Hub You - How to Improve Your Business Presentation Skills - Part1

It's amazing what practice produces - in all areas of your life and business. The very best presenters today once all started in the same place. That first presentation, reading from notes and being terrified to try presenting without notes (we've all been there). It's all down to confidence.

In a nutshell, the idea is that for any skill - from such a simple thing as tying your shoelaces to presenting in front of a group - there are basically four levels:

1st Level - Unconscious Incompetence - you don't know that you can't do it!
2nd Level - Conscious Incompetence - you now know that you can't do it!
3rd Level - Conscious Competence - You now feel ‘confident' at doing it but you're still thinking about it!
4th Level - Unconscious Competence - You are ‘highly confident' - striving to continuously improve and become an expert in your field. Most of the basic actions you employ are now automatic. Business Intuition: Avoiding the Cosmic 2 x 4's
What’s a cosmic 2 x 4 you ask? It’s actually a phrase that’s been used in the ‘new age/ metaphysical’ world for the past 15 years or more. It refers to the lessons we learned the hard way when we didn’t listen to our intuition.In the process of our intuitive development, we learn to listen more deeply and follow the guidance that comes from within. Because conscious awareness is building during that time, whenever we choose not to listen and go against our intuition, the lessons learned seem twice as powerful and painful than if we had listened.When it happens, it feethey were natural born ‘presenters'. Well guess what....they weren't. In fact, even the world's top presenters all began their public speaking careers as rank amateurs. I then learnt that, along with most things in life, it's all down to practice.

We were impressed with South Western Colorado as a good place to hang your hat and a pretty good place to run a business. Great labor supply, good transportation and excellent tourist flows. The town is growing in Cortez and up the hill in Durango as well. Their nearest trading partners Montrose and Farmington NM also helped with money flows to the area. We like the area and thought it was completely economically viable and an excellent choice especially for manufacturing.About the only drawback is the drug issue in the region, but that is with any US City really. It was not as bad there asl areas of your life and business. The very best presenters today once all started in the same place.

In fact, her father explained the fundamental principles to my father over 30 years ago: A renewable energy source that’s not subject to Arab oil embargoes or Mid-East wars ... cleaner fuel for the world’s automobiles... more jobs... less pollution.Now, that future is here:Every country on the planet wants to see more of its automobiles running on renewable fuels like ethanol. And with 600 million gas- and diesel-burning cars and trucks on the road today, that implies the most massive transformation since the industrial revolution.

I can tell you from experience that the first thing that goes through your mind as a new freelancer is “OK, now how much am I going to make this month?” I can probably even safely say that this thought passes by nearly every freelancer just starting out. Now, three years later, I can tell you that if you focus solely on the money part of running your own freelance business, you will fail. Focusing on money, only, takes the attention away from your clients who need the real attention from your freelance business. I'll tell you a quick story of how I obtained one of my best cl - Conscious Competence - You now feel ‘confident' at doing it but you're still thinking about it!

We all begin new things as incompetents - that is, we ‘don't know what we don't know'. Recognising this incompetence, however, is the first step in the learning process. Feeling ok about it is the next. It is only when we are willing to demonstrate our ignorance - to ourselves and others (without fear of failure) that we can move through this stage to a level where we can perform a task with a certain amount of competence. Can you remember as a child trying to tie your shoelaces? Wasn't it so complicated the first time? How many times do you even consider thinking about that now? It has become totally automatic has it not? This is the same with ANY new skill that we learn.

Imagine that it could take about 500 hours of practising a skill to become really competent at it. You might radically reduce or ‘fast track' that time if you have the advantage of good feedback. One of the most rewarding areas I have experienced when working with businesses is the radical acceleration of the business growth by implementing tried and tested methods that are already proven, rather than the business owner going alone and trying to ‘re-invent th

In the United States we have many industries, which continually hire illegal aliens and illegal immigrants and we all know, which industries are the greatest problems.
