Case study – with existing concern

A CEO had exactly 3-minutes to present 21 slides in an ‘investor pitch’ meeting. He was concerned he’d sound nervous and would need to speed through his material.

I said, “Easy… do these 2 simple things”:

  • Slow down the first word of each phrase.
    When you do this, you unconsciously lower your pitch. A lower pitch conveys confidence (rather than a high pitch which conveys nerves).
  • Double the space between sentences.
    When you do this, you continually have time to regroup your thoughts and catch your breath.  This means you mitigate getting tongue-tied and speaking in circles, and instead ultimately get through more material, in less time, with a more comfortable/confident feel. Doubling the space between sentences also gives listeners more time to absorb what you say and keeps your breaths lower. All wins.

2 simple techniques and his two concerns were no longer a concern. I give ‘voice adjustments’ like this every day.

 

 

Case Study – Assessment

A corporate presenter felt she did fine. “No one says anything bad about my speaking.” I reviewed her presentations and offered 3 ‘voice adjustments’. A later email included, “OMG, that was the best thing! I had no idea what I was doing wrong and how the fixes made a big difference!”

Another email said, “I’m winning twice as much now!”

I give ‘voice adjustments’ like this every day!

Usually, a few straightforward changes turn a sub-optimal delivery into one that totally resonates with your audience.
