Seriously… Go Naked At Your Next Presentation!
Many months ago, I wrote an entry encouraging you to go naked at your presentations. How is it coming along?
In case you are wondering if I have gone out of my mind, the answer is YES… and NO. Yes, because there is still so much to pack for my trip to Sri Lanka and no in the context of this entry. Going naked in your presentation is about stripping back to the bare necessities… here is Garr and my list combined of how you can go naked in your next presentation. If you are lazy, you can watch a quick summary of some of the pointers via the video presentation below.
• Be present in the moment. Right here right now. Do not be occupied with thoughts of the future, of thoughts concerning what the results of your presentation might lead to. Do not ask about origins and ends leaving the moment forgotten. When you are with your audience, all that matters is that moment.
• Don’t try to impress. Instead try to, share, help, inspire, teach, inform, guide, persuade, motivate… or make the world a little bit better.
• Keep the lights on. Find a compromise between a bright screen and enough room light for you to be seen. Do not hide in the dark — the audience came to see you as well as hear you.
• Forget the podium. Move away from obstacles that are between you and the audience.
• Use a small remote allowing you to have the freedom to move around the room/stage as you like.
• Don’t attempt to hide. What’s the point? Do not be evasive intellectually or physically.
• Do not become attached to your software — if your computer crashes, screw it…the show must go on immediately, not after you have rebooted. Stuff happens, move on. Your message is far greater than the technology helping you.
• Keep it simple. All of it. Simple goals, clear messages, and moderation in length.
• Are you just a bit cheeky? Then that should show in your presentations too. Let your personality shine through. Why hide one of your biggest differentiators?
• Be credible.
• Do not use “corporate-speak” — speak like a human being. You can not be naked if you say something like “best practices” or “empowering a new paradigm.”
• Think of your audience as being active participants not passive listeners (”Passive listener” = oxymoron?).
• Be comfortable with yourself being “naked.” It takes practice and it takes confidence. The confidence comes with practice. Audiences hate arrogance and cockiness, but they love confidence…if it is genuine.
• Never decorate your messages or your supporting visuals. Decoration is veneer. Think design, but never decoration. Design is soul deep, decoration is “Happy Birthday” placed atop a sponge cake.
• Think in terms of what makes a good meal and good design. Think balance, harmony, variety…and content that leaves them satisfied and delighted, yet wanting more.
• Find your internal message! What is it that you truly want to share with your audience? (To learn how to uncover your internal message, click here)
• Be conversational. Put aside your “stage voice” and just be yourself. Talk to your audience like they are your friends.
• Share personal anecdotes that relate to your message or a particular point you are making. Stories offer a dimension of authenticity and depth. It engages your audience and draws them into your presentation. Very powerful stuff! In fact, I would encourage you to start creating a story bank. Note down interesting things that happen to you. Categorize them if you want to. The next time you need to give a presentation, refer to your story bank and pick an appropriate tale to tell.
Enjoy the wind while you are naked!
Cheers,
Eric Feng

A very interesting website. I plan to access it again when I get home and have more time. There is much I need to look into here.
Your site is a refreshing change from the majority of sites I have visited. When I first started visiting web sites I was excited by the potential of the internet as a resource and was very disappointed initially. You have restored my enthusiasm and I thank you for your efforts to share your insights and help the world become a better place.
