You're an ambitious high-flyer!
You’ve got drive and ambition and you make presenting look easy!Strong, bold and confident. That’s your style.I’ll tell you a secret. When you present, other people look at you and admire your confidence and relaxed style.You are concise and get to the point quickly. This is especially powerful when presenting to senior leaders. They don’t want all the detail and you give them exactly what they want.You’re quick and can think on your feet. You can answer any question and handle any comment coming your way.If you were a dessert, you'd be dark chocolate mousse. Strong, packed with flavour, no frills or fuss.These are your strengths. Keep reading for your customized plan to take your presentations to the next level.Connect with your audience. Used to relying on yourself and working quickly. Without connection, your audience will disengage from you and your presentation. Here are two things you can do to connect with your audience: First up: smiling. Do more of this :) You don't have to be a clown with a smile permanently painted on. No, stay natural but focus on smiling more during your presentations.Use their names. When you're asked a question, you can say 'Great question, Ben.' or 'Yes, I agree, Denise'. Simple use of people's names will increase the connection you have with your audience.Slow down. Quick to make decisions. Quick speech. Your audience can miss your key messages when you speak to fast. Or when you don't explain complex concepts in more detail. This is especially true when presenting virtually.Slow down. General rule of thumb: if you think you're at the right pace, you're likely too fast.There you go! Your customized plan to take your presentations to the next level.HI! I'M JEANETTESpeaker, Presenter, Facilitator, Professional Coach.and when there's time also photographer. I’m proudly South African. My heart beats for picturesque South Africa. African sunsets. Safaris. A beautiful and resilient nation. I lived in Singapore for 4 years. Loved the last-minute weekend trips to a Thailand beach. Pool-side frozen margaritas (now I’m alcohol-free) brought to me by a waiter on roller-blades. Now my home is Germany. I fell in love with Germany on my first evening at a Christmas market. Cold, crisp air. Cozy in a warm jacket and boots. Roasted nuts. Christmas trees and decorations everywhere.Hardest thing I ever did? Quit smoking. I’m trilingual. I speak Afrikaans, English and German. Sure, I’ll say something in all three languages!'Nice to meet you!''Lekker om jou te ontmoet!''Schön dich kennen zu lernen.'My best friends are my brothers. They know me as I’ve always been. My best holiday was a two-week (4200km) road trip through Namibia. The beauty of that country… I love everything that has ‘Sunday’ in front of it. Sunday brunch. Sunday walks. Sunday church. Sunday afternoon naps. Sunday night movies.WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY "Jeanette is not only an effective coach and facilitator, she brings a strong commercial background, passion and high degree of integrity to her work.
