[EP.92] One Way to Crush your Next Virtual Presentation

One Way to Crush your Next Virtual Presentation;

Remember when the pandemic began?

Zoom fatigue was (and still is) real.

The worst thing was, all virtual presentations kinda sucked (and still do).

Lighting - we looked like we were streaming live from our mom's basement.

Audio - we sounded like we were speaking inside of a fish bowl.

Video - we forgot nobody wants to see our dirty laundry in the background.

Right?

But as they say, you can't put lipstick on a pig.

Meaning, you can have the most beautiful setup...

But, if you can't get your audience's attention and keep it, you have no chance at earning the opportunity to become their trusted guide.

Attention is the currency of the modern world.

Want to learn how to ethically steal it in broad daylight?

Then today’s episode is for you my friend!

WHAT WE DISCUSS:

• [4:25] - Step 1: Low-friction question, yes or no response
• [7:52] - Step 2: Medium-friction question, quantitative response
• [9:49] - Step 3: High-friction question, qualitative response
• [11:45] - 3 steps to contextualize and test the framework

3 STEPS TO TEST THE STACK-THE-MOMENTUM METHOD:

• Step 1: Write down your three questions before your next low stakes virtual presentation.
• Step 2: Use it in a low-risk scenario, possibly at the beginning of your presentation.
• Step 3: Use it in a high-stakes scenario and review the recording to see where you can improve.
