Presentation Skills and Public Speaking for Introverts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWho cares if you\u2019re not a natural storyteller? You can craft your stories beforehand, practice them, and share them\u2014for the brief moment that the spotlight is on you,\u201d says\u00a0Susan Cain<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on her website\u00a0Quiet Revolution. Cain\u2019s TEDTalk,\u00a0\u201cThe power of introverts,\u201d<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has been viewed more than 14,000,000 times.\u00a0Although an extroverted person might enjoy being the center of attention, making a good presentation or speech isn\u2019t about you, it\u2019s about your\u00a0message. I\u2019m sharing this insightful information from fellow Loyola University of Chicago Adjunct Professor Marianna Swallow. Marianna is a Chicago-based workshop leader and coach specializing in Business & Professional Speaking.<\/p>\n

From Marianna:<\/p>\n

Often, when I\u2019m leading a presentation skills workshop, or coaching an individual, I often get a caveat or pushback before we start:<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cI\u2019m not an actor; I\u2019m not going to get all loud when I have to do this.\u201d<\/li>\n
\u201cI\u2019m an introvert. You can\u2019t expect me to suddenly get excited about this.\u201d<\/li>\n
\u201cI\u2019m more quiet. I\u2019m not comfortable getting up in front of people and making everyone pay attention to me. I\u2019m just not like that.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To which I say:\u00a0Agreed!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
One of the worst ways to teach someone who doesn\u2019t want to be loud and extroverted is to tell them to be loud and extroverted. I recall an author telling me about media coaching he was given before a book tour. The coach yelled directions at him: \u201cStand up straighter! Now look over here! Speak louder! Stop saying \u2018um\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m happy to say I do not work that way. I meet you where you are. And I draw on your natural strengths, and the things you love to do, to support you in being more effective at the front of the room.<\/p>\n
Not all great speakers are loud extroverts. It\u2019s just that those are the ones that society pays the most attention to and rewards with money and fame.\u00a0Oprah Winfrey<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Todrick Hall<\/strong><\/a>, or\u00a0JoJo<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0– I\u2019ll happily watch any of them. (Eh, maybe not JoJo. I\u2019m not 12.) But I\u2019ll also watch\u00a0Barack Obama<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0John Mulaney<\/strong><\/a>, and\u00a0Albus Dumbledore<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a misconception that all introverts are \u201cshy,\u201d \u201cnot talkative,\u201d or \u201cnot social.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not true.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
An introvert derives energy from being alone and thinking or processing.<\/p>\n
An extrovert draws energy from being around and engaging with other people.<\/p>\n
Neither description – nor label – determines if one is a strong, effective public speaker. Some of the worst presenters I worked with were major extroverts who were loud and gregarious – but never thought about the audience. I would describe these folks as \u201cobnoxious.\u201d<\/p>\n
John Mulaney is very controlled, as is Albus Dumbledore. Barack Obama is commanding, even though he is not overly gregarious. One of my clients described Obama as having a \u201cstatesman-like presence.\u201d<\/p>\n
So, if you struggle with running the meeting, presenting in front of the C-level, or just presentations in general,\u00a0hit me up<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to discuss a workshop.<\/p>\n
Presentations should feel easi(er) and be enjoyable – not a source of stress. And yes, even the most chill among us can do it in a way that feels comfortable.<\/p>\n
