Don’t be a Presentation People Pleaser with Chris Marr
Chris Marr is a client communication expert and the founder of The Authoritative Coach. When we are delivering presentations and pitches Chris says Don’t be a presentation people pleaser.
As a coach Chris tells his clients don’t be a presentation people pleaser – instead to challenge those they are working with. The same applies to your presentation. Don’t make it a people pleaser make it a people challenger. Your audience will get so much more from it if you take that approach.
Chris’s top tip: What is your first question going to be when you present? – one that will both engage and challenge your audience from the start.
We talk about why it’s a good idea to bring up early a potential resistance or objection, why as a presenter you need to be respected before you are liked and why you need to adapt your presentation for your audience. So many presenters use the same presentation for every audience.
Chris has found that as a coach people want to be challenged and as a presenter you need to challenge your audience.
Chris shares his four step approach to presentations and speaking to audiences: Question : Story : Result : Challenge
