Business Presentations and the Iranian Presidency

If you want to learn how to do the best business presentations then be sure not to take advice from the President of Iran. You see the President of Iran is trying to convince the IAEA that he wants to use nuclear power and tells the world and the people he will; Blow Israel off the Map. Interesting and ironic statements full of hypocrisy indeed; be careful not to do this in business presentations. So often when giving sales presentations the presenters will over embellish a problem and claim to solve it, yet their product, software or consulting services will only solve part of the problem and create a worsened one.

The President of Iran is sponsoring International Terrorism and says he only wants to build nuclear weapons, missile warheads and atomic bombs to defend his nation? But no one is at war with Iran and Iran has oil to sell the world, why does it need to defend itself or start World War III? If you go into a company with a presentation and tell them you can solve all their problems and will work closely with their staff to modify your services, software or products to their specifications great. But then if you tell the Corporations Board of Directors that you are qualified to do this because you also work with all their competition then you are telling them that you will learn everything you can from them and take all that knowledge to their enemy?

When giving a business presentation to a company consider what you are saying. You may think you are giving them reasons to buy into your sales routine, presentation or negotiations, yet at the same time you might be telling them that you are going to help their competition to their secrets and start a huge war in the market place, by giving information to the enemy. Consider all this in 2006.

Public Speaking Tip – How to Make the Best Use of Your Body Language During a Presentation

Public speaking is a topic many people don’t like to talk about. They feel uncomfortable to speak about it but also the act itself makes many people feel anxious.

It then comes as no surprise that public speaking is the number one fear in the U.S. Closely followed by death.

But what can you do to deliver a better presentation? How can you use your body language to appear more comfortable?

I hope to answer these questions in the following article.

Posture
Your posture is extremely important when speaking in public. You should appear to be confident and even if you aren’t confident at all then simply fake it, after a while it will feel natural.

The first step to a better posture is to stand straight up. Put your feet shoulder-wide apart. That will make you appear more confident since it’s harder to fall over for you.

Shoulders
Depending on where your shoulders are it can make you look very insecure or on the other hand very confident. So what is the best way to use your shoulders to great effect?

Naturally it’s what your dad probably told you when you were little. You should put your chest out and pull your shoulders back. This is the natural posture of an alpha male.

Head
How should you use your head? Generally it’s easy to say that you should behave like people who are comfortable speaking in public. That means that you should look straight, not down or up. Don’t look too long at a certain person or you will be seen as cold or mean. On the other hand don’t look at your audience just for a second, that’s the behaviour of an insecure person. Simply look at your audience from time to time while you speak.

Public speaking is important and there is nothing more important than learning from someone who has the experience and skills necessary to deliver a dazzling presentation.

The Present Is a Gift

Every day holds new opportunities. Every dawn provides us with a valuable gift which is to improve and grow ourselves for the better, increase our knowledge of ourselves.

There’s a famous saying that goes: “The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.” The present offers us the opportunity to change ourselves for the better, and get rid of past patterns or old behavioral rooted deep within that impede us from moving forward towards the knowledge of ourselves. These might be a wrong way of thinking or a wrong way of seeing life, procrastinating, living in fear or in doubts, etc.

We all end up by learning, either willingly or through pain, for nothing happen in our life but for a reason: to teach us a lesson we need to learn. Moreover, we all need to reassess from time to time our own perspective from life. We need to re-evaluate our thoughts, our emotions and behaviors. For life is a school of the self where we need to understand ourselves better, elevate ourselves to a higher vibration.

If you tend to be surrounded by people who often treat you unfairly then at one time of your lifetime, you tended to treat people unfairly as well. For every cause there is a result. Our present is the result of our past and will be the cause of our future. That’s the funny wheel of karma. Awakening to your previous life enlighten you on many issues about your present, the people that are in your current life including your family, friends and acquaintances.

On the other hand, the present is a blessing, for no matter how much we might have messed up in our previous life, the present is an opportunity to fix it.

Moreover, the present time gives us the opportunity to heal our wounds that might reside within; these might be in the forum of ancient trauma that might have arisen either from this life or from a previous one.

Last but not least, the present teaches us how to love ourselves and embrace all the difficulties within.

The bottom line is that when we delve within and find more about ourselves and our relationships, we boost the spiritual life that is alive within each one of us.
