Be yourself. Really.

Lisa Poulson / March 4, 2016 / Communication, Leadership /

I have met so many really accomplished and talented people who think that they can only be great presenters if they somehow morph into Steve Jobs.  Look, Steve Jobs was a legendary presenter. One of a kind. And that’s the point. There was only one of him.

As Oscar Wilde said, “Be yourself, everybody else is already taken.”  Understanding yourself, knowing what drives you and what you have to offer your audience – that kind of certainty propels the best communicators.

When you show your audience who you are, why you care so much about your idea, and what you have to offer to them, you will win their minds and their hearts.
