True confessions time.

Corporate leaders around the world confess to a singular dread of presenting in front of groups. It’s shocking, really. Grown men in dark blue suits. Successful women who have smashed the glass ceiling.

They should be confident. They should feel great and ready to jump up and take center stage. But, it’s not the case.

In the quiet safety of a hallway. Next to the elevator. Over a cup of coffee. These men and women tell a simple story:

“I dread presenting.”

“I get nauseous just thinking about it!”

“I’ve had presentation skills training on my development plan for the last 15 years.”

This is bad news. Smart, well-educated professionals who would rather stay under the covers than step into the spotlight. All that knowledge, insight and contribution hidden or lost. This is a sorry shame.

But good news is close behind.

Learning how to feel confident giving presentations has gotten easier than ever before. An entire new source for professional development training is now available: online presentation skills training.

Previously, busy professionals relied on expensive in-house training programs, exorbitant coaching fees and public seminars. No more. Now, the choice is clear: self-study courses are the way to go.

These leaders are men and women who know the importance of professional skills training. It’s a career booster like no other. It is the critical key to unlock more job opportunity, better promotions, and greater success.

While senior leadership promotions often look for work experience, smart organizations value communication training and leadership presentation skills.

The big question every professional should ask is this: what’s on your calendar for becoming a confident presenter?

Let’s look at the big ‘excuses’ that could be standing in your way:

1. No travel budget

Online course and skill development is now available from many websites. With webinars it is easy to learn the skills you need to succeed.

2. No time

No worries. Get quick training bites in short video tutorials. Grab new ideas in cheat sheets and blueprints you can use from the convenience of your home, office or hotel room.

3. No money

Hey, let’s kick that excuse to the curb. New pricing and new low cost options provide high-value for as little as pennies a day!

4. No support from boss

With new online solutions for every budget, you don’t need to wait for approval from your boss or organization. In fact, you’d be smarter to take your career path into your own hands.

By conquering your fear of presenting, you’ll be uniquely positioned for promotions, job opportunities, and attracting employers who value education.

5. No confidence

Lack of confidence is not truly a barrier. It’s more a warning light on your internal dashboard. Ad when this warning light is flashing it’s signaling one thing: it’s time to solidify your intent.

Focus on finding resources that are non-judgmental and confidence boosting. Lack of confidence arises because you haven’t yet learned the step-by-step system to feel good, relaxed and natural presenting in front of groups.

Remember this important fact: learning to be a confident presenter is a skill. It’s a learnable skill. The sooner you start learning the ropes, the sooner you’ll be free of nervous jitters.

The most powerful presenters today often started because they recognized one thing: if they stay stuck in excuses, they will never achieve their career goals.

These professionals learned in the same way you can. Take the first step. Then the second. In no time you’ll have new professional skills that can take you to the top of your career. 

A lot has been said about how important it is to be present, with there being a number of benefits to living in the moment. For one thing, being present will allow one to embrace what is taking place in the now and to fully show up.

Through being able to do this, it will be a lot easier for them to truly appreciate each ‘now’ moment of their life. And, as their attention will be in the now, their ability to perform a task well will also improve.

More at Peace

Embracing the now can also have a positive effect on their health, thanks to the fact that they won’t be going over the stressful things that what took place in the past. So, even if there is a lot of drama going on around them, they won’t add to what is taking place by getting caught up in what happened before.

This will increase the likelihood of them making good decisions and behaving in ways that won’t lead to even more disharmony. Naturally, if there isn’t any drama taking place, being this way is still going to enable them to create a more harmonious and fulfilling life.

Another Area

Being able to fully show up in the now is likely to have a positive effect on their relationships, too. The reason for this is that another person – that’s if they are also present – will be able to feel their presence and this will be very nourishing.

What this illustrates is that being in another person’s company is not enough; their presence also needs to be there. When this happens, one’s body will be there and so will their attention, which will be felt by others.

Charisma

They may find that they have the tendency to influence others or to inspire them in a number of different ways. Once they have finished being in another person’s presence, this person could end up feeling uplifted.

One is then not necessarily going to be someone who gets on stage and pumps people up, but they can still have a big influence. Then again, this could be exactly what they do on a regular basis.

A Pipe Dream

Experiencing life in this way will be the norm for some people, whilst there will be others who have a radically difference experience on this earth. Consequently, there are likely to be a lot of people who are looking for a way to be more present.

If someone is in this position, what that they could do is to do a search online. For example, they could end up typing in ‘how to be more present’ and seeing what information appears.

One Approach

This could be a time when they will come across information that tells them that they need to learn to detach from their thoughts. By no longer getting caught up in them, they will be able to embrace the now.

Furthermore, they may be told that they need to make sure that they breathe into their stomach, not their chest. This will allow them to take in more air, and by focusing on their breath, it will get them out of their head and into their body – the part of them that lives in the now.

A New Life

Applying what they have learnt and making sure that they practice every day will probably allow them to become more present. As the weeks and months go by, their life could radically improve and the people in their life could even feel that there is more of them.

At the same time, although one may notice that they have changed; what could also become clear is that they are experiencing a lot of resistance. Not only this, they may see that they are denying how they feel.

Another Approach

After realising this, one might take a deeper look into why it is such a challenge for them to embrace the now. What may happen is that they will come cross information that tells them that focusing on their mind is not enough; what they also need to do is to look into what is taking place in their body.

The view that could be put forward is that what is taking place in their mind is often a reflection of what is taking place deeper down. Changing what is taking place in their body is then going to be a way for their mind to settle down.

Calling out

One way of looking at this would be to say that the reason why one is finding it hard to embrace the now is because of the split-off parts of themselves that want to be heard. These parts that exist in their body are crying out to be heard and, until these parts are acknowledged, they will continue to call out.

The question is: what are these parts and why do they exist? Each part that is within their body can relate to a time when they felt overwhelmed, and their mind would have disconnected from a part of them in order to stop the experience from wiping them out.

A Deeper Look

There may have been moments in their adult life when they felt overwhelmed and there may have been moments during their early years when they felt the same way. It could go back even further, though, and what they went though in a past life could be playing a part.

What took place in the past will then be over, but their body will be carrying the emotional effects of what took place. Thus, unless they get in touch with these parts and integrate them, they will continue to consume ones attention and make it incredibly difficult for them to embrace the now.

Awareness

Taking this into account, if one finds it hard to embrace the now, they can see this as a sign that part of being is trying to communicate with them. This part of them doesn’t want to be changed or fixed; it just wants to be heard.

The masculine energy of doing is not needed here, what is needed is the feminine energy of being. Surrendering to what is taking place and allowing these split-off parts to speak out can be difficult if one is carrying a lot of pain or if they find it hard to connect to their body (feelings).

This is why external support can make such a big difference. A therapist or a healer can hold the space so that one can go where they wouldn’t go by themselves.
