Let the Audience Love You!

PresentationYou’re giving a presentation. Looking out into a sea of faces while standing on a stage can be one of the most intimidating experiences of your career. It doesn’t matter if it’s a group of 15 people in a board room or an auditorium filled with hundreds of people — giving the perfect presentation is never easy.

But remember this. In every case, the audience desperately wants you to succeed on stage. In fact, they’re actually afraid for you and rooting for you to be awesome. If you’ve ever attended a session during which the speaker totally flopped, you know that it’s intensely uncomfortable to watch someone tank on stage. So the more it looks like you’re confident and having fun up there — no matter what is going on in terms of tech glitches, getting stuck on your words, forgetting something, or whatever else it may be — the happier and more satisfied your audience will be with your presentation. Remember the old adage: Fake it til you make it! Your audience has no idea what you plan to say, so if you mess up, they probably won’t know you messed up. Be confident, and let them love you.
