Owning your expertise

Presenting with confidence isn’t just about being a confident presenter. It’s also about owning your own expertise.

I recently had a meeting with someone who was looking for a new trainer on a specific area of my expertise and I was keen to impress.

I started by thinking about how they might find me lacking. Frantically trying to do last-minute research on the topic, I stopped and took a breath.

I stopped to remind myself that I knew this stuff. I’d been doing it for years and training in it for almost as long. That was all I needed to get across.

It’s the same for you. When you relax and remind yourself that you know your stuff, some of your anxiety about presenting will go away, leaving you to focus on sharing that expertise.

Plan, prepare, practise – and relax.

Why not a book a call with me now to see how I can help?
