#173 | Creating Confidence At Work With Spencer Waldron
October 22, 2024
Presentations can feel overwhelming, especially with important end-of-year reviews and budget discussions ahead. But don’t worry! Spencer Waldron shared some practical tips to help you shine in those meetings and impress your boss.
We explored the “feel, think, act” framework, which breaks down your approach into simple steps. Before any presentation, consider how you want your audience to feel, what you want them to think, and how you want them to act afterward. This mindset helps set a clear direction and keeps your presentation focused and intentional.
Spencer also shared the great idea of having a North Star message—the one key idea you want your audience to remember. This acts as an anchor, helping you stay on track and avoid unnecessary details. And, of course, practice is essential! There’s no shortcuts, rehearsing not only polishes your delivery but also boosts your confidence, making your presentation smoother and more engaging.
Incorporating interactive tools like Miro or Prezi with Zoom or Teams can help with virtual presentations, adding a dynamic touch to the usual slide decks. So, as you gear up for your next big presentation, remember: focus on feel-think-act, stick to your core message, and practice, practice, practice!
