In this episode… Although it may seem far-fetched, 78% of people would rather die than speak on stage. This is especially true for women, who often overanalyze their public personas. Yet public speaking is crucial for leaders who want to make an impact. How can you overcome your fears to deliver confident speeches? Master presenter Diane DiResta maintains that since the presentation is for the audience's benefit, to be nervous is to be self-centered. Instead, shift your perspective to create an informative and memorable experience for your listeners. Delivering powerful speeches requires understanding yourself, your audience, and your message without relying on memorization or using passive phrases such as “like” or “I think.” In today's episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show, Diane DiResta, the CEO of DiResta Communications, joins Andrea Heuston to discuss how to communicate with confidence and intention. Diane talks about her military upbringing, how she leads like a woman, and the dos and don'ts of Q&A sessions.
In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Diane DiResta discuss:The value of speaking both in person and virtually.Common mistakes lawyers make when speaking.Understanding your audience.What to do when you're nervous (and why those nerves are selfish). Key Takeaways:Fit is often about culture, not about a skill mismatch.It doesn't matter if you are a fast speaker, you want to leave space in between - remember the pause. That is where the information you are sharing is going to land with the audience.Speaking is 90% preparation and 10% delivery - the price you charge is for more than the 1 hour of your time to give the presentation.Group things into 3 - it is more memorable. Stories also are memorable and touch the heart. "Speaking is one of the most powerful and cost-effective marketing tools you can have. It's like test driving a car, they get to see you in action." — Diane DiRestaGet a free copy of Steve's book “Sales-Free Selling” here: www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling Thank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: https://www.lawmatics.com/bethatlawyer/Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Get Visible: https://www.getvisible.com/ Episode References: Gladden Longevity Podcast - https://gladdenlongevity.com/podcast-episodes/ About Diane DiResta: Diane DiResta, CSP, is Founder and CEO of DiResta Communications, Inc., a New York City consultancy serving business leaders who deliver high-stakes presentations— whether one-to-one, in front of a crowd, or from a virtual platform.

You don't need to be an executive to have presence Check your gravitas, communication and appearance Episode 122 (Diane is based in New York) In this conversation we explore: The contributing components of presence What are the elements of gravitas, communication and appearance? The power of confidence and decisiveness How to align your communication How to establish your grounding position before you speak How to wield the power of the pause to your overwhelming advantage How to show up (and mistakes) for virtual meetings About Diane DiResta A speech pathologist, professional speaker, executive speech coach and past president of National Speakers Association NYC. She has spoken on 4 continents and is the author of Amazon category bestseller, Knockout Presentations. Learn more about Diane at her website https://www.diresta.com/ ----- Excerpts from this conversation with Diane DiResta Gravitas is the biggest component and it makes up 67% of the message. Or the definition communication is 28%. And your appearance is 5%. of executive presence. ----- They're not grounded. So I give people actual practical tools that they can use. So here's one that I'll share with your listeners. Whether you are on a screen or in a in person meeting, the first thing you want to do is establish a grounding position. Why? Because a lot of times in the beginning, we're fidgeting we have energy, we don't know what to do with it. So here's what you can do, put both feet flat on the floor, lean in at a 15 degree angle with both hands on the table. I don't know if you can see this. And what this does is it creates a presence and a grounding. So even if your heart is pounding out of your chest, we don't see it, you look confident. So then the audience responds to you as if you are confident and then you start to feel more confident. You start to feel their respect and attention. So it starts with little things. But what I've discovered is it's the little things that make the greatest impact. So nobody listening today has to do a big total makeover, but little tweaks along the way will get you to where you want to go. ----- So when you talk about appearance, looking polished, and you're being authentic part of that your background when you're on screen. So how are you showing up, and I've had people with beds in the background, not good. So you can have a branding background, a background, like what I have, or you can use your home as long as it's professional looking, or an office. But all of these little things add up to an impression, a brand and executive presence. ----- 22:58 So energy is good. Enthusiasm is good, absolutely. But you can still be really enthusiastic, and come to a pause. So it's like a stop sign. Don't go past the stop sign, come to a complete stop, and then move. Let people have time to process. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by improving your communication skills.

What You'll Learn From This Episode: How to show up powerfully and have that platform presence Learn ‘listener-centered communication' Using Facebook as your own ‘green room' Related Links and Resources: The tool that I have for everybody today is an audio course called "Seven Deadly Mistakes Speakers Make and How to Avoid Them for Maximum Success." You can find that at www.diresta.com Summary: Diane DiResta, CSP, is Founder and CEO of DiResta Communications, Inc., a New York City consultancy serving business leaders who deliver high stakes presentations. Diane is Past President of the NYC chapter of National Speakers Association and former media trainer for the NBA and WNBA. She was featured on CNN, and quoted in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, London Guardian, and Investors Business Daily and Bloomberg radio. She is a Certified Virtual Presenter. And her blog, Knockout Presentations, made the Top 50 Public Speaking blogs. She has unique ability to get to the core of the message and translate complexity into simplicity. Diane is also a licensed Speech Pathologist. Here are the highlights of this episode: 1:40 Diane's ideal Client: My ideal client is a thought leader or CEO who is out there promoting their brand but they're challenge by giving presentations. So, it could be a Founder who's pitching for funding, CEO giving a high-stakes presentation at a conference, or it could be a solopreneur who needs an elevator pitch. 2:04 Problem Diane helps solve: The principle problem is presence; how to show up powerfully and have that presence when they are on the platform. Whether it's in person or on an electronic platform. A lot of times, what happens is they're leaving money on the table because they're avoiding speaking or they're not doing it well. Speaking is one of the most cost-effective and powerful marketing strategies, but you need to know how to do it. 2:48 Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Diane: The primary problem or feeling in their body is usually nervousness and anxiety but one of the symptoms that tells me they lack presence is that they don't engage the audience; they stand up there like a talking head memorizing their script and there's no connection, or they're reading their slides. That's one of the issues. Another issue is that they don't know how to connect on an eye level, so they haven't learned how to take the audience or a big group and make that a one-on-one experience. Those are some of the ways that I know people lack presence and the big killer is monotone. If you're dispassionate, then you do not have presence. 3:47 What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Diane and her solution: The biggest mistake that most people make across the board is being speaker-centered; and that's all about 'me, myself, and I'. So, they talk about their topic as if that's the most important thing to the audience. Here's the truth - the audience doesn't care; they only care about their self-interest. I work with people to show them listener-centered communication which is a model that helps them dig-in into the audience needs, find a hook and then lead with that hook. And when you learn that process, you can give a knockout presentation literally in seven minutes and more often we do it in six. 4:39 Diane's Valuable Free Action (VFA): What you can open up on Facebook is your own green room, and that allows you to do Facebook live right into that room because it's private, nobody can see it. And so, that lowers the risk and you can store your videos there, so it's a great practice area. 5:15Diane's Valuable Free Resource (VFR): The tool that I have for everybody today is an audio course called "Seven Deadly Mistakes Speakers Make and How to Avoid Them for Maximum Success." You can find that at diresta.com. 5:49 A lot of people right now are thinking "I need to work on my presentation but I can't really hire a coach. What can I do?

In this interview, I talk to the incredible Diane Diresta and we discuss some of the most important secrets that she teaches to the many people she works with helping them to create and deliver knockout presentations. Some golden advice here!
Diane DiResta, author of Knockout Presentations: How to Deliver Your Message with Power, Punch and Pizzazz lives by the “gifted speakers are born, but effective speakers are made” adage. DiResta believes that adding “speaker” to a business executive’s repertoire gives them a competitive advantage and a much needed skill in today’s business world. From entry-level to the c-suite, everyone should develop their speaking skills and one way to achieve that is by trying different techniques until we find the one that suits our personality and we’re comfortable with. DiResta also talks about the biggest mistakes speakers make is coming across as nothing more than a talking head and lacking authenticity; which she stresses, is the key element in order to successfully build a relationship with the audience. Being someone you’re not creates an additional level of stress and people won’t be able to connect with the message. She stresses that, “Progress, not perfection” is what humanizes you and the audience can relate to that. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Now in its 3rd edition. In this episode, Diane shares how she works with leaders to increase executive presence and influence. Check out these episode highlights: 01:29 – Diane's ideal client: My ideal clients are leaders, primarily in corporations. I have worked with entrepreneurs, but most of my work is in corporations with leaders. 01:43 – Problem Diane helps solve: They need to be able to communicate with impact and influence and to do it with confidence and clarity. And when I say leader, you don't necessarily have to be in the C-suite. You might be someone who's also a coach or a consultant, but you're leading your company and you need these speaking skills. 02:10 – Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Diane: One of the things that's very typical, even in leaders, is not getting to the point. I see people really get stuck in the weeds really bad for selling and for leading and for influencing. The other big mistake, well, they're two, lack of focus, meaning they're not really clear about their outcome. And the third one is they are speaker centered instead of listener centered, it's all about me, myself and I. Not a good technique for selling or influence. 03:22 – Common mistakes people make when trying to solve that problem: They are all over the place. They're not clear about who their audience is sometimes, they're not clear about their message. And you can tell there's no flow or structure to the message. And what I always say to people is delivery sits on structure. So, if you are well organized, that's going to impact your delivery in a very positive way. So, the two go together. They're a marriage, organization and delivery go together. 05:12 – Diane's Valuable Free Action(VFA): Before you do anything else complete this sentence, “At the end of my presentation, the audience will blank.” The answer to that is your outcome. You have to be clear about your why. 06:17 – Diane's Valuable Free Resource(VFR): Achieve the Next-Level of Leadership Success Now.Check-out: https://www.diresta.com/ 07:37 – Q: "Can anybody be effective as a speaker, as a public speaker?" A: Gifted speakers are born but effective speakers are made. It's a skill that anybody can learn. It's simply taking an idea in your head and transferring it to someone else's head in a way that they can hear it.

Diane DiResta is the founder and CEO of DiResta Communications, Inc, a New York City-based communications skills consultancy serving business leaders who want to communicate with greater impact, whether one-to-one, in front of a crowd, or from an electronic platform. DiResta is the author of the book Give Fear the Finger: How to Knock Out Fear of Public Speaking and Knockout Presentations: How to Deliver Your Message with Power, Punch, and Pizzazz, a widely used text in college business communication courses. Podcast Highlights Who is Diane DiResta? Diane is a connector, truth seeker, and lifelong learner. She grew up in a military family so she moved around a lot during her childhood, that’s where she found her love of foreign cultures and developed an attitude of adaptability. Her first career was as a speech pathologist after graduating from Columbia, but she was too ambitious for the opportunities available in that position so she switched careers to giving public speaking training for a consulting company. After working in various businesses and industries, Diane realized that she loved the job but didn’t like the culture of Wall Street. She realized that the reason people don’t fit is not because of a skills mismatch but because of a culture issue. She kept searching for the right position while freelancing for a couple of years and came to realize, with the help of her husband, that she wanted to have control of her own work and didn’t actually want another job. Now she takes good speakers and turns them into great speakers and nervous speakers and make them confident speakers. Even as a child, Diane was always correcting people’s speech. Her first love was English and teaching, but that wasn’t really an option for her at the time, which is why she ended up in the field of speech pathology. Effective Communication Every master was once a disaster. Diane wasn’t always a professional speaker. Gifted speakers are born, but effective speakers are made. Her first exposure to public speaking was in college and she was not a natural stand out, but she still managed a ‘B’ in the class. She knows what it takes to go from an average person who’s anxious about public speaking to someone who trains professional speakers for a living. Speaking is a skill, anyone can be effective at conveying a message. The language of confidence combined with your stories and background is the art of effective communication. What’s the difference between verbal and vocal? Vocal is your tone, verbal is your language. The message is in the tone, not in your words. When it comes to language wimpy words will undermine your ability to sell or persuade someone. When you use weak words, you are communicating that you’re not confident in your statements or position. Don’t suggest, recommend. The confused mind says no. Use more definitive powerful words and hold your ground. Once people learn the skills of executive presence, they take off. Mindset and Skill Set The first stage is to address your limiting beliefs. You’re not confident because you don’t believe in yourself. The second stage is recovery strategies. What is your worst nightmare and how would you recover from it? Understanding that helps develop the skill set you need for effective communication. Speaking is not a soft skill. You have to understand who you are in front of the person that you’re communicating with. Can you think of anything that happens in the absence of communication? You’re not going to get funding from a VC without being able to communicate effectively. The stock market is psychology, fear and confidence at the basic level. Communicating with analysts effectively can have a massive ROI and impact on your company’s stock

(no, it is not because you do not like either of them). If you do not know how to present yourself, you are missing out on core opportunities.
Picture the audience naked. Wondering what I am talking about? Next to death it is rated as the top fear for people. Still not certain? Public Speaking is what I am talking about and picturing the audience naked is a strategy often suggested to minimize the fear reaction. Does it work though? Is there a better way? How do you put together a speech, presentation or workshop that captivates the audience and most of all moves them to take action of some sort? Is there a better way to setup a room? What is a Speaking Sandwich and can you get it in a NYC deli? One of the things I do that makes me money is deliver keynote speeches, workshops and webinar-style keynotes. People say I make it look easy. It is not. Yes, I speak from the heart yet my perfectly scripted plans are rarely delivered as planned but there is a lot of prep that enables me to do that. My mom says I was born with a mic in my hand. For the average person, that is not their truth. My guest has written a compendium, I do love that word, for speaking. She shares how you can deliver that perfect scripted yet off-the-cuff speech, how you can push past your fear and engage the audience from moment one and she does it with some levity and a few perfect examples of how not being perfect is the best way to deliver a knockout presentation.
