinh believes that presentation ability is the skill that often separates those that succeed from those that do not. Often underestimated, it is one of the core traits of all leaders and influencers, and is what gives them a key point of difference. What You'll Learn • Why Vinh Giang started life as a magician, and why he transitioned to speaking • The inescapable, and universal reason why the ability to communicate effectively is important • What skills you'll need as a technical aspect to be able to make changes in your world, and change the world • How you incorporate a unique skill or lessons from another skill into your presentations • The three instruments a speaker plays, how to play them and why • How to think about your voice as an instrument and the five foundations you need to work on • Using a three-way mirror to get a good perspective of yourself, to know what skills you need to improve • Whether content or delivery is more important, and why • How does being an introvert or an extrovert change how we should communicate.

Put your hands together for episode eighty-one of The Presentation Boss Podcast! In this episode we give you the answer to one of our most asked questions; "What do I do with my hands when speaking?" We get it, as you speak and nervousness kicks in, nothing feels comfortable and natural and you become hyper-aware that every movement seems strange and unnatural. What Kate and Thomas discuss in these few minutes is what you should be doing when you don't know what to do with your hands. As you become a more comfortable speaker, either over time or throughout the presentation, you'll become comfortable. But here we share where to start, exactly where to put your hands so you don't have to worry about looking like an awkward octopus! We discuss what to do with your hands when you: • Have empty hands, and are just speaking au naturale, • Need to hold something like a whiteboard marker or PowerPoint clicker, • Are handed a microphone and have to hold it the entire time, and • End up needing to speak from behind a lecturn. We also laugh at how Kate finds it impossible to use her left hand with a microphone!

It's numbers and narrative on episode seventy-five of The Presentation Boss Podcast. Numbers don't make sense outside of the context of the story they tell. And while we may have access to the best, newest and fanciest graphing software on the planet, the best graphs still need to be presented properly. Even the best graphs unfortunately don't speak for themselves. And Data Storytelling is a bit of a confusing term, we know. However, Kate is a data analyst (and has worked as one for many, many years) so understand exactly how we can use a three-stage structure to bring our data to life; to encourage emotional investment, to control what our audience is looking at, and what they understand. Add in Thomas' expert advice about how to leverage some PowerPoint hacks to make that happen and today you're listening to the ultimate guide on bringing your data presentation to life! No more presenting your data without recommendation or without conveying the context that you deeply understand. Let's get clear on the story your data tells, let's get it smoothly visualised and take your next presentation from adequate to awesome!

He's famous for his man-bun, talks on marketing and 'the millennial rant'. Anyone who listens to enough content in the world of presentations ought not to be a stranger to this guy's work. Kate and Thomas always carefully plan out questions for each guest, and the same happened here. But when we jumped on the call, Scott began outlining how he has recently shifted some of his thinking about his own style and techniques and the conversation flowed away from the prepared questions. Turns out when you mix a Canadian and two Australians, good things can happen and conversation flows super easily. And this recording not only went longer than usual and had plenty of laughs mixed in with the gold, but it was deep, raw and vulnerable. And dang can Scott tell a brilliant story! About Our Guest Scott Stratten is the President of UnMarketing. He has written five best-selling business books and was formerly a music industry marketer, National Sales Training Manager, and a College Professor.

It's a big moment for episode seventy-three of The Presentation Boss Podcast. When Kate and Thomas first planned out the speech breakdown format, this was the first talk Thomas added to the list. Sir Ken Robinson's famous TED Talk was only the sixth ever uploaded to the TED website and has since become the single most-watched TED Talk of all time. And, in so many ways it is brilliant and worthy of being so dang popular. Sadly, Sir Ken Robinson passed away in August 2020. And while Presentation Boss hesitated to tackle such a massive speech, to honour his passing, in this episode we break down this iconic talk. It is a masterclass in storytelling and humour to deliver a heavily-relatable message. Oddly, in a few ways, this speech is an example of how breaking the usual rules in the right way can have such a massive impact. And while it is a snapshot of a time before the smartphone and the popularity of TED Talks, join us to celebrate this fantastic example of what speaking can be! Show your support for this episode on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationboss What You'll Learn • Why is can be powerful to acknowledge previous speakers from a conference • The use of thinking noises such as 'um' • How careful crafting of stories keeps them fast and easy to understand • A tactic for laughing at your own jokes and how it gives permission to your audience • Using humour, so the audience is listening intently when a key message is delivered • Benefits of standing in a single place and delivering outstanding content over showmanship • Exactly why this is the most watched TED Talk of all time (hint: because it's relatable) Mentioned In The Show • Sir Ken Robinson | "Do schools kill creativity" Resources and Links • Email us: podcast@presentationboss.com.au • The Presentation Boss Podcast: https://presentationboss.com.au/podcast/ • Kate on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-norris/ • Thomas on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-krafft/ • Presentation Boss on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/presentationboss/ • Presentation Boss on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/presentation-boss • Show your support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationboss…

Kate and Thomas discuss these five options, their perks, their drawbacks and of course, which they each recommend!
