How to present yourself and your company during a big meeting

Think about your audience. Knowing who you’re talking to#nbsp;will allow you to#nbsp;find right words and show that you respect and admire your audience. Another thing is#nbsp;be#nbsp;brave and if#nbsp;you persuade somebody to#nbsp;do#nbsp;something less is#nbsp;more. So, in#nbsp;many cases to#nbsp;have a#nbsp;short and clear statement why you are a#nbsp;good partner and why it#nbsp;is#nbsp;advantageous to#nbsp;deal with you.

Present and describe things clearly, people need to#nbsp;understand you otherwise you will fail to#nbsp;persuade them.

Anger is#nbsp;important to#nbsp;a#nbsp;healthy person. If#nbsp;you don’t feel anger, you won’t react strongly to#nbsp;injustice and less likely you doa right thing. Anger can be#nbsp;a#nbsp;virtue, but under control. People who are constantly angry create a#nbsp;vice.

The way how audience perceive you affects the way they trust someone who perceived experienced and have clear understanding of#nbsp;what he/she is#nbsp;talking about. So, focus yourself on#nbsp;presenting yourself positively.

Knowledge of#nbsp;the topic is#nbsp;the second key element. So, spend time on#nbsp;learning all the details and present the material in#nbsp;a simple and clear sequence, so#nbsp;your audience understands the logic. Think about the emotion you want to#nbsp;express and positiveness of#nbsp;the speech. For instance, when you speak about your product or#nbsp;about your company#nbsp;— show your passion, but be#nbsp;cautious depending on#nbsp;which audience you speak to#nbsp;— young people tend to#nbsp;love emotional speech, but more elderly audience respond better on#nbsp;balanced statements and more dignified language.

There are two interesting approaches how to#nbsp;present information to#nbsp;your audience#nbsp;— one of#nbsp;them is#nbsp;making it#nbsp;explicitly, when you provide them with the logically connected facts and another one is#nbsp;implicitly by#nbsp;giving examples.

The way how you speak and present can impact the result of#nbsp;your speech. People tend to#nbsp;pay more attention to#nbsp;how you speak rather than to#nbsp;a#nbsp;content of#nbsp;your speech. So, your main aim is#nbsp;to#nbsp;speak clearly and naturally, but avoid using fancy language to#nbsp;much as#nbsp;humans can loose the thread. Remember that natural speech is#nbsp;persuasive.

I#nbsp;also want to#nbsp;leave a#nbsp;link to a#nbsp;story about TED talks and encourage you to#nbsp;read about its principles including 18 minutes speech limit.
