Analyzing Your Presentation Situation
(“Surveying Your Season”)

★ BUILDING YOUR SCOUTING REPORT: What’s your presentation’s Grand Goal? How can you use your physical environment to your advantage? How do you compare to your competitors? Scout key aspects of your speaking situation and shape your Grand Strategy.

★ ASSESSING YOUR AUDIENCE: Who’s in your crowd, and why? We’ll unveil your Grand Goal for every audience you face, review the key traits all audiences share, and profile the Prime Prospects watching your next pitch, so you can convert them into loyal fans.

★ THE MUSCLE MYTH: Think speaking is about delivering facts? Think again. Learn the personality trait you must display to gain your audience’s support, and how to deliver it.

Creating Your Presentation Content
(“Building Your Playbook”)

★ CREATING YOUR CORE CAUSE: Show your audience you’re more about more than money by painting your future vision in one phrase and inviting them into it.

★ STAKING YOUR CORE CLAIM: How do you achieve your Core Cause? Share your Core Claim, the key belief that transforms you into a thought leader, and leads your audience right back to you.

★ ASKING QUESTIONS: Learn how asking the right questions at each stage of your speech helps you warm up your crowd, identify prospects, share your speaking burden and ensure your content is on target.

★ TELLING STORIES: Wrap your key content in MVP-worthy visions, fables, success stories, and other story formats that are as much fun to tell as they are to hear.

★ DELIVERING FACTS AND STATS: Choose your best facts and sprinkle them into your speech strategically, so they’re heard, understood, appreciated and remembered.
