NHSN Event - Doug Staneart on 9/15/08 at DePaul University

 

"Public Speaking"

How to Speak Confidently in Pressure Situations

 

Right or wrong, people form a perception about how competent you are by how you present yourself when you stand and speak. They form perceptions about the company you represent. In fact, public speaking is an easy way to set yourself apart from your competition, because when you stand up and say what you want to say, the way that you want to say it, you are doing what 95% of the people in the audience wish they could do.

 

Please join us as the NHSN welcomes back Doug Staneart, President and CEO of the Leaders Institute. Doug has been a speaker and trainer for over 20 years specializing in public speaking, sales training, and team building. Doug is also an author of the books 28 Ways to Influence People and Fearless Presentations. His current book, Give me an "O," a Standing "O." will be released later this year.

 

He has accumulated over 1,700 hours of classroom coaching and training. His experience with these other programs makes him a well rounded instructor. Over 85% of Doug's class participants say that his training exceeded their expectations.

 

Doug's clients rave about his enthusiasm and his ability to "sneak up" on his audience and teach them while they're having fun.

 

You will learn:

· Tips for reducing nervousness

· Prepare presentations faster and easier than ever before

· Speak with impact and enthusiasm

 

As always, bring plenty of business cards

Ali’s habits in your sales career

Think about how you might be able to model Ali’s habits in your sales career:

1. He got ready to win. He trained to be a champion, not just win the fight.
2. He simulated the fight environment for months before the fight. He had sparring partners that pushed him to the limit. Many later became his opponents in the ring.
3. He had a victory strategy that he prepared and practiced every day.
4. He was healthy. He ate right and exercised right. Never a weight lifter, he just got in fight shape. Fight ready.
5. He psyched himself up every day. Winning starts with your mental attitude and self-belief way before your punching power.
6. He was the master self-promoter for his sport, and for himself. He proclaimed that he was, “the greatest of all time.”
7. He always believed he would win. Self-thought and self-belief were his secret weapons. (His jab and powerful right hand came in handy as well.)
8. At the fight he psyched his opponent. The pre-fight stare-down was without peer. He often used his mental advantage to gain a physical advantage.
9. During the fight he was not just punching or boxing, he was a student. When the bell rang, Ali was looking for the weakness of his opponent, and exploiting it.
10. His mantra was: punch hard, punch fast, and dance.“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,” was not just a slogan, it was a style. His style. He set THE standard for skill, and the benchmark for how to fight. He was a heavyweight dancer. One-of-a-kind.
11. Even though he would predict an early knockout, Ali was prepared to go the distance. You don't have to knock someone out, but you do have to win every round.
12. He had passionate, loyal fans. Still does. He was a loved champion. Still is. “Ali! Ali! Ali!,” the crowd would chant. (I was one of the chanters.)
