People’s #1 Fear: Presenting
People’s #2 Fear: Boring Presenters
We all know that one of the greatest fears people
have is giving presentations. But I’m willing to bet
that most people almost equally dread having to sit
through long & boring presentations.
Admit it, you LOATHE it when your boss babbles away
for an hour every Monday morning, or when you have
to sit through a full day of mind numbing lectures.
So how do they do it? What are their ‘secrets’?
Secret #1 They Talk To Themselves!
Have you ever had conversations with people
that ignore anything you have to say, and just
ramble on about themselves? Well, boring
presenters love doing that.
They talk about THEMSELVES, about THEIR products,
about THEIR strengths, about THEIR services, about THEIR
needs.
They are so caught up in themselves that they forget
about their audiences’ interests, needs and problems.
The effect it has…their audiences just don’t care!
Secret #2 They Think Expressing Passion is a Weakness!
Why do boring presenters speak with a monotone
voice? Do they really intend to put you to sleep?
Of course not. Boring presenters believe that
business is serious and has no room for passion.
They see logic and information as their source to
persuade and empower their team or customers.
To be continued...
P.S. If you know anyone who falls into the category of
being “infected” with boring presenter syndromes,

Get excited,
