John Homewood’s Top Ten Tips in Speaking and Presenting:

1. Focus on Giving in your presentation! Focus on adding value to the listeners lives in a real way.  What creates fear and anxiety within us is when we focus is on ourselves and our needs.  Let your whole attention be with what you are giving to your audience, rather than on yourself.  It’s great to be a giver!!  This simple shift in focus will empower you greatly.

2. Memorize a great quote or surprising statistic to open with.  This breaks the ice for you as well as gaining the audience’s interest.

3.  Watch diet. To help with reducing nerves, try taking all processed food and refined sugars out of your diet 48 hours before giving a presentation – works like magic!

4. Taking Spirulina every day to start your day will greatly diminish your anxiety and fear! Spirulina is a great nerve tonic!  It has a unique, strong, salty taste, (which some find unpleasant), it is therefore best mixed with your favorite smoothie or fresh juice. Start with 1/2 a teaspoon and gradually build up to 1-2 teaspoons of Spirulina powder daily.  It’s amazing how much calmer and focused you become.

5. The ‘pause’ is one of the most powerful ingredients in public speaking and presenting.  Intellegently inserted spaces in your presentation adds tremendous power to your message. A 2 – 5 second pause correctly used can enhance the power and effectiveness of your message.

6. Smile!  A smile lightens up any presentation, and makes you feel good too!

7. Breathe!!  Before you start a presentation take a moment to slow and deepen your breathing.  Breathe from your stomach, not from your upper chest!  This will slow your heart rate, and diminish the fight & flight response, allowing you to give a more intelligent and relaxed presentation.

8. Use the Power of Visualization. Visualize the end result you desire; hear the applause in your imagination, and see people congratulating you on a good, moving presentation.  You will be amazed with the results!

9. Speak from your heart; people are quickly bored by too much mind stuff. Always include one or two short, appropriate personal stories.  People love personal experience.

10. Close with a strong call to action; Ask for some immediate positive action from the audience.
