So often, we are pitching our companies to new prospects and potential investors, but the slightest wrong move, especially in the beginning, can throw the whole impression off. This week’s guest talks about how to create a memorable impression that gets people calling you back.

Ronny Leber is an expert on Public Speaking and loves to motivate his listeners and create magical moments that enhance team-building skills. Not only is Ronny a renowned keynote speaker, but he is also a TV host and legacy coach that has entertained millions of people worldwide.

The biggest mistake Ronny sees with new speakers is that they’re way too focused on themselves. The reality is, that people don’t particularly care about your product, company, or who you are until they know you can solve a very critical problem they’re having. The world is not waiting for you!

It begins with a bit of empathy and understanding your clients’ needs and wants first. Part of Ronny’s job is to take the audience through an emotion and create build-up, mystery, and intensity, before giving them the big show. However, in order to do that, you need to be in their heads, hearts, and souls.

How do you create a magical moment for your investor or even your employees? It starts with being able to be in the moment and not in your head. If you’re too in your head, the presentation does not come off natural, and you won’t be able to move with the audience and their needs. It’s important not only to have an outline in your presentation but also to be open to the flow of how people are interacting with you.
