3 Tips for Team Presentations to High Level Executives
3 Secrets to Successful Team Presentations to High Level Executives
Yesterday, I was coaching a group of fantastically motivated, hardworking, immerging leaders at one of my pharmaceutical clients. They where preparing to give team presentations to the big wigs of their organization. If you follow my blog, you know that the beginnings and endings of presentations can make or break your presentation. It is often the smallest behaviors that have the biggest impact on the outcome of your presentation. The team had already worked many hours on their own portion of the presentation. They each had great content for a single speech. They each new what they wanted to say and they each wanted to impress the big wigs. But they didn't know how it would look as one seamless presentation.
One of the things I suggested to the group is that they get together after their presentation to celebrate their success. They just contacted me from their celebration. What worked for them at the beginning and close? They sent me a email with what they did in the meeting. These are three things they used from our work that worked to improve their team presentation.
• So that the team could bond with the audience and look professional and not computer with each other for a power position we formed a greeting line at the entrance of the meeting room . so that each executive shook our hands with all four members as they came in, we even had the executives that tried to come in the side door come in the main door to greet us. The executives loved it.
• We wowed them with our “Imagine” attention getter that allowed each of us to speak and express our passion for a high performance team.
• We were prepared for the tough questions. The practice with you yesterday creating and answering the questions helped. We know how to answer the “We hope the audience doesn’t ask questions." The practice responding and tossing questions to fellow team members prepared us for the tough questions. During the presentation we were able to toss them easily to each other.
One of the things I also suggested is that they get together after their presentation to celebrate their success. They just called me from their celebration. What worked for them at the beginning and close? Here is what they said:

Do They Look In Love? What Does Their Body Language Reveal?
Patti weighed in on Bachelor Ben and his "fiance" Courtney's body language as they were eating dinner with Ben's sister and her boyfriend for Hollywoodlife.com. Read her insights below! Also, read the full article in Hollywoodlife.com at the link below.
Patti's insights:
Courtney is “sheltering” with her head tilted toward and shoulder closest too him down toward him. That shows she feels he can protect her. The fingers on his hand that’s around her shoulder are nicely relaxed and spread and his thumb is actually resting up and her shoulder in a protective hold. I see loving care between them.
