11 Jul 11 Tips for Effective Corporate Presentation

A good corporate presentation before the board members or a panel of good judges is what we all love to watch, experience and give. But how many of us know what it takes to deliver a perfect corporate presentation before the audience. Here is a list of factors that make a good presentation.

Eye contact with the audience

What’s most important in a formal presentation is making eye contact with the audience. Look into the eyes of your audience, sitting in front of you. Don’t make eye contact with a specific person, but with your entire audience. Otherwise you are not engaging your audience, you are just giving presentation and talking to your own self. If your eyes are wandering here and there, or gazing at the PowerPoint slides or looking down you are actually responsible for the lack of attention of your audience. They may get bored and look for some other subjects of interest. Make enough of eye contact, but don’t keep staring at someone for long it may look flirtatious or intruding into privacy.

Let your personality speak

Your personality has an aura, let it radiate when you are presenting. Be yourself, let your true self impress all. Don’t think much about the audience in front of you, just shoot your best. Whether the audience is corporate members or critics, show your character, charm, right voice pitch, pronunciation, command over the subject, confidence and knowledge. Don’t present like a robot, add spice to the presentation. You may make some movements, but it should be natural.

Too much of text

Too much of text can be fatal for your presentation. Always remember people are not interested in reading long paragraphs, they are interested in listening to you instead. So keep your text input bare minimum, don’t let it destroy nice visuals or the layout. You may use text in form of short sentences, bullets, flowcharts, and as headers.

Don’t preach, interact

No one likes to be preached, taught, so talk to your audience, interact with them in the language they know. Keep the presentation formal yet conversational. It will also keep them interested and attentive. You may ask questions, ask for suggestions and tips, let them ask questions.

Keep it light and amusing

Despite the fact that it’s a formal presentation keep it simple, light hearted and interesting. It’s always good when people laugh with you. It will not only keep the audience engaged and alert, but they will look forward to hear more from you; because they may learn from you and not get educated and taught.

Keep these simple things in mind and your presentation may take you to places.

26 Dec 10 How to Achieve Spiritual Enlightenment?

Do you wish to awaken your spiritual self and gain spiritual enlightenment? It won’t happen overnight, but dedication and focus will help you gain the ultimate enlightenment. Most of us don’t know our inner selves. Life is not all about materialistic gains, prestige and success. Don’t lead an ordinary life without realizing what life is all about. Know the person within you. Spiritual enlightenment will help you to realize the person within you, your dreams and aspirations, destiny, purpose of life. You will have much more control on your emotions. Here are few tips regarding how to awaken your soul and achieve spiritual enlightenment.

Know the ‘inner you’

Don’t forget the person within you is the true ‘you’, your spiritual self. Your true self won’t lie to you. You are a spiritual being captivated in a physical body. Your ideal self may lie to you, but you are what your true self is. Don’t let your physical self disconnect from your spiritual self. Don’t let your spiritual self sleep for too long that it becomes difficult to awaken. Find your spiritual being. When you will get to find your true spiritual self, your life will be overwhelmed with love, passion, peace, harmony and endless happiness.

Relax and distress your mind

Let your mind rest, relax and breathe freely. Don’t suffocate your mind with daily stress. Don’t think too much about troubles; treat them as passing phases of life. If you clutter your mind with too many troubles, you will fail to cope with life and your spiritual self will be suffocated. If you let your mind relax and breathe freely, more positive thoughts will embrace you with fresh gush of ideas and lot of peace and contentment. A relaxed mind will provide you with immense strength and courage in time of need.

Get rid of ambiguities

Remove all doubts from your mind. Mere doubts and ambiguity of thoughts can take you away from your spiritual self. Clear your doubts, come out with a single outcome even if it’s not desired. Clarify things right from the beginning and free your mind from all doubts and dualities.

Embrace positivity

Let positive thoughts embrace you always. If you are surrounded by dishonest, selfish, materialistic people change your company. Negative thoughts will not only make you live an artificial life but also take you miles away from your spiritual self. Thinking good will make you do good.

27 Sep 10 How to Become a Strong Woman?

World has always remained male dominated and male driven. Where power comes naturally to men, women have to acquire it, fight for it, and become really strong to find a space for herself in this world. A strong woman is the one who believes in herself, stays independent, respects herself, and takes decisions herself. She lives life, doesn’t survive merely. Many of us wish to be like that, but don’t know how. Here are some guidelines to get you into the shoes of a strong woman.

Know yourself

Take out time for yourself. Sit alone and analyze yourself. Try to know your ‘true’ self, who you are in real inside a human body. Try to explore your spiritual being. It will not only make your vision clear but will also lend you a good understanding of life. Spiritual understanding will help you to understand the deepest truths, explore true knowledge, and fetch ultimate wisdom. This will make you wiser, immaterialist, and omnipotent. Meditate, read books on spirituality, visit relevant sites on Internet. You should know what you want in life. Fix your goal and work towards it.

Love and depend on yourself

Love yourself, as it’s you who will be with your shadow forever. People may give you shoulder to lean upon, but no one is eternal. At the end of the day, it’s you, all alone. Be self-reliant. That’s emotional maturity. The day you stop depending on others, expecting from others you are a strong individual. Take care of yourself. Do everything yourself and fulfill emotional needs too. Meditate and pray often.

Be financially independent

Independence starts with financial freedom. Earn for yourself. Pay your bills, rent, food, household finances, shopping. Maintain own bank account. It not only makes one independent, but also increases self-confidence and courage. Financial dependence on others makes us weak, indebted and parasite. A strong woman is the one who’s capable of looking after herself. Find job or do something which you are good at and capable of doing. If money earning asks for some specific education or skill, go and learn that. There’s no end to learning.

Be honest to yourself

You may lie to the whole world. But don’t lie to yourself. Admit your weaknesses. Accept yourself the way you are. You may admire someone and get motivated, but don’t try to be a copied version. It will make you frustrated. You may have potential which no one else has. Realize that.

Follow your heart

A strong woman takes independent decisions, follows her own heart. Do what makes you happy. Entire world may reject your choice, but if you believe in it follow it. Don’t forget, it’s your life, you should live it the way you wish to. You are supposed to be happy. It’s not being selfish.

Go, the world is all yours. Walk with your chin up.
