Why enjoying presenting is convincing
Great presentations are not born out of perfection
Some presentations are enjoyable to follow. Others are exhausting despite having good content. Many people wonder why this is the case.
In my training work, I see time and time again that it is rarely the content that matters. Much more often, it is the presence of the person presenting.
People who enjoy presenting appear more present and have a much stronger impact on their audience.
People who enjoy presenting appear more present and have a much stronger impact on their audience. Not because they do everything perfectly or are particularly extroverted, but because the listeners perceive their relationship to the topic.
This palpable joy is contagious. It creates contact, holds attention, and enables the audience to follow along mentally. Presentations are thus experienced less as a chore and more as a joint exploration of a topic.
Presence does not come from staging or technology. It develops when inner attitude, body language, and content are in harmony. This is exactly where my work comes in: helping people find their own presence in a way that feels right and has an impact.
