Are you a star at show and tell?
September 23, 2007
Hello,
Are You A Star AT Show and Tell?
STARS ALSO KNOW HOW TO USE THE RIGHT MESSAGE WITH THE right audience at the right time. They are superb communicators. But being a good communicator doesn't mean always "being on." In fact, one of the things that average performers do wrong is to over communicate: Every day, they send another memo to the boss. They chatter on, but they have really done anything to contribute. People turn a deaf ear to them. Star performers know how to time their message, and how to craft them, so people pay attention.
If you want to excel at "show and tell," understand your audience: What moves people in a particular audience? What do they listen to? What languages makes sense to them? For one person, it's going to be dollars; for another, it's going to be values. You match that language with the way you deliver information---whether you're making a presentation, sending a memo, or cornering someone in the hallway to test an idea. Figure out the message that moves people, put it into the language they speak, and deliver it in a way that works for them.
Let me know what you though about this little bit of information.......will it help you can you apply what you just read...........Post your comments and let's all learn from this!
Regards.

The best investment you will every make in "ALL" aspects of life; is your abilities.................learning simple concepts..........then applying them and reaping in the compliments you have just earned, is better then any pay check.............."YOU KNOW WHY"............
This is called a sizzle cause most are asking why did "HE" not share...............THE WHY.......
For the simple reason if you do not know the answer you may just ask my wh

You are right. I see people post article after article, revpage after revpage... And there are some people that obviously have nothing better to do than post news in Augine. Reason for me that i set almost all my sites to "need approval". Because they keep posting English messages on sites of which I stated that only messages in Dutch are accepted. I even send them a PM about that which they obviously did not read. There is nothing wrong with advertising yourself or your programs occasionally in

It would be nice if more people understood the concept. We don't all come out of the same mold and we all don't respond to the same things. Most will never understand this they will continue on with the hype and the make millions overnight and they will continue to get nowhere.

Well Chuck, show and tell is all about keeping an audience focus on your subject. Getting the audience involved in your subject is a KEY to getting a good review from your presentation.
in my work l do a lot of presentation, l always try and get someone early in my presentation involved then l try to add another one and before you know it all are invovled.......It is an Art, one that can be easily learned and applied.............
Thank you for your kind words Chuck.......
