PETER GOOLEYCERTIFIED COACHALZHEIMER’S COMMUNICATION CARE PARTNERS

Peter has his sights set on making a real difference in the lives of people who care for people living with Alzheimer’s or other Dementia. In 2012 he spent 6 months working in an aged care facility as an Activities Officer, and realised that there were problems that his coaching skills could resolve.

What kind of presenting do you do at work?

The majority of my presentations are of a 1-hour duration in an informal setting similar in the style of teaching/workshop. I address people from all walks of life, from business organisations to family Care Givers on Alzheimer’s and dementia issues. Prior to becoming an Alzheimer’s coach, I served on several boards and committees where it was necessary for me to present information or ideas to various interest groups.

What prompted you to attend Michelle's Influential Presentation Skills program?

I finally found a core purpose that truly resonated with me. I became completely focused on my passionate need to assist in the process of communication between the carers and the person living with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. I am so compelled to make a difference to people and to move people at all levels of dementia care into action.

How did Michelle's program change your attitude to presenting in business?

Reading through Michelle’s book recently, it reminded me of the golden lesson. It’s a precious thing - the essence of presenting. That essence is: “it’s not about me, it’s about the audience”. I have a message to deliver that is so important, and I believe with a passion. It is imperative that I put a structure in place that will enable me to give a presentation that people actually listen to rather than just hear my voice. We all have conversations going on in our heads that filter how we listen and how we process what we are experiencing. Thanks to Michelle’s reminder and these tools, I can start to better relate to my audience to give them greater opportunities to listen to what I am putting forth as a working hypothesis, to be questioned and eventually seen as something worth putting in practice or at the very least given a committed and energetic go.

In general, what positive outcomes have you achieved from improving your presentation skills?

Personally, I am far more comfortable and confident that I can deliver a presentation that the majority of the audience will feel meets their personal needs in a way that is informative and will call them into action. I feel I am able to speak, whether one-on-one or in a group, with more ease. I really got that ‘It’s not about me, it’s about the audience’ and has become my personal mantra that I am sharing with others in my network.

SUCCESS STORIES!

www.michellebowden.com.au How to Present Magazine JUNE 2013 5

In what specific ways have your presentation skills improved since completing Michelle's training? I prepare much more thoroughly. That takes care of the presentation and allows me to be ready, with backup, should something fail to work. It gives me the ability to stay on track during my presentations. So overall I’m feeling a lot more confident about presenting to groups. It’s a great feeling.

What were your top three take aways from Michelle's program?

Without doubt I would say:

1. The Five steps in Preparing a Presentation

2. It’s not about me, it’s about the Audience

3. Think Do Feel and 4mat models

SUCCESS STORIES! (CONT.)

POWERPOINT IS IT EVIL?BY MICHELLE BOWDENMany people attending my presentation skills training programs admit to me in a whisper during a break: ‘I heard you hate PowerPoint?’ Actually I did write a book called Help Me! Your PowerPoint is Killing Me! I do think the time has come to clear up this popular misconception and explain my thinking by exposing you to some work by one of the most outspoken commentators of PowerPoint.

PowerPoint is a legitimate business tool, and can add great value to a presentation. The thing is, we need to use it properly - not bombard our audience’s and burn their retinas with ugly fonts and too many words.

I’m a fan of Edward R Tufte. He is a professor emeritus of political science, computer science and statistics, and graphic design at Yale. This extract is taken directly from an article published in the September 2003 issue of Wired. The article is called PowerPoint Is Evil. Power Corrupts. PowerPoint Corrupts Absolutely.

“Presentation largely stand and fall on the quality, relevance, and integrity of the content. If your numbers are boring, then you’ve got the wrong numbers. If your words or images are not

on point, making them dance in colour won’t make them relevant.

Audience boredom is usually a content failure, not a decoration failure.

At a minimum, a presentation format should do no harm. Yet the PowerPoint style routinely disrupts, dominates, and trivialises content.

Thus, PowerPoint presentations too often resemble a school play – very loud, very slow, and very simple.

The practical conclusions are clear. PowerPoint is a competent slide manager and projector.

But rather than supplementing a presentation it has become a substitute for it. Such misuse ignores the most important rule of speaking: Respect your audience”.

QUESTIONS YOU MUST ANSWER TO KEEP YOUR AUDIENCE ENGAGEDBY MICHELLE BOWDEN

Presenting at work? Here are some questions that your audience is asking of you when you present to them. You should be sure to address them in your presentations to ensure your audience members remain engaged throughout:

1. What does this presenter know about me? Your role as the presenter is to reflect that you understand your audience, their thoughts, feelings and attitudes.

2. What can they tell me that I don’t already know? Ensure that it’s clear you are not just telling them something they have heard before or already know in an obvious way. If you are talking about something they already know be sure to spin it a new way to give them a new perspective.

3. What’s in it for me to listen? People are motivated by the carrot and the stick. Ensure you explain why your audience should listen to you talk about this right here and right now.

4. Why is this relevant to me? Be sure to manage the objections that typically arise in a presentation such as ‘I already know this”, “you don’t understand”, “I’m too busy”, or “this is not a priority for me right now”.

5. How much does this presenter care about my needs? Are we in rapport? Zig Ziglar famously said: “They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”. Show your audience you care about them and their needs. You do this through your eye

contact, voice, body language, word selection and intention.

6. How credible is the presenter? Are they a subject matter expert? Establish your credibility as a subject matter expert. Stories and examples are a good way to do this.

7. What should I do with this information? Sadly only 28% of audience members went back to their desk after the most recent workplace presentation and did anything with the information they heard and saw. 72% of people did absolutely nothing! Make sure this doesn’t happen when you present. Be clear and obvious about what the audience should do differently after hearing your message.

www.michellebowden.com.au How to Present Magazine JUNE 2013 7

QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ANSWER TO KEEP YOUR AUDIENCE ENGAGED (CONT.)

8. What happens if I do nothing after hearing this message? If you prefer the idea of pull persuasion (bringing your audience with you) to push persuasion (pushing them to adopt your stance), it’s critical that people feel they have been given a choice in their behaviour. Explain clearly the negative and positive consequences of not doing, or doing, what you suggest.

9. What is the key message I should remember and repeat to others?  The job of a presenter is to be ‘worthy of remark’ – in other words, to be ‘remarkable’. This means that in a new context – outside of your business presentation, audience members are compelled to repeat something you did or said. Christine Anu (famous Australian

performer) talks about “which way” – it’s an indigenous way of saying “G’day! How are you today?” She asks her audience to say it to each other. And she repeats it numerous times throughout her completely fantastic keynote presentation. There’s not a soul in the room who wouldn’t then repeat that message fondly to their family and friends. “Which way?”

Answer these questions and enjoy presenting to a group of engaged individuals who are more likely to change their thinking or behaviour for the better as a result of your presentation. Happy Presenting!

TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE!BY JUSTIN TAMSETT

In a world where on many days of the week we can feel out of control, it is important to remember everything we do is a choice. You choose to feel overwhelmed, but more importantly you choose to take on too much. The key to remain less stressed and in control is to learn to say no.

For years in business and in life, I said yes to everything. And then I would be the one working at midnight or on the weekends; or I was the one helping mates move house.

I am not sure why I did it, maybe because I did not want to disappoint. The end result was that I was the one who suffered. I felt my life was out of control.

To help stay in control I have learnt to say ‘No’ and also how to use my diary properly. I still feel guilty when I say ‘No’ to people or opportunities – I think I might have that feeling for the rest of my life – at least now I don’t worry about, ‘What if I had said “yes”?’

Most importantly, I am now in control in work and life. I feel that I am determining my destiny

as opposed to others leading me. I know where I want to go to, so all my choices relate to that destination.

And when I do say ‘yes’ I consult my diary. I work out immediately when I can do it and put it in my diary. If you want to be successful in business and remain healthy, you must always be in control.

What could you do today to take back some control?

Justin Tamsett is an author, speaker and 4th generation entrepreneur as well as an innovator, comfort zone challenger and thought leader. His generosity and desire to help all people achieve the best they can is evident in his own approach to life and business, and his enthusiasm for his work, his life and work-life balance. He combines his passion for small business with a passion for rugby.

Do you sometimes feel like you are in a rut? Perhaps you are good at your job, but you don’t love it or maybe you’re successful, but you just don’t feel satisfied. The thing is, there is a big difference between doing what you’re good at and doing what you love.  The sweet spot is when you get to do both. This week, ask yourself, ‘What do I love doing?’ and then make sure you find some time to do it… It doesn't have to be all day, everyday. Even spending just one hour doing something you are passionate about, will refresh, energise and invigorate your life.

Domonique Bertolucci, happiness expert and best-selling author, is the closely guarded secret behind some of the country’s most successful people. People come to Domonique because they have everything they have dreamed of but aren’t happy; are worried they will have to give up their dream because it’s not working; are too scared to dream or are simply burnt out. Domonique takes them on a journey of personal discovery that’s packed with laughter and tears, and helps them to identify and get the things that matter most in their life. www.domoniquebertolucci.com

MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE IN DEALING WITH CONFLICT

Let me say at the start that I don’t know any perfect people. We can all act in very human ways when frustrated with others. But having said that, some of us act in more human ways than others! In my years of counseling people over their relationships, here are some mistakes I commonly see people make when dealing with conflict.

Attacking the person, not the problem. Oh dear! We have all done this one, using some great labels that capture nicely how we are feeling about the other person. The words, selfish, rude, and controlling, are the more repeatable of the colourful adjectives that are used. We are, of course, better to put effort into finding solutions rather than allocating blame. If there is any constructive feedback, here we restrict this to the speak about the specific behaviour that concerns us or the behaviour we would like to see. Choosing a bad time and place. I have learned over the years that trying to have a serious discussion with my wife, Christy, when she is preparing a meal is definitely not a good time and place. But I also know couples who think that when they or the other person is in a foul mood, tired, or intoxicated, that this is also a great time. Sometimes, we have to allow ourselves or the other person time to settle (or sober up) before we have that conversation. 

Not being alert to how you are coming across. Most of what we communicate is through our body language and tone. So, here we need to be well-aware of the messages we are sending with our demeanour. As well as some self-awareness, we also need some self-control, so we can moderate the way we are communicating when needed. If we are not being alert to how we are coming across, we can inadvertently communicate disrespect and hostility. Believing it is just other people who need to change. Yes, we have all believed this at times. And sometimes this is true. But my experience has been that the great majority of the time there are actions both people can take to help the situation. Yes, it might mostly be the other person. But if you can do your part, this often puts other people in a better place to do their part as well.

MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE IN DEALING WITH CONFLICT (CONT.)

Getting stuck in one way of dealing with conflict. To be honest, there is a time to try to get your own way, such as when you have to make an unpopular decision and you have the power and respect of others to do so. There is also a time to be flexible and find a solution acceptable to all. There are also times to simply give in when the issue is far more important to the other party. Problems arise when one approach is overused or it is not a good fit for the situation. So, here we need to know which approach is going to be the best fit for the situation and be flexible enough to try something different. The problem is defined in win-lose terms. Examples of this include times when we label others as the problem, assume others are intentionally trying to be rude or disrespectful, or we debate whose opinion is correct.

Rather than labeling others as the problem, we are better to find a face-saving definition of the problem, such as a communication breakdown, both being under stress, or one person or both people being human.

Rather than assuming the worst of people, you might instead assume the best or ask them to help you understand why they behaved as they did. When faced with two interpretations of a person’s behaviour – one that they acted maliciously and another less-sinister explanation, the kinder explanation will often be the correct one.

Rather than trying to win by convincing people your opinion is the correct one, we can simply choose to agree to disagree. Though you may have to agree on the way ahead, even though you have different opinions. Quickly deciding on a solution and failing to consider other options. Being quite decisive,

practical, and knowing my own mind, I can quickly generate a solution to most difficulties. Unfortunately, my solution is not always seen as a good solution by my family. So, here I, and perhaps you, need to be more open to solutions generated by others and creative enough to suggest other options. One person leaves it up to the other to come up with a solution. Here I am not talking about where you trust the other person and you will support their decision. But more where you have absolved yourself of responsibility for finding a solution, and are still prepared to criticise the solutions they generate. Although it can be frustrating looking for solutions and we are allowed to give ourselves a break from the conversation, we still need to be a partner in the process. 

Of course, all of the above are simply bad habits. Yes, they may have been well-learned from our upbringing – thank goodness we can blame our parents for something!. But they are also habits that have been well-practised by us over the years.  To break bad habits requires motivation to change and consciously interrupting problem patterns over time. From time-to-time I run workshops on Conflict Resolution Made Easy. Details can be found on my website. Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.– Benjamin Franklin

MICHAEL NEAYLONINTERNATIONAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Michael Neaylon is a speaker, author, and consultant specialising in sales, marketing, and personal branding for service professionals who want increased business results working with more of their ideal clients.

Michael is also the National President of the National Speakers Association of Australia.

Find out more about Michael and his work at http://mcme.com.au/michael-neaylon.html

How lucky are we that Michael shares his top tips for presenting in business with us today....

Research your audience to know who you're talking to and what they'll benefit from most in your presentation.

If you're unfamiliar with the environment, find out as much about it as you can before you arrive.

 Be crystal clear on what you want to achieve

with your meeting or presentation; is it more sales, a definite next step you want them to take or an idea that will excite, educate or inspire your audience right now?

Ask yourself 'what do I want my audience to think, feel or do?' for even more clarity of purpose and intention.

Every presentation is a personal branding opportunity. Remember you're on show from the moment they set eyes on you to the follow up email. 

Never use bullet points. Ever. 

Most people in your meeting or audience want you to be outstanding; that's both a challenge and a relief. Own both.

Even the most statistically-driven report can have a healthy dose of humour. 

Drink water, avoid mouth drying coffee and tea, and remind yourself to breathe, both before and during the presentation. 

Never be afraid to hand your audience a report at the beginning of a meeting, fearing they'll focus on that and not you. Giving it to them upfront shows command and confidence.
