into Competitive Success
Right or wrong, people form a perception about how competent you are by how
you present yourself when you stand and speak. They also form perceptions
about the company you represent based on your performance. Does that make
you nervous? It should! Never before in the history of mankind has more been
riding on the effectiveness of a person's presentation.
In fact, public speaking is an easy way to set yourself apart from your
competition, because when you stand up and say what you want to say, they
way that you want to say it, you are doing what 95% of the people in the
audience wish they could do! A person who is confident in front of a group gives
off an air of competence, whereas a person who fumbles might leave a negative
impression.
There are many occasions when you, as a small business owner, will be called
upon to explain your business. These presentations will be given to many diverse
groups including potential customers, bankers, suppliers, and investors. Each
group requires different information about your business and it should be
presented in a format appropriate to the situation.
Along with computer literacy, professional presentation skills are becoming a new
survival skill in the workplace. Not only do people enjoy presenters who are
inviting, engaging and informative, in today's hypercompetitive marketplace,
presenters have to persuade and inspire to obtain a bid, win a contract, gain the
confidence of an ally in a high-stakes competitive task, and motivate others to
overcome impossible obstacles.
Words have the ability to change the way that people think, the way the people
believe, and can even change their values. If you can alter someone's values,
then you can redirect their actions. From values, actions will flow. From beliefs,
come a person's subsequent behaviors.
On the other hand, technical expertise and proficiency without the ability to
communicate will render us inefficient and ineffective. According to research,
people would rather die than stand in front of people and make a speech. The
top three things people are afraid of are public speaking, death, and snakes!
Since you as a businessperson will be required to make presentations, sales
pitches, pleas for cash, and so on, it is imperative that you recognize that
nervousness is a part of the communication experience, and find ways to
channel that anxiety into useful energy.
Are you nervous about your public speaking skills? Developing and delivering
business presentations, just like most functions in business, are formulaic and
are a learned skill. Learn the formula, practice the skill and you will gain
competency as a presenter. This document is part of learning the formula. You
will have to provide the practice to learn and master the skill.

NICE Initiative Whitepaper 2 -Reflections on Storytelling by Penina Rybak
Storytelling is an age old educational and newly re-purposed digital marketing technique that’s been “rediscovered” by social media and communications management gurus and thought leaders. Everyone loves a good story. Stories are important because they provide patterns
of a life lived and patterns to embrace or reject, depending on the outcome. Stories give us concrete examples of a sequence of events, a way of problem solving, and a blueprint of a script for you to follow or deviate from when embarking on your own script. Whether on a quest for truth, justice, or The American Dream, chances are there’s a story for that embedded in a book, movie, TV show, or video game app.Harnessing the power of storytelling, of identifying archetypes, and implementing that knowledge, together with your resiliency, will help you transition from me to we, especially when it comes to entrepreneurship and marketing yourself in terms of your service or product. It enables you to learn from others, empathize with them, and become more flexible and adaptive when your own story changes and/or intersects with another’s.
Messages that Matter: Making the Most of Media Interviews
Effective media pitches should be tailored to the specific publication or outlet. Pitches should demonstrate an understanding of the audience and approach of the outlet. Pitches need a compelling headline and news angle to grab the editor's attention. Successful pitches also highlight the expert's unique qualifications and ability to provide an engaging story on the topic.
