FILWP Presenting Tips

HERE ARE SOME TOP FILWP PRESENTING TIPS

I originally created #FILWP because I knew what was like to be so anxious and not have any idea how to structure, prepare or deliver presentations.  (Read my story here.) 

Despite it being such a common problem for so many people I could not find a comprehensive source of useful tips to help improve the way you present anywhere.  I did not find it useful to be told to ‘just relax’; if I knew how to do that, I’d not have been asking for help in the first place.

Over the last 20 years or so I’ve attended and facilitated over 300 events and I’ve learnt a lot about what does and doesn’t work, and here it is.

FINDING YOUR OWN VOICE AND YOUR OWN WAY

We all have different styles of presenting and I do not necessarily know you, your style, values, environment or audience;  what I do know is that these tips consistently work for me and the many people who I’ve shared them with.

They are really easy to implement and have such great and positive impact that I’d love for you to start using them in your very next presentation; remember that successful people implement quickly.  Pick one and then once you’ve got that nailed, pick another one; trying to implement too many at the same time will likely leave you overwhelmed and defeat the purpose.  

As you get more confident you will start finding your own voice and your own way and that’s when things become even more fun – when you make stuff up along the way!  I hope that this will happen sooner rather than later; in the meantime feel free to ‘borrow’ my way of doing things – most of which I learnt from others anyway!

How 3 days changed 62 years

How 3 days changed 62 years

Dear Bennie,

I just had to tell you what the #FILWP course meant to me.

EMBARRASSED AND HUMILIATED FOR YEARS

Finally I could put to rest the subconscious feeling that I was going to be embarrassed and humiliated whenever I was in a situation where I was “out the front” or “put in the spotlight”.  I would avoid any situation where I could be made to stand in front of people, whether it be at school, work, social situations etc. I felt very shy and awkward and would always be at the back of the group or looking somewhere else so I couldn’t be singled out.

I had waited a long time for your course and knew it was where I needed to go to overcome these feelings and shine in my own light.

I ALREADY KNOW ENOUGH, NOW!

I realized during #FILWP how much experience I have and how I have not had enough confidence to do all of it. Yep, I have facilitated, run webinars, sold into courses like The Bali Gathering, spoke in front of audiences from 20 to 300, but what I put myself through to do that was devastating, and of course I never thought I was any good, no matter what people told me. I certainly didn’t love and accept myself after any of these performances, because really that is all it was, a performance, the real me wasn’t on that stage.

I thought that was what I needed to do and agonized and vomited my way to the stage. Then when it was finally over and I could have time to myself, I cried all the way home in embarrassment and humiliation.  Chastising myself for the poor job I had done.   The times, because of my fears I have totally stuffed up talks to people because of the overwhelming feeling of being embarrassed and humiliated. I finally can realise just how much I have to offer the world and not be worried whether they like it or not.

AFTER 62 YEARS, I FINALLY KNOW THAT I CAN DO THIS

I am struggling to explain the enormity of what I learnt through the weekend. I finally felt I could do this. I always wanted to speak from the heart and show my enthusiasm for what I believe is wonderful in the world. Now, thanks to you for creating this course I feel I can do this. I got a touch of that at the weekend.

The course was so gentle in helping us to realise our fears and of course our “terror barrier” when I heard those words I knew, phew, because of my trust in you,  I can take a deep breath I am in the right place.  It was amazing how I could feel the feelings that seemed so huge and so insurmountable and still love and accept myself anyway.  I didn’t ever know this could be fixed.

I have waited 62 years to finally put this to bed and from the bottom of my heart I can’t thank you enough.

A PROFOUND STRESS RELEASE

The stress release sessions I had never experienced before but the amazing feeling I woke up with each morning and the peace with which I went to sleep was amazing and mind-boggling, I would lie in bed just enjoying the feeling of completeness. I didn’t know trauma was held in the body but now I realise it and can do something about it.

MY HEART IS FULL AND I’M READY

My heart is so full with gratitude that I am finding it hard to put into words how amazing #FILWP was for me. Certainly a life changer that’s for sure. Now as you say practice practice  practice.  What a magician you are for creating such a wonderful course/workshop that is so needed in every area of people’s lives today. I don’t think I know anyone who couldn’t benefit in so many areas of their life by doing Falling In Love with Presenting. After all how many times a day do we present ourselves to the world  in so many situations.

I know I am going to present to the world in an entirely different light.

Much love
Elly
