Dame siete minutos y voy a cambiar para siempre la forma en que haces presentaciones.
2
There are seven communication devices that separate people who bore their audiences from people who captivate them.
Existen siete recursos comunicativos que distinguen a las personas que aburren a su público de aquellas que lo cautivan.
3
Most people only use one of these, but now you're going to learn all six.
4
Neil!
5
Hello, Neil!
6
My question was to a certain extent to do with how you engage with the audience.
7
I think a number of us do sessions, we present, I present on a number of occasions.
8
Yes.
9
And sometimes where I struggle is knowing if the points are landing.
10
If I don't know if the content is landing the way I expect for it to, I find that I tend to tune out and I try to get through the slides, just get it done with.
11
I wonder what advice you'd have for those instances
12
when you're not sure whether or not the stuff is landing with the audience.
13
How do you know if it is landing?
14
When you're presenting, how would you know if it's landing or not?
15
What's your signal that you need to let you know it's landing?
16
Usually you'd look for some kind of engagement, questions that are coming back from the audience or whether the audience is nodding along.
17
Okay, good.
18
If it's a virtual session, then maybe just what you're seeing on the screen, you know, there's emojis on the screen that gives you...
19
Emojis, interesting.
20
If I can share with you, when you're presenting to a group, there are many tools you can use to engage the audience.
21
If it's just content delivery non-stop, it's not effective.
22
It's not as engaging, unfortunately, it's just not.
23
So there are many tools.
24
Can I just write down a few tools?
25
So the first tool, which we all default to, is our content.
26
Right, so that's me speaking about my content.
27
What topics do you speak on digital marketing okay
28
so that's all content that's digital marketing now the second form
29
of engagement is you can ask the audience questions right
30
and then if you're doing it virtually tell me in chat the content
31
that what I just spoke about emojis are great
32
but then you can tell me in chat with what I just shared what resonates the most point one two
33
or three let me know full engagement because
34
when they're engaging here virtually they're engaging up here
35
so virtually you have to strategically ask questions at very key moments
36
and don't tell them to write whatever they want it's just go was a point a point B
37
or point C let me know just type a B
38
or C I want to get a bit of sense oh
39
wow well everybody's getting a point a would you like me
40
to dive deeper into a yes yes yes yeah let's do it
41
so virtual is very different okay because people are happy to type like that but
42
if you did this all the time with an audience live it can give it a bit exhausting so questions
43
So that can be virtual and online.
44
You can also use many different tools to better engage the audience.
45
One of the most famous ones done by Bill Gates, love him or hate him after recent events, he did this incredible thing where he did a talk about malaria,
46
I don't know if any of you have seen it, and what he does is he brings a prop.
47
So prop, you can engage him with a prop.
48
Now malaria is of course transmitted by mosquitoes.
49
I brought some here so you could experience this.
50
We'll let those roam around the auditorium a little bit.
51
There.
52
There's no reason only poor people should have the experience.
53
Those mosquitoes are not infected.
54
So these are engagement techniques.
55
He brings a little glass container, he walks out on stage, and he takes a glass container, he puts it here, and he goes, I'd like to talk about malaria,
56
and instead of me just talking about it, how about we all experience it?
57
The audience started to freak out.
58
He's like, is he being serious?
59
And there were mosquitoes inside, right?
60
malaria obviously and that you can use a prop
61
and you see that's engagement so
62
when you think about what you're about to present think about
63
what props can i bring in to demonstrate the point
64
that i'm trying to make about digital marketing point a b
65
and c what are some what are some different things i can use to bring in to represent
66
that make it fun make it physical
67
if you start to apply all the things i'm teaching you
68
in this video they're going to make your presentations extremely dynamic however
69
if you also want to learn how to make your voice
70
dynamic I've recorded a 90 minute free class on how you can unlock the four different vocal archetypes you have access to.
71
You actually have access to four different voices.
72
If you want to explore that training with me, just click the link in the description or you can scan the QR code.
73
See you in the training.
74
Back to the video.
75
All right.
76
And then on top of this, you can also do an activity.
77
Right.
78
So an activity like I did with all of you, we're always doing activities.
79
And then all you have to do is, how does that activity link to the point that I'm trying to make?
80
So there's a wonderful book I shared with the storytellers this morning, 275 theater games.
81
And if you look that up, it's 275 theater games that now you can use AI.
82
You find a game you really like
83
and you go share with me are there possible angles to
84
connect this activity with talking about the importance of this
85
and it'll be like oh yeah here's your segue here's five variations
86
which one do you want to use boom
87
so now in the middle your presentation you go hey why
88
don't we break this up engagement stand up engagement look to the person next you engagement
89
and then that sits so so
90
when I think of this I think of the audience has about an hour's worth of focus, or maybe sometimes 30 minutes, you've got to do an activity close to the end of the day,
91
re-energizes them, they sit back down and keep teaching.
92
These are all engagement tools.
93
So that's activity.
94
Alright, there's also video.
95
Is there a video that can illustrate your point?
96
One of the greatest marketing videos we've seen online that has incredible results, it's really funny, I've got to show you all.
97
It's just a pattern break.
98
I showed a video this morning.
99
So these are all the different tools and then there's more, there's also storytelling, there's also analogies, metaphors and similes.
100
Start with the fundamentals.
101
These are all the tools of engagement that a great presenter uses.
102
Most only do that.
103
And then their experience that they create, it's so two-dimensional.
104
Whereas when you experience something like that, how long do you often present for?
105
30 minutes.
106
30 minutes?
107
Okay, don't do all of them because then it seems like a clown show.
108
So what you want to do is you just want to pick one or two.
109
It would be super engaging now.
110
Because now they can see it from a different perspective.
111
They're not just seeing it from words.
112
Does that give you some tools?
113
It does.
114
It does.
115
This is fantastic.
116
You'll love it. Have fun.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
