Guest Introduction and Topic Overview
00:01:12
Speaker
Welcome back to the Policy Viz Podcast. I'm your host, John Schwabisch. Are you interested in improving how you deliver your presentations? Are you interested in creating better slides and learning what not to do with your slides? Well, this episode of the podcast is for you. I'm very excited to have Andrea Pacini join me on the show. Andrea is from Ideas On Stage, where they work with presenters from a whole host of sectors.
00:01:41
Speaker
And Andrea is going to talk about how to improve the way you present your information, particularly on some of the coaching that they do at Ideas On Stage. So I'm very excited to talk with Andrea. I was on the Ideas On Stage podcast just a couple of months ago, so it was great to have him join me on this show. So with no further ado, let's get right to it. Here is my conversation with Andrea on this week's episode of the Policy Vis podcast. Hey, Andrea, good to see you. Welcome to the show. How are things?
00:02:12
Speaker
Great to see you too, John. Great to see you again. Thanks for having me. Yeah. How are things? I'm good. Very good. Everything okay? What about you?
00:02:20
Speaker
It's getting cooler here in Virginia. So, which is fine. I'm good with the fall. So I'm, I'm, I'm perfectly happy to have a little bit cooler here. So I'm excited to have you on because you very kindly invited me to your podcast and we talked more about data visualization. So I think this is a good sort of partnering episode because we'll talk about presentation skills, which is what you do over ideas on stage. So I thought maybe we just start with introductions, you know, your background and how you got to ideas on stage and what your role is
Mission and Approach of Ideas On Stage
00:02:50
Speaker
there.
00:02:50
Speaker
Yeah, sure. So I'm the head of Ideas On Stage UK. I'm in London. So I look after our clients in the UK. You know Phil Wecknell, who looks after our clients in France. He's based in Paris. And in terms of background, John, the reason why I do what I do, and also the reason why I ended up then with Ideas On Stage is because when I was a little kid growing up in Italy,
00:03:20
Speaker
I grew up in a family of very small business owners. My parents have always been running their own very small business together. They still do. And so as a kid, I saw their challenges because raising four kids while trying to run a business is not easy. But I also saw their spark and entrepreneurial mindset and proactive approach to life. And so that's why I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, to run my own thing.
00:03:48
Speaker
Now, in reality, there remained a dream for a long time, because before doing what I do now, I tried many things, all of them failed. But it was useful, because in that process, what I realized was that there are so many great ideas that fail,
00:04:05
Speaker
not because of the ideas themselves, but just because of the way we present them. And that's why, John, to cut it short, eventually, that's why I became a presentation coach. That's why today, my mission is to stop great ideas from failing, just because of the way they are presented. And at Ideas On Stage, our vision is to help hundreds of thousands
Presentation Skills and Strategies
00:04:28
Speaker
of
00:04:29
Speaker
business leaders inspire the audiences, increase the influence, and why not make a positive impact in the world?
00:04:37
Speaker
Yeah. So tell me a little bit about those business leaders. Do they come to you generally with a specific presentation and a specific problem, or are they just coming to you and saying, look, I want to be a better presenter? I'm guessing it's a little bit of both. And then what I'm really curious in, and I think we should spend much time talking about it, is the coaching aspect of things. So what does that look like? What's that process like? And then I'm going to sort of quiz you on some of your
00:05:05
Speaker
the top and bottom like things that people do. But yeah, who are the folks that are coming to you all? And then what does that coaching play? Yeah, so it's, as you said, a bit of both. So when it comes to one-to-one coaching with entrepreneurs, business owners, business leaders, either they come to us because they have an important presentation coming up.
00:05:27
Speaker
And they want to be prepared for that presentation so we prepared that presentation together from any perspective, message visuals, the way they deliver the message, so it's not just, it's the content which is the more we do work on the content which I believe is the most important thing. But it's also about how you deliver your content.
00:05:46
Speaker
But you don't have to have an actual presentation coming up. Often we have people who come to us because even if they are not working on a particular presentation, they simply want to improve their general presentation skills because for them, presenting is an important part of what they do.
00:06:02
Speaker
So these two situations, then also we work with groups. So we run presentation skills, workshops for groups of people, again, who want to improve or even transform their ability to pitch, present and communicate their ideas.
00:06:18
Speaker
Now, in terms of the coaching, you asked about the process. Now, the way it works is this. It doesn't really matter. So if you have an actual presentation coming up, then the coaching is based around that particular presentation. So as we prepare the presentation together, there's also a coaching element so that even after the presentation, you can go back to the process and apply over and over again to all your future presentations. That's how we like to work.
00:06:46
Speaker
If you don't have an actual presentation coming up, what we like to do is we create a test presentation together with a client. So we want to make it practical, relevant to them, not theoretical. And we ask our clients to think about a scenario, a typical scenario, which means, okay, who is your audience normally? And what's your topic? What do you want to talk about?
00:07:08
Speaker
So we start from the scenario, and we create a test presentation. And the process is this. There are five steps for us, John. The first one, we call it foundation. The foundation of the presentation process is about understanding your audience, knowing how to analyze your audience, their needs, and the context. Because if we don't do that, it's very hard to create a presentation which is relevant to them. And we have frameworks to do that.
00:07:36
Speaker
The second step, we call it ideation. So we need to understand, and this is part of the coaching, we need to understand and we need to know and practice how to generate ideas, how to identify a key messages. We need to brainstorm in a structured way, thinking about what do we want our audience to know after the presentation? What do they need to feel after the presentation? What do they need to do? What actions do we want them to take? So that's the ideation piece.
00:08:04
Speaker
The third step is creation. Once we have ideas, we need to be able to translate these ideas into a clear and engaging storyline. A storyline is a presentation structure from the beginning to the end. So at the beginning, how do you capture the audience's attention?
00:08:20
Speaker
How do you communicate your key messages in a clear way? All the way to the conclusion. You want to conclude in an effective way with a clear punchline. So that's the creation piece. Then step number four, illustration. This is not always needed. For example, you are very strong when it comes to slide design yourself, also from a data visualization perspective.
00:08:41
Speaker
No, we don't have to, but often using a tool like PowerPoint or any other tool, it doesn't make any difference, but we need to do it well. We need to avoid the typical death by PowerPoint, as you know. And then the last piece is the connection element, which means that presenters need to be able to make a good connection with the audience. And so we work on that delivery skills as well.
00:09:04
Speaker
So first it's the message, then it's the visual aspect, if needed, and then it's the way you deliver your message. John, and then I'll stop here, is that when we think about presentation skills, many people immediately assume
00:09:20
Speaker
that we are talking about delivery. And delivery is an important aspect. But for me, it's 20%. 80% is your message. If you don't have
Avoiding Slide Pitfalls and Building Confidence
00:09:30
Speaker
a compelling message, which is simple, clear, relevant to the audience, it doesn't matter how beautiful your slides are. It also doesn't matter how good you are from a delivery perspective.
00:09:41
Speaker
Right. And it sounds like this five step process is really like, if I summarize it, it's about strategizing, right? It's about building that strategy as opposed to what I think probably most people do, which is they open PowerPoint or Google slides or whatever, and they just start making slides, but they don't set up this strategy to
00:10:02
Speaker
think about what they want to show or say and how they want to, how they want to say it. So when you work with folks, how do you maybe rein them in a little bit from saying, Oh, we just got to go and make the slides and then I'll be okay. And then I could just talk through them. Like, how do you pull people back? Cause I'm guessing that's, that's most people's sort of like instinct is I'll make the slides and then I'll just kind of talk through them.
00:10:27
Speaker
Yeah, you're right. And it's one of the key mistakes we see that the very first thing most people do is they just open PowerPoint, or again, any other presentation tool, and they put together some slides, we know that that's not the first step. And, and yes, so it's part of the
00:10:45
Speaker
education that you need to do with your audience, with your network, with your clients, potential clients. And part of that education is making people understand that if they want to become more confident presenters, more impactful, more effective communicators,
00:11:04
Speaker
A lot of people think that confidence comes from either wishful thinking, innate self belief or natural talent. Or a lot of people think that again, it comes just from your delivery skills. But no, confidence has nothing to do with that. Confidence comes from what you said, the strategy, the process, there's a structured way of thinking about presenting.
00:11:28
Speaker
And not following the structure of the process is often what creates discomfort when we are in front of an audience. It's
Enhancing Delivery Skills
00:11:35
Speaker
also what often creates fear of public speaking, for example. And also, part of the education is for people to understand that confidence also comes from familiarity, has nothing to do with PowerPoint. Familiarity means that the more familiar we are with a certain
00:11:55
Speaker
situation, the more we do certain things, the more confident we become at doing those things, including presenting, speaking in public. For example, John, some time ago, I watched a video of Kobe Bryant. He was answering some questions. It was an interview. And one of the one of the questions was, Kobe, how is it possible that every time I see you playing, you always look so confident?
00:12:24
Speaker
And he said, the only reason why you think I look confident is because when you see me doing certain things, I've done those things 1000 times before. And he said, confidence comes from preparation. And the process that we talked about is part of that preparation. So it's about trying to make our audience understand that that's what really makes a difference.
00:12:51
Speaker
Right. So I'm curious about the part of the coaching where you help people actually speak
00:13:00
Speaker
better. So I completely understand this. If I strategize and I plan and I have a goal in mind and I have all of the foundations and the ideation, I have all that and I'm more familiar with my content already with those, I'm be a better speaker. How do you help people when they want to take it to that next level? What are the
00:13:24
Speaker
technique, sort of the strategies, what are the exercises you do with folks when it comes to, you know, just, you know, standing on a stage, you know, you're the CEO of some fortune 500 company and you want to be the Steve Jobs over the world, right? What does that sort of coaching look like when it comes to the actual standing front of an audience and speaking?
00:13:42
Speaker
Yeah, so so that's the delivery side of things. So how can we improve our delivery skills and the way we do and then I'll give you some practical techniques, the way we do it is whether we are working on an actual presentation or a test presentation at some point as part of a coaching program.
00:14:01
Speaker
We encourage our clients to deliver that presentation in front of us, in front of me or some of my colleagues. And then we provide feedback for improvement based on a framework that we use. Now, we have a method at Ideas On Stage. We call it presentation score. Score like in football or soccer in the US. Now, score stands for five principles.
00:14:29
Speaker
simple, clear, original, related to the audience, and enjoyable. And so all of the delivery techniques are based around this framework. Now, simple, for example, the way you speak simply is one of the things you can do is you need to learn to use simple language, simple words, simple sentences, conversational language, everyday language. And there are exercises to work on that.
00:14:54
Speaker
also avoiding verbal fillers, filler words, things like um are like for example, if you want to avoid verbal fillers, the only solution is awareness, you need to be aware of whether or not you are using any kind of verbal fillers like you know, actually, you know, you know, I don't know. That's why I'm watching your presentation. Yeah.
00:15:12
Speaker
and and so to make you aware either you work with a presentation coach or you can record yourself and you can watch the recording and you can count for example as a practical exercise you can count and you write it down how many times you use any kind of verbal feelers and then it's just a matter of practicing practicing practicing but if you practice
00:15:35
Speaker
while being aware of something, it's going to be easier to avoid it. These are a couple of things then. Before you go on, I want to reinforce that because when I first started doing, you know, sort of bigger presentations, one of the things I did, I had, I was invited to give sort of a, you know, a talk I was pretty nervous about was at a like big data vis conference. And it was the first time I actually recorded myself, I just use the like voice
00:16:02
Speaker
notes app on the iPhone and exactly what you just said. I could count immediately within the first 30, 45 seconds of listening to myself, just practicing. I could pick up those us and arms right away. And just like you said, you could hear yourself and it is difficult. I think everybody agrees. It's difficult to listen to yourself, which is why I think working with you and your team is so valuable, right? Because I don't have to listen to my recording. You can give me the live feedback.
00:16:29
Speaker
But you can immediately hear yourself with those verbal filler words or verbal ticks. And just counting them, I think is such a good tip for people. And it doesn't have to be particularly difficult to do. You just record yourself on whatever. And you know, we all have these recording devices all over the place and then just listen to yourself and you're set to go. So anyway, sorry, I want to interrupt because that's such a great lesson that I think people can take away. So, okay. So verbal ticks. So that's one thing.
00:16:56
Speaker
The other one was also using simple language. Right. Also, if you want to speak clearly we work with our clients to help them from time to time, slow down, or even better pose.
00:17:12
Speaker
We need to have the courage to pose. Dale Carnegie said, apparently, that silence is one of the most eloquent things in the world. And I love that quote because you have silence and eloquence, which is all about speaking. So it looks like a contradiction, but it's not. Silence is very powerful in communication. So I'll give you a practical technique for you, John, for our listeners.
00:17:36
Speaker
If you want to train yourself to slow down, to pose before or after an important message, because there are benefits, you give your audience time to digest your key messages, you give yourself time to think about what to say next. Every time you pose, for example, after a key message, that increases the impact of what you've just said.
00:17:56
Speaker
And an exercise is this, as you deliver your next presentation from time to time, when you think that it would make sense to pose, then try and exaggerate the pose by saying a word of your choice, it could be holidays, for example, just any word of your choice. Yeah. And you say three times.
00:18:17
Speaker
And then you continue with your presentation. And then after another pose, you say the same word three times. The idea is to exaggerate it. Of course, that's not what you want to do in the real situation. But as a rehearsal exercise, you want to exaggerate it because if you don't, and if you're not used to it, then in the real presentation with the adrenaline and everything, you will lose the pose. Whereas as an exercise, if you exaggerate it, it's going to be easier for you to find the right balance in the real presentation.
00:18:46
Speaker
So that's another technique.
00:18:49
Speaker
Another one, for example, another principle is related. From a delivery perspective means your delivery has to be connected, related to the audience. How can we make a good connection with the audience? Well, eye contact, for example. So we work with a client. Depending on what the scenario is, the way you make eye contact in person is different from the way you make eye contact online. But the principle is the same. We need to make eye contact. So we work on that.
00:19:18
Speaker
also body language posture gestures hand gestures the more you move your hands the more dynamic you are as a speaker and everybody likes dynamism but we need to understand what you know these two things john when you have a conversation with with a friend
00:19:35
Speaker
For all of us, whether we are aware of it or not, we do move our hands. And that's because we know the audience, we know a friend, we know what we're talking about. As soon as the dynamic is a little bit different, more formal, we're giving a presentation, often these two things start taking on a life of their own. We don't know what to do with them. So we work with our clients to show them what they can do with their hands.
00:19:57
Speaker
And, and then there are also things like to make your delivery more original and enjoyable. You can change your voice, you can change the way you use your voice.
00:20:08
Speaker
And this is because you want to avoid being a monotonous speaker. Nobody likes monotonous speakers. You want to become a dynamic vocal speaker. You can be dynamic with your body language. You can be dynamic with your voice. And there are exercises. And then I'll stop here, John.
00:20:27
Speaker
for you to learn how to change your voice, to make it more original and enjoyable. And the key is, to all of us, we have our own monotone, our own standard tone. And sometimes, from time to time, during a presentation, we need to find ways to move away from a standard tone. Otherwise, it's monotonous, it's boring.
00:20:50
Speaker
To do that, you need to make it pop. So for example, if you want to emphasize a word or a phrase, you can make it pop, you can punch the most important words. Now, I'm punching the word punching, you can make certain words longer to emphasize them. Now I'm making the word longer, longer, you can over articulate certain words. Again, now I'm over articulating the word over articulating.
00:21:18
Speaker
you can increase your volume. If you want the audience to pay attention to your important message, you can go up in volume. And you can achieve the same benefit by going down in volume. Why? Because anyway, you are going away from your standard tone. So you see, these are all of course, this is advanced communication skills, it does take time and practice. But
The Power of Storytelling
00:21:42
Speaker
these are the kind of exercises we use, we do when we work with our clients.
00:21:47
Speaker
Yeah, those are great. Those are great. So we've got, I think I got most of them down. So we've got simple plain language. We've got avoiding those us and um, those filler words, filler phrases. We've got adding pauses. We've got connecting with the audience through eye contact body language. And then we've got changing your voice, articulating louder, quieter.
00:22:08
Speaker
Alright, this is great. The other thing I wanted to ask you about was stories and storytelling. You've mentioned it already a couple times. This is one of the places I find when I work with people, they get a little, I'm not sure, frustrated, worried, nervous about maybe their stories aren't
00:22:29
Speaker
as engaging or as interesting. And I think a lot of people feel like the stories they need to tell in their presentation need to be some sort of like universal truth, right? It needs to be like this story that people are going to tell their kids and their grandkids. And so I'm curious about how you work with your clients and your team
00:22:49
Speaker
to help folks tell stories and how you just think about storytelling and what that means in the context of these primarily kind of business presentations where I'm guessing stories kind of have a particular meaning or approach.
00:23:07
Speaker
Sure. So storytelling, first of all, let's talk quickly about why it's so important. And the reason why it's so important is because if we look how our brain works, now we all know that people remember stories much more than just facts and figures. Now, don't get me wrong, facts and figures, very important, but we need to touch both areas of people's brain. We have the logical side, and we address that with facts and figures.
00:23:36
Speaker
But we all have the emotional side as well and we address that with storytelling analogies anecdotes, things like that. Now you're right a story doesn't have to be a once upon a time, type of story, it could be a personal story, something that happened to you.
00:23:53
Speaker
I'll give you like three categories if you want. You have personal stories, so something that happened to you. It could be a very simple example, a very brief example. It could be a story about other people, so something that happened to somebody else. Of course, John, if the story is connected to the point you want to get across, that's the key. Storytelling is not about telling a story for the sake of it. We want to tell a story to make a point because we know that when we do that,
00:24:23
Speaker
people will remember the story and the point we want to get across. So personal stories, stories about other people, stories of success. So say, for example, that you've already worked with a client, an organization, and they have already successfully implemented the strategy that you have in mind, the idea that you want to get across.
00:24:50
Speaker
Well, that's a story. So if we think about it, there's always a story to tell. And the problem with most presentations is that they are 99% facts. And then if we are lucky, 1% is a story. It's a bit unbalanced. So one of the best ways for us to make our presentations more original and enjoyable, two principles of the score method,
00:25:15
Speaker
is to use stories. And then let me give you also for listeners, a practical framework that they can apply when it comes to telling stories. You mentioned that people find it uncomfortable sometimes to tell stories. One of the reasons why that's the case is because whether we are aware of it or not, but we always make it about us.
00:25:38
Speaker
we've done that, I did that, we achieved that. And this is uncomfortable for you as the presenter. But it's also uncomfortable for the audience, you don't want to make it about you, you need to make it about them about the audience. The best framework I found, especially when you wanted to share a case study, for example, a story of success, comes from a book I read some time ago, by I think, Mike Adams,
00:26:07
Speaker
seven stories every salesperson must tell. And apart from salesperson, it's a universal framework that you can apply many different contexts. And by the way, any presentation is a sales presentation if we really think about it, but we can talk about it later if you want. Now, the framework is these four steps, setting, complication, turning point, resolution.
00:26:33
Speaker
setting is as simple as time and place. So if you say you are in front of an audience, for example, last year, we worked with the name of the client in Virginia, or in London, so time and place. As soon as you start with a sentence with time and place, the audience knows that you are about to tell them a story to give them an example, then
00:26:59
Speaker
complication. Here, you want to briefly explain the complication from the perspective of the client. That's the key. It's not about you. So these are the challenges, the obstacles, the problem that the client or whatever you're talking about is, was facing before they met you. Then turning point. Here, yes, you have an opportunity to talk about what you've done with with the client. For example, if we take this example of a client,
00:27:27
Speaker
And so you have an opportunity to explain how you've helped the client. But then the other key here is the fourth step, the resolution. This is, again, the resolution from the perspective of the client. So this is the success, the outcome that the client has achieved. This is what they achieved. This is what they did, not what you did.
00:27:52
Speaker
And that's the key. This is something that also Donald Miller talks about in his book, Building a Storybrand. He says that you are not the hero of the story. Your client or your audience is the hero of the story. That's why we need to make it about them.
00:28:07
Speaker
And once we understand that our role, as Mila says, our role is not the role of a hero. Our role is the role of a guide who gives the hero, the client, the audience, a plan, an idea, an insight, a product, a service that helps them solve the complication and get to the resolution. Once we understand that,
Tools for Planning and Brainstorming
00:28:28
Speaker
then everything changes from a storytelling perspective.
00:28:31
Speaker
Terrific. That's great. So I think folks have a good, hopefully have a good sense of why stories are important, how to at least think about framing their stories, and then they can go forward. And of course, I'll put links to all the books you just mentioned and ideas on stage on the show notes for the episode. One last thing I wanted to ask you about, you mentioned PowerPoint. Obviously,
00:28:56
Speaker
the tools don't really matter. They're all more or less the same. But I'm curious about some of the tools that you and your team use that listeners might either want to try or add to their arsenal. So are there aside from, you know, I'm sure it's, you know, PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote. Are there other tools that you're using, other design tools, other resources that you're using that folks should put into their, onto their list of things that they should look into?
00:29:26
Speaker
The best tool I use, and I would recommend everybody to use it, is just a blank piece of paper. That's the most important tool. John Cleese said that we don't know where we get our ideas from.
00:29:45
Speaker
But what we do know is that we don't get them from our laptops. We don't get them from tools. So for me, just a blank piece of paper, a whiteboard, posting notes, a flip chart. These are the best tools. Gar Reynolds talks about planning analog, the importance of planning analog in preparation for your presentations instead of going digital.
00:30:08
Speaker
Now, having said that, one tool which is not strictly connected to presenting, it can be used depending on the context. I use it, for example, when we have brainstorming sessions with our clients. So we said at the very beginning, as part of the process, you want to generate ideas. Miro is, I guess you are familiar with it,
00:30:33
Speaker
It's a great tool for brainstorming to generate ideas for creativity. So if you want to have one tool, this is the one that comes to mind. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, I mean, I'm with you. I mean, I work analog. I like to write and sketch. I do tell people that analog for them could mean
00:30:54
Speaker
a Google Doc or Word Doc. I mean, I think a lot of people feel better working on their laptop. I mean, I'm with you that like drawing is the way to go and sketching and just writing things down. But I think for a lot of people, maybe they're not ready for that. And so the thing that I recommend is just don't start in
00:31:14
Speaker
PowerPoint, even though one could argue that PowerPoint's a great sketching tool because it's a blank canvas, but I think you're just too inclined to add bullet points and start building these whatever PowerPoint or Google pushes you towards. I think starting with that blank canvas, as you mentioned, is a better way to start.
00:31:34
Speaker
I agree with you 100%. Yeah, it could be a Word document, Google, absolutely. And you're right, the issue, the temptation, if you want, when we open a PowerPoint or a presentation tool, is that we are incentivized to follow the tool, to follow the template, insert a title here, insert some bullet points here, add an image here. No.
00:31:55
Speaker
we want to start with our message and then we want to ask ourselves, first of all, does it make sense to illustrate the message? Because who says that we need to use PowerPoint all the time? Right. If the answer is yes, and only if the answer is yes, then we can come up with ideas for us to be able to support, reinforce and amplify a message for the audience to be able to understand and remember it better.
00:32:24
Speaker
And those ideas, 100% of the time, have nothing to do with the tool, with the template. Yeah. Excellent.
Resources and Conclusion
00:32:32
Speaker
Great stuff. Great lessons here. So before we go, where can folks find you? Where can they find ideas on the stage? And where can they find more resources or get in touch with you to help them improve their presentation skills?
00:32:48
Speaker
Thank you, John, I appreciate it. So our website, our company website is ideasonstage.com. For me personally, they can find the main platform I use on social media is LinkedIn. So they can find me there with my name and
00:33:05
Speaker
One free reserves that could be useful for your listeners is the confident presenter scorecard, which is an online tool that people can take to very quickly assess the current presentation skills. It's a self-assessment exercise. It takes less than three minutes. It's free. You just need to answer a few questions and then you get a score from zero to 100 percent.
00:33:32
Speaker
the tool tells you what the score means for you. And he also identifies opportunities for improvement. When you complete the scorecard, then after that, you also get access to other free resources like where presentation skills web classes, you get access to a copy of my book, for example, for free confident presenter. And the link for that is our website ideas on stage.com forward slash score, like the method we talked about S C O R E.
00:34:03
Speaker
