- S: Start – How do you start your presentation?  Are you capturing the audience immediately?  Here are four ways you can do so: 1) Story, 2) Video/Context via imagery, 3) Powerful question, or 4) Staggering statistic.  It also helps to make a promise statement, telling the audience what you are going to talk about. - P: Preparation – How frequently are you practicing your presentation?  Do you plan on reading the Powerpoint line by line?  Make sure you use any Powerpoint or presentation slides to enhance your speech, not be your speech. - E: Eye contact + Engagement – As you walk around the room speaking, make eye contact with an audience member and hold it for 4-6 seconds.  This will make them feel connected and as if you are speaking directly to them.  Make sure to ask a lot of questions (some rhetorical, some not) and tell good, succinct stories. - A: Agenda – Why should your audience pay attention to you?  What are your (ideally three) main focus points of your presentation?  You should aim to make your audience laugh, cry, or get emotional (or all three). - C: Close – How do you close your presentation?  It should not be with a Q&A.  Yes, you can do a questions portion near the end, but never close with it.  When you start the questions portion, try asking “What questions do you have for me?” instead of the typical “Any questions?”  You should also close with a short story and a call-to-action.
I almost quit… about 107 times
In 1997, after flunking out of engineering school, I started my first business. Writing business plans for entrepreneurs looking for bank loans... Since then, I've been an entrepreneur through and through, having only held one salaried position in my entire life. But don't be misled—I've submitted hundreds, perhaps thousands, of job applications over the past two decades because, let's face it, there are days when I just want to throw in the towel and say, "Enough is enough." We've all been there, right? If not, just wait a few months—hahahaha. Despite receiving numerous job offers that promised higher pay than my business netted, I could never muster the courage to accept them. I've come close, though. With sales experience and a proven track record, landing a high six-figure job with stock options in the tech or financial sectors isn't all that difficult. So why did I keep applying and attending interviews if I had no intention of taking the jobs? Simply put, I was exhausted from doing everything on my own. When you're launching a company, you're not just the CEO; you're the janitor, accountant, salesperson, and wearing countless other hats until you can either secure investor funding or generate enough revenue to hire help. I was fed up with being broke, smiling when I wanted to cry, and answering insincere questions about how my business was doing from people who didn't really care. Seeing imposters on Instagram flaunting rented Lamborghinis or Airbnb mansions while selling bogus courses was infuriating. Being a speaker, coach, or entrepreneur is tough. It often feels like you're trapped in a self-imposed Houdini-style torture chamber, trying to prove you can escape before you drown or get hit by a freight train. You make a bit of money, which feels like progress, only to mess it up again—two steps forward, three steps back. Meanwhile, friends who seek your advice are getting promotions and raises using tips you gave them. They're posting beach vacations with their significant others or school drop-offs with their kids on Instagram.
