Around the world, members of the GET MOMENTUM Leadership Academy tuned in to this month's Master Class titled:
"Present Like a Pro"
As you can see in this short introduction video (scroll to the bottom HERE), there are two VERY specific goals for this month's theme:
- Practice identifying key points in EVERY presentation.
- Utilize ALL the resources you have access to.
The Master Class is a 45-minute executive summary of the GET MOMENTUM Course Work:
Immediately after the program, I heard from THREE members about the impact and importance of this month's Master Class:
"I get it now, everything is a presentation."
"I learned that I can present the same thing in different ways to different people. Easier."
"I need to video record myself presenting. Not to show anyone else or publish, but to watch and study myself."
(We do have ONE big announcement, read all the way to the bottom to find out!)
Now, some of you may be thinking, "How is 'presenting' a leadership skill?" Think about what you could do, if you were more effective at bringing your ideas to the people you hope use them the most. You're presenting all the time, you are!
+ On a stage in front of dozens
+ In a conference room of just a few
+ Across the table from your family
+ On the phone with a friend, client or vendor
Over the course of just one month, you'll learn to "win over" the people you're speaking with. You'll practice organizing your main points that are backed up with and by research, as well as have some call-to-action. Finally, you'll practice lining up your message with the facts with the stories with the suggestions that make it easier for people to believe: "Your ideas matter."
