Editor's Notes
- .
- Amy G. Dala or the am-ig-da-la – the wee part of your brain responsible for fear, anger and negativity Resistance is an active, intelligent, protean, malign, force — tireless, relentless and inextinguishable — whose sole object is to stop us from becoming our best selves and from achieving our higher goals.” This resistance is the reaction of your mind every time you want to create something new or do something different. A reaction that has the same strength than you desire, but goes in the opposite direction. You can never completely eliminate resistance, but you can learn to live with it and be stronger than it.
- Keep it very simple and differentiate yourself quickly. You have about 30 seconds or less to really simplify your message but also explain clearly what is in it for the audience, you to explain ‘the why’ part of plans.” “Also it’s important to show personality and smile — smiling is really an inexpensive asset, people are drawn to enthusiasm and confidence. It’s about saying things like ‘I know this is going to be a great solution’ rather than ‘I think this is going to be good solution’.”
- The thing is, that hesitancy is often what does open the door for criticism or critique. With any presentation, even to one’s team, there are some simple things you can do to present with certainty: 1. Like Sara, I agree that a smile goes such a long way. 2. Start with a thank you. 3. Practice — write down your talking points in a notebook and have it there to also jot down any important phrases you hear from others, especially your boss. 4. Brevity, I am working on this, listen more than you speak. 5. If you are presenting, have someone else take notes so you can be present and think on your feet. 6. Breathe and slow down. You don’t have to answer immediately, smile, take a breath, repeat the question back as the beginning of your answer. In coaching others and continuously working on my pitches, presentations I work on getting this language out of the vernacular. Give a listen to see how much doubt language swirls around in our world. It’s there more than you think. In this case, there is no “benefit” to presenting “doubt.”
- Throwing someone under the bus - a phrase that is used when you are in a meeting/conversation and you trash the work someone else is doing or you perceive that they aren't doing. Typical ways this is done, which seem innocuous if you just read the words, but the intent is what is the zinger
