Master these Three Pillars to Rock that Talk!

Your Mindset: The most important skill to master is your mindset. In the words of Henry Ford, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." Our self-perception is mirrored back to us by others. If YOU don't believe in the value of your own words, then neither will your audience. Developing a presence that will inspire and influence is about building trust and credibility. Carolina specializes in mindfulness-based techniques that help leaders tap into  their authenticity so that they can genuinely connect with others. It's not about being perfect, it's about being bold enough to be real, which is simple but far from easy. This also looks different for each unique speaker as they honor their individual strengths and style, rather than trying to mimic or fit the mold of a highly revered speaker. Some of the practices used to heighten this foundational pillar, will help uncover individual blocks that speakers face embracing and expressing their full potential.  

Your Energy: Energy is a subtle force yet each of us has probably experienced how the mood of a room can be influenced by a single individual. We can all recognize the power of those who are charismatic and draw others in with their charm and warmth, while others have the ability to repel people with their negative vibes. We are constantly emanating energy. The question is, are you aware of the energy that you bring into a room? Science has shown us that we can detect on a physiological level the energy of others and this can impact how we feel about them. Therefore, it is important to be cognizant of our own energy and learn how to manage it accordingly.

Once the awareness is raised on these internal determinants then the focus is shifted to the external factors that can drastically impact the effectiveness of a talk.

Your Instrument: Your body is a powerful instrument and a vehicle for expression that can be used intentionally to convey a specific message. Every movement, stance and gesture can be used to achieve powerful results. Similarly, your voice is another tool that can be used purposefully to create different outcomes by by varying the pitch, the tone, the pace, the volume or the cadence. But first each speaker must be aware of their default patterns and the distracting habits that can interfere with the effectiveness of their delivery. Once the negative habits are eliminated, they can be replaced with more sophisticated communication skills and more advanced techniques to master the use their instrument accordingly.
