What just happened there?
• A conversation • Goal: to do what you do in a normal
conversation and elevate it to a wider audience
• People can improve on the skills they already have
• Audiences respond to what they know
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
First Rule of Engagement
• Engage
• Draw people in
• Make a connection to your audience
• Irrelevant of your true content
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Second Rule of Engagement: Having Insight
• Know yourself • Be yourself • Find out what works best for you • Find out what doesn’t work for you • Don’t imitate others
– Develop your own style • Applies to STYLE and CONTENT
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Third Rule of Engagement: Passion
• Have some • Care about what you speak of • You all picked a specialty in medicine • Draws people in and makes them naturally
pay attention • People will consider what you say • “Fake it til’ ya make it”
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Fourth Rule of Engagement: CONTROL your anxiety…
• How do you do that?
• Three ways…
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Practice • Again and again... • Rehearse with a friend/Spouse • Be familiar with equipment • Control for length • Blackberry or iPhone if no one loves you • Work to control filler words
– Get others to help and be honest • Just like a procedure in the ICU
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
FOCUS on CONTENT • Put effort into your content
– It will save you • Focus on contents of your message to
group • Know your material • While you speak focus more on what you
are saying and not as much on people’s reaction
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Pick a person • Speak to certain individuals in the crowd
• Lessens anxiety
• Makes speech more conversational and natural
• Speak to 6 and you have spoken to 100
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Remember • You are the REAL DEAL
– Not an IMPOSTER – There is reason why you are there
• People are always pre-occupied with themselves so therefore are not as judgmental as you think
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Fifth Rule of Engagement: Have some STYLE in your
communication
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Non-verbal Style in Communicating Effectively
• Eye contact (engaging) • Vary your tone and pace (humans tune out
to same sound) • Appearance • Posture • Facial Expression • Gestures • Movement: “work the room”
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Non-verbal Style in Communicating Effectively
• Start active and assertive and maintain it
• Don’t be passive and bored
• Never Never Never read your speech word for word – Will always fall flat and fail b/c you eliminate
the natural conversational element
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Verbal Style in Communicating Effectively
• Content and style can be interwoven • Humor
– Tell jokes about yourself • Personal Stories
– Not other’s • Anecdotes • Metaphors • Helps audience relate to you as a real person
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Sixth and Final Rule of Engagement: Make the Audience your Ally & Friend
• Get to know your friend before and during – Create an adaptive plan based on this
• Content and Structure • Formality of style • Adapt to the situation (like patients)
• Involve your ally in the presentation – Allow them to engage you – Get them to identify with you and your message – Always have time for ANY questions
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Power Point • Less is More • Use it to anchor your talk • Use it to enhance your talk • Font 24 or greater • It is a cue, never read it • Show data • It can detract from your presentation
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES.
Extra Tips: • Know the room • Arrive early • Test the A-V equipment before • Have back-up memory for slides • Relax • Visualize yourself giving the speech • Realize that people want you to succeed • Don’t apologize: go with the flow
