This document discusses the need for constant change and adaptation to disruptive forces. It notes that while change happens exponentially, people often think linearly. It then examines how various industries have already been disrupted by new technologies. The document suggests that communication skills will remain important for navigating future changes. It emphasizes listening first before speaking and advocating for building connections across four foundations: vision, knowledge, physical presence, and emotional intelligence. The document provides steps and examples for crafting powerful messages by starting with purpose, focusing on key points, using examples and stories, and relating content back to the initial vision.

Communication
- 7% of meaning is in the words that are spoken
- 38% of meaning is paralinguistic – the way we say it
- 55% of meaning is in body language & expression
Content 7%
Verbal cues
Tone 38%
Vocal cues
Body language 55%

21. Understanding your body language and other physical
queues is very important when you are
communicating with others.
Your non-verbal communication skills are just as
important as your verbal skills.
The most important thing to ensure is congruence –
that your messages match your body.
Powerful Body Language
22. “When it comes to body language,
there are some who have better vocabularies
than others.”
Doug Larson
27. The most powerful way to engage with and relate to others is
to listen first and ask second.
Too many people spend too much time on what they want to
TELL others rather than taking the time to stop, LISTEN and
ASK.
Listen Then Ask
29. Listen Then Ask Challenge
Person A – share with Person B something you’d like
to see improved at work.
Person B – listen first then only respond with questions
(no solving, telling or sharing your stuff)
31. Build Solid Foundations
That means you have solid
foundations in your thinking - IQ
(know your stuff) and Vision
(know your why).
You also need to be strong in
the doing side - your Body
(your physical presence) and
your EQ (how you relate).
32. The effectiveness of your relationships, your ability to build
trust, your ability to assert yourself and handle conflict and
your ability to craft a powerful message in person or in writing
depends upon you mastering four key communication
foundations:
1 - VISION – Purposefully Aligned
2 - IQ – Intellectually Focused
3 - Body – Physically Energised
4 - EQ - Interpersonally Connected

33. Step 1 - Vision – Start with WHY!
The first step to successful presentations is having
clarity of vision – beginning with the end in mind.
The more you are clear on your WHY and the better you
prepare, the more confident you will feel and the better
outcomes you can expect.
WHY should I listen to you?
Why is this information important for the audience to
know? What’s the reason - think big picture –
global, relevance to news, a story or situation etc
34. What’s your Vision – Your WHY?
•Define a clear vision for what you want the audience to
remember and resonate with.
•What are the top 2 or 3 key messages you want to
deliver?
•What’s your practical objective?
•What’s your emotional objective – ie: how you want to
influence your audience?
•How would you know you delivered what you came for?
Ie: what measure would you use? What evidence would
tell you it was achieved?
37. • What specifically are you going to be talking
about?
• What are the key 2-3 important points you
need to make during your presentation?
• What data, facts and evidence do you
have to demonstrate your claims?
• Using gestures to build rapport and
establish trust and memorability

11.20am Building Rapport and Engaging People The rapport phase is the opening of any successful facilitation or presentation. Quality interactions are only achieved when are truly engaging and building rapport with your audience. Building rapport and creating a climate of trust and understanding allows you to prepare the audience for the delivery of your content. Rapport is vital in all forms of communication and essential for conducting effective presentations and facilitating successful workshops, sessions, group work. In the role of facilitator, your task is to persuade and influence so the audience prefers your solution or idea over what they may have been doing in the past.
John Grinder and Richard Bandler researched how expert communicators were able to build rapport. They found that people like people who are like themselves. Rapport is established by pacing. Pacing is the process of matching and mirroring the verbal, para-verbal and body language of the other person to create likeness and similarities which creates rapport. Being in rapport means being alike both verbally and non verbally.
Professor Albert Mehrabian has pioneered the understanding of communications since the 1960s – today he spends his time researching, writing, and consulting as Professor of Psychology at UCLA. His work featured strongly in establishing early understanding of body language and non-verbal communications.
His research provided the basis for the widely quoted and often much over-simplified statistic for the effectiveness of spoken communications.
Here is a more precise (and necessarily detailed) representation of Mehrabian's findings than is typically cited or applied:
7% of message pertaining to feelings and attitudes is in the words that are spoken.
38% of message pertaining to feelings and attitudes is paralinguistic (the way that the words are said).
55% of message pertaining to feelings and attitudes is in facial expression (and body language).
The main thing to remember is that the formula applies to communications of feelings and attitudes not just any communication.
One of the best ways to build rapport if you don’t know the attendees is to use universals. Universals are statements that are ‘true’ for all members in the audience, general statements that are universally accepted.
Here you are setting the scene or the big picture. For example:
We live in a world that…..
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where…..?
Have you noticed how ……..is happening more often today?

1.50pm Neutral Body Stance Practical There are no right or wrong stances for presenting or pitching. However it is important to remember that your body is a large communication vessel for sending messages to your audience and for switching your own brain on. In order to make sure the audience trusts you you need to build resonance!! AND you want your pitch to be meaningful and profitable. Imagine therefore the audience is in pain and your role in pitching is to teach them something but leave a void that they will need and want to pay for to have Enigma fix.

It’s all too easy to plunge into your presentation with the attitude of “My purpose is to give information to my audience”. Having a clear vision for what you are aiming to communicate is vital – what are the top 1 or 2 key messages you want to deliver through your presentation?
Key Message 1 ______________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
Key Message 2 ______________________________________________________
Instead of aiming at just giving information, aim at changing their ideas, attitudes or behavior.
Examples of practical objectives:
SellBuyPromote
ChangeEndorseImplement
LeadInvolveSeek more information
For many of my presentations my objective is:_____________________________________________________________________
How do you also want to influence your audience?I want to ___________ my audience in order to achieve (my practical objective).
Examples of emotional objectives:
ExciteRestrain
EnthuseSoothe
MotivateInspire
StartleEnrage
For most of my presentations my emotional objective is:
