This is my assessment of her some of her skills. I have not looked at her platform skills but I can share a lot about her online presence. Here are things that I think she does quite well.

1. She listens to your questions and attempts to respond with the right answer.

2. Her voice tone is not hurried but encouraging you to try the sometimes daunting tasks.

3. Her energy level is high without sounding like she had too much coffee or cocaine.

4. She defines her terms not assuming that everyone will understand them

5. She involves her audience in the training by asking questions via online polls during her webinars.

7. Her vocal inflection gives a high level of importance and meaning to her words.

8. She shows concern for her audience. She dosen’t sound like the “Show me the money” type of presenter.

9. She spells out all of her url’s if they are not shown on the screen. She will, at times, also spell them out for listeners who are driving and not close to their computers.

10. She challenges her students with ACTION STEPS within a defined time period.

Ok, that was only 1o there are more. But if you want to experiance some of her material you can grab a free special report and e-course.
Keep peeking over the shoulders of those you hear. Observe how well they are presenting to you. Also, assess the things they are doing that you do not want to add to your tool box of delivery skills.

Have you ever conducted a webinar but had problems with technical stuff like, no sound, no visual, no reason for it to mess up your session?

Well, I decided to share some references I found that might help you. I am also convinced that you should cautiously use a service that does ot allow an opportunity  to call for technical support during your presentation. Of course if you do not have access it is critical that you do some kind of rehearsal prior to the session with a staff member or friend.

What do you think?

Here are a couple of articles to check out. Some of them are directed to you as an audience member and others are for you the presenter. Many are the instructions given by particular webinar services. But I thought there were some good tips that can be mulled over and considered for implementation.

Now I am not suggesting that you ignore the fact that your [...]]]> Program your mind to have energy even if you are tired when presenting online. A tired voice only convinces folks that you stayed up half the night preparing for the presentation. It may also mean that you had techno issues  that wore you out.

Now I am not suggesting that you ignore the fact that your are tired and need to rest. What I am suggesting is that you do not allow the tired, f atique heavy voice  to dampen your enthusiasm you need for your message.

Imagine the internet marketer who is sharing their unique product offer during a teleseminar saying. “I am so excited about this product, it will transform your online marketing.” If that line of text is delivered with a lack luster tone contradicting any real excitement you think the listeners will be convinced?

Sometimes I hear online marketers also deliver a line like the one above with a “matter of fact tone of voice.” It is almost as if they are required to share that line with you and cannot wait to just finish and crash.

So what am I suggesting?

I am suggesting that you even if you are tired, drink some water , remind yourself why presenting and force yourself to be energetic. Carefully, take breaths before words that need energy and speak slowing so you can place inflection on key words like “excited” and”transform”

Just remember, it is your message, your product and your responsibility persuade your listeners.

Please share your thoughts

As the presenter you can:

Yet, you get rapid messages via your email, or the teleseminar system you are using saying that they [...]]]> Point out your mistakes when you are speaking and teach a powerful lesson.

You are doing a teleseminar when all of a sudden instead of pressing the speaker button you press the mute button. No one hears you. Yet, you get rapid messages via your email, or the teleseminar system you are using saying that they cannot hear you?

Of course you are not happy about this but there is little time for red faces or sad commentaries on your feelings of failure. You unpress the mute button and explain what happened.  Use it as an opportunity to share what could have happened if you decided to ignore it or did not continue to moniter the screen for messages and questions.

Of course there a lots of mistakes you can make while speaking online but it is all part of the expertise grooming. And trust me when I say even the top experts still make mistakes.

1. Showcase upbeat music for your listening audience before you even open your mouth.

2. Identify the name of the broadcast before you say your own name.

3. Pick up the pitch of your voice when you say the name.

4. Introduce yourself and your topic as if you were introducing a star.

5. Consider asking a question before you go into your topic.

6. Consider telling a really short anecdote and transition to your topic.

7. Use a rhythmic style when doing all of the above.

These suggested strategies can engage your audience in the very beginning of your presentation and keep them listening longer. The only thing that will HURT will be boredom.

Give them a try.

A simple solution [...]]]> Have you ever heard internet marketers who sound as if they have to go to the bathroom or catch the train. they are rushing through their material and breathing very fast. If you listen closely you can even hear them swallow in the middle of a sentence because they ran out of air.

A simple solution is to stop, pause and breath. It is also better to breath from the diaphragm rather than from your chest where you will sound like you are running out of air. Now, does it stop folks from hanging on to your money making suggestions? NO, they will still cling to every breath and even offer you a virtual glass of water if you start coughing as long as you don’t stop.

But it can hurt you and future preformance. So please stop and breath.

You can still share a great deal of information with your audience without sounding rushed or manic.
