Practical Tips for Powerful PresentationsChris Heinz
Increasingly, energy managers (or anyone with an idea) must present ideas to groups of people. Whether it’s proving return on investment for an upcoming purchase, sharing the results of an energy efficiency project, or enlisting coworkers to conserve energy, these ideas are important.
However, few energy managers are ever trained in preparing presentations and speaking to groups, so high stakes presentations receive low stakes preparations. The important ideas get fumbled.
But in this webinar, Chris Heinz, speaker and VP of Marketing for EnergyCAP, Inc., provides practical tips for delivering powerful presentations.
Borrowing from presentation experts Nancy Duarte and Dan Roam, Heinz will discuss how to:
- delight your audience
- say what you mean
- use storytelling
- make your slides shine
- deliver your presentation so people care
Say goodbye to mediocre presentations and deliver powerful presentations every time.

You can speak with confidence. If you follow the pointers
and tips in these coming pages, I have no doubt you’ll
become an accomplished public speaker. That may sound
like a bold assertion but I’m absolutely convinced it’s true.
Everybody can learn to speak well.
Despite this, many people are scared of getting up to talk
in front of an audience. There’s even a technical term for
this: glossophobia. It’s so common that it’s believed to
affect up to 75 per cent of the population, with an
estimated 10 per cent of those at the more extreme end of
the spectrum. If you are one of the many who make up this
number, it may strike you that your glossophobia is
insurmountable. It isn’t. With the right preparation and
support, you can overcome your barriers and stumbling
blocks. In the following chapters I will help you look at
speaking in a fresh way that will dissipate much of the
anxiety and put you in control. I say ‘much’, rather than
‘all’, because some nerves are a good thing. Harnessed in
the right way, they bring the necessary energy to your
performance. They help you to focus and connect.
One of the fundamentals of successful public speaking is
to understand that, no matter how good at it you become,
it’s always the audience that is the star. They’re the focus.
Not you. Later on in this book, I’ll explain how this works
and how to use it to your advantage – because by truly
understanding this, you can boost your self-confidence and
performance. I’ll also be exploring why public speaking is
most definitely not one-way traffic. The best speeches
mirror a conversation, and actively provoke interaction and
reaction.
This is an abbreviated version of a presentation given as part of a Residency program for graduate education students earning their Superintendent's letter.
A few of my top-of-mind takeaways from this year's Planningness event. Be sure to check out my original piece for more context and details: bit.ly/1sbEu6n
Have you ever watched a so called expert doing a TV interview and thought“That guy or lady has no idea what he is talking about; they should be interviewing me instead
” You are 100 % correct, they should be interviewing you. I want to share some valuable tips with you in this article, to support you to make just that happen.
Becoming a sought after expert
It is not as difficult as it at first seems, to become a sought after expert. The advantage of becoming that sought after expert is that doors will begin to fly open for you when you do. The media will begin to seek your opinion, business leaders will pay to hear your wisdom and you will become the go to person in your specific area of expertise.

Innovative Business Plan Presentations: Turning Ten Minutes
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.

According to TechSci Research report, “India Orthopedic Devices Market -Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the India Orthopedic Devices Market stood at USD 1,280.54 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.84% in the forecast period, 2026-2030F. The India Orthopedic Devices Market is being driven by several factors. The most prominent ones include an increase in the elderly population, who are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Moreover, the rise in sports injuries and road accidents are also contributing to the demand for orthopedic devices. Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.

This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to
effectively manage the convert Accpac to QuickBooks , with a particular focus on utilizing online accounting services to streamline the process.
2. Hello. My name’s Michael Neaylon. As a terrified teenage actor I was abysmal at speaking in public. Since
wishing the stage would swallow me whole over 20 years ago, I’ve gone on to build a successful career as
an MC, actor, facilitator and speaker. These are just some of the things I’ve learnt, applied, and reshaped
along the way.
Let me start by asking you with 3 simple questions.
1. Would you say you’re presenting at your best?
2. Do you think other people would say that you’re a world class speaker?
3. Would you like others to recognize you as an expert in your field?
Personally, my answers to these questions would be…
1. Many of us want to present at our best.
2. People want us to be world class presenters.
3. Many of us are experts in our field.
So what’s stopping us from presenting as the world class experts we – and others - know we are?
I’m glad you asked.
PresentAbility Page 2
4. I have no doubt that your present ability is far greater than you think; especially if it’s true that we only
use 5% of our brains. Margaret Mead said 6%. Others have said less. But even if we only use 10% that
leaves a lot of grey matter that could matter a whole lot more.
I do think, however, that too much thinking gets in the way of a good presentation. Counterproductive
thinking. We often worry ourselves with needless concerns far beyond our control:
Will they like me?
Is there enough detail?
Is it the right detail?
Perhaps it’s too much detail?
Have they heard it all before?
Do they care?
Should they care?
Do I? Of course I do. But who the hell am I to get up here and preach?
Why didn’t I just tell them I was sick and get someone else to do it?
These are just a few of the symptoms of presenter’s dis-ease. What we’re going to treat are some of the
causes.
PresentAbility Page 4
5. Fear
Public speaking is widely reported by many as a fear greater than death. There
are countless theories as to why. Jerry Seinfeld says that most people giving a
eulogy ‘would rather be the guy in the box’. The great orator of Springfield,
Homer Simpson, says ‘If I could just say a few words: I’d be a better speaker’.
One of the more curious ones I’ve heard is that the mere act of being in front of
a group of people taps into our primal fear of being segregated from a group by
being apart from the tribe.
Whilst there might be truth in all of these statements, each person’s fear will be
personal to them, that’s why coaching can be helpful. It gives people the
opportunity to not only conquer fears but also locate their strengths – and build
on them. Whilst we might not be able to delve into your specific fear here, I find
the most effective fear fighters are the ones that take the focus off of yourself
and onto 3 key things:
1. The audience.
2. The topic. If I have nothing to fear
but fear itself, why do I
3. The task at hand. feel so afraid?
PresentAbility Page 5
6. The Audience
We’ll look at the audience first, because, without a doubt, they are the most
important point of focus. I’m sure you’ve worked that out already, however
there are a few things that can get between us and them in the process,
despite our good intentions.
This can be broken down into 3 main areas:
‘You must know how
this is relevant to your
1. Lack of Research - find as much out about your audience as you can.
audience.’
Survey them, ask the HR Manager about them, google them, know as
much as you possibly can about what makes them tick, and most
importantly, what they most care about – not just what you think they
should care about.
2. Lack of Relevance – you must know how this is relevant to your
audience. How will it improve their lives, or at the very least their
workplace, where most people spend much of their lives?
3. Lack of Confidence - When I recently voiced my concern over bringing
a particular topic to an audience I was reminded by a colleague ‘you are
The Topic
what you bring’. It’s true. Bring the best of you to the stage. No more,
no less.
PresentAbility Page 6
7. The Topic
A surefire way to be relevant for your audience is to have a hot topic. If it’s an
industry seminar, research what’s wrong in the marketplace. Where are the gaps?
Where are we falling down? Where could we improve? How could we serve more
people? How could we create profit and retain integrity?
But what if you have no say over the topic? What if the topic’s been chosen for
you?
The solution’s easy. If you can’t present a new topic in a new way, present and
‘Find a hot angle.’
old topic in a new way. In short, find a hot angle. You actually have an added
advantage here. As the audience’s expectations are low, you’ll surprise them with
a rigorous, fresh approach, automatically exceeding their expectations.
One of our clients, Steensen Varming, recently did this in a Presentation Skills
Workshop by starting their presentation with a scene from a movie. The MD had
rewritten the scene to address an old issue in a new way; he even acted it out. It
was brave and bold, and it captivated and engaged the audience.
The Task at Hand
Ask others for their perspective on an issue. They’ll appreciate it, and you’ll find
better material. Google it. Oppose it. Imagine you’re debating the issue for the

8. The Task at Hand
If you’re the MC, your overall objective would be to fulfil the event brief. Yet your
task at hand for a particular session might be to energize people after lunch. This
results in an outcome: an alert, responsive audience for the afternoon’s speakers.
If you’re sponsoring a conference, your overall objective might be to raise your
company profile. Your task at hand, however, might be to give the audience a
case study. The outcome is you establish your reputation as a trusted source.

Yes, there is more. A lot more.
Often the best ways to reach an audience is find as many touch points using as
many tactics as you can. Why? What resonates with one person might not
necessarily resonate with another.

10. All The World’s A Stage
One way to conquer the fear of speaking is simply to speak more. Not just on the
stage, at the conference or when pitching to clients, but in everyday life. By
practicing consciously, your ‘speaking’ becomes habitual. Then, when you step up
onto stage it doesn’t feel like such a massive leap into a unknown void.

is focused speaking – amplified by your personality and expertise.
To help that process, we often encourage our clients to pick a simple topic or area
of expertise they’re highly familiar with and explore these techniques in:
Heighten & Extend: expand key points of a topic by highlighting key areas,
and ensuring those points hit home.
Elevator Statements: distil your message into an elevator statement that
gives someone its essence in one or two sentences.
Same, Same, But Different: say the same mini-speeches in different ways.

11. Heighten & Extend
This exercise is excellent for testing a story’s impact. It’s tough. It’s fun. It works.
This is your opportunity to road test your material for your audience, without them
even being in the room. Simply tell a story from a presentation you’re working on
to a colleague or friend. This person is now your story buddy. Using an accurate
snapshot your audience, brief your buddy so they understand the attendees’ key
areas, issues and concerns. They need to listen as if from that person’s point of
view. Then tell your story. But before you do…
‘It’s tough. It’s fun.
Your buddy has 2 words they can interject with at any time.
It works.’
1. Heighten. 2. Extend.
If they say ‘heighten’ then this is a cue that they need more detail delivered
in a more interesting or entertaining way. Keep them engaged. Watch their body
language, their face, and adjust your delivery to keep their interest.
Once your buddy is engaged, they say ‘extend’. This means you’ve made your
point and can keep going to deliver the next points in your presentation, until they

Debrief at the end, asking your buddy what worked, what didn’t, and why.

12. Elevator Statements
Elevator Statements are built on the concept of elevator pitches, made famous in
Hollywood by scriptwriters who only have a few floors in an elevator to pitch their
concept to a Producer.
Some screenwriters call this sentence the central idea, controlling idea or the spine.
Advertisers might call it a tagline. In a business plan the sentence might be the
mission statement. Whichever of those strike a chord with you, the key is that the
line needs forward motion, and ideally, emotion. The line needs to be catchy, active,
compelling and concise. ‘The line needs to
be catchy, active,
Use this line to encourage, uplift, inspire, influence, intrigue or entertain your compelling and
concise.’
audience. Give it energy. Make it fun. It’s also effective if the line has that effect on
you. In fact I see it as. Here are some other examples:
Rich Dad Poor Dad’s Mission: To elevate the financial wellbeing of humanity.
Coke: The real thing.
This e-book: How to Be More Than Merely Presentable.
So, what’s your presentation’s concept? Can you explain it in one sentence?
But hang on, is one sentence really enough? Yes. And no.

13. Same Same. But Different.
Just as you’d tailor a CV for different roles and different companies, you also need to
tailor your Elevator Statement for different audiences and environments. The
following table is a snapshot of a concept developed by Matt Church and the
Thought Leaders network, giving the 3 ways you pitch yourself in any situation.

YOU is obviously all about you; who you are, and what you’ve done. IT is about your
area of expertise or a project. THEM is all about the outcomes you can deliver for
the other person. To tailor this further, think about the appropriate energy level,
which can be divided into low, medium and high. As Matt wisely points out, you’re
best not to begin a high energy conversation all about yourself next to some on a
plane. Unless you want to be perceived by the other person as the guy in the next
seat who yells – ‘HEY. I’M MICHAEL, AND I SHOUT AT PEOPLE ON PLANES!’

their presentation. In general, people fall into two camps.
1. They rush the ending.
2. They drag out the ending.
From the audience’s point of view it can feel like a badly executed 3rd act of a movie.
These are just some of the ways you can finish strong.
1. Summarise – review your 3 key points – or more if you have them. ‘…finish strong.’
’
2. Quick Q & A, asking for comments, questions or thoughts. You don’t want to
make this the very last thing though, as there are too many variables.
3. Call to Action – a great one for sales, giving people a strong cue for what to do
next.
So, in closing we’ve covered quite a lot here. We’ve looked at your audience, how to
engage them and how to deliver your message in ways that ensure they’ll be
receptive, responsive and entertained. If you have any questions, comments or
thoughts please email me at michael@mcme.com.au Thanks for reading and all the
best for your presentations. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
