 Know  Go Do  and  BE

When you bring yourself to what you do the truth will help set you free, but at first, it could really piss you off.
All over the world people are beginning to exercise their right to express themselves, and what people want and what business wants is indeed coming together.
However, collaboration requires trust. To use bottom up technology properly – people still need to meet face to face. And friends are much more efficient than acquaintances in performing collective tasks individual knowledge nestled in a network of relationships.
People want to be caught doing things right, and affirmed as a human being.
Some companies fail to create the future, not because they fail to predict it, but because they fail to imagine it. So dont imitate – innovate. Its better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation, and to succeed we need more, not fewer nonconformists. These talented individuals are mobile monopolies with global passports.
They control the key to competitiveness, the scarcest recourse: competence. Managers and politicians will have to learn how to deal with people who are free to  KNOW  GO  DO  and  BE

Powerful Presentations

that draw the listener in

Connecting to the Audience through Connection to Self

Bringing ‘who you are’ to ‘what you do’ creates Powerful Presentations

OVERVIEW

Work shopping with Actors, Directors and Corporate Leaders, has shown me that there is no worthwhile Product without Process. Likewise, to be a Powerful Speaker, in small meeting groups, or large conferences, first you need to investigate the process of Storytelling. But then … who’s story are you telling … and why are you telling it?
It seems naturally better if it’s your own, and if not, then you still need to personally connect to it. Otherwise, it will only ever be about the words, and all the listener will get from it is information and literal meaning. So a great Story Telling Presenter, must be relaxed, present and authentically connected to their material (their words) This means that as with any great Performing Artist, all the specific, personal connections to ones own life need to be made. Fearlessly connecting to these, bringing them into the present, informs your words and strengthens your images. This relates specifically to what all good naturalistic Actors do, and this personalized preparation will empower your Presentation, drawing the listener in.
This process creates effective, powerful speaking, with authentic humor, emotional clarity and inspirational honesty. You connect, and are therefor remembered.

THE PROCESS

To work with David you will need a 2-3 minute snip of a real Presentation you have made, or will make in the near future Either memorized or with notes (no associated slide packs please) Simply starting where you are now, we assess what vocal and personal connection skills will help you move forward with:
• Relaxation
• Clarity
• Authenticity
• Believability
• Like-ability

VOCAL WILL

Vocal Will is also finding improved vocal clarity and power through this personal relationship to the material. If necessary this can then be supercharged by technically improving your vocal skills with simple tools such as:
– Finding your Natural Voice (Relaxation) – Total Breath (Diaphragmatic Breathing) – Vocal Clarity (Vowels and Consonants)
