Persuasive Presentations #3

Flaws.

Scars.

Imperfections.

The tethers of our human condition.

Having them is not a choice; the willingness to share them is.

One of the most common hiding places is behind a polished persona.

As you prepare for your next meeting or presentation, resist the temptation to be anything other than yourself. Who your audience experiences “on stage” should be the same person they experience “off stage”.

Having the courage to be real strengthens your ability to communicate with power.

Perfection is impenetrable. Authenticity is inviting.

Breathe out that fear you are holding in...

Aim to impact; not impress.
