LEADING FROM THE STAGE: PRESENTATION, COMMUNICATION, INNOVATION
If you are a manager, team leader, project leader, or if you are responsible for getting the work done though other people, you must be able to connect with your audience! Top performer is a term that can be applied equally to someone at work or someone on stage. Although, if you’re a “leader” of any kind, you’re actually on stage a
t the office. After all, people are looking at you for direction and to meet their needs. How do you reach your audience when you’re in the spotlight either metaphorically (leading a team or project) or literally (giving a presentation)? Effective leadership is a conversation not a command. You need to “read the room,” listen and respond to feedback, and act accordingly. Whether you want to improve your presentation skills, communicate more effectively with your team, or come up with innovative solutions with your group, the audience always comes first. Leading From the Stage changes the way you think about leadership by focussing on the wider meaning of the word performance. Through simple exercises, clear explanations, and entertaining demonstrations you discover how when you put the audience first you no longer need to tell people what to do—they’re already doing it.
