I'm going to be taking you through a guided visualization that I call the Powerful Presentation.
This guided visualization is perfect if you have an upcoming presentation that you would like to make sure is a complete success.
Begin by finding a comfortable place to sit.
Your eyes can be open or closed.
And we'll begin by taking three breaths.
First breath in.
And release.
Next breath in.
Next breath in.
Hold it.
And release.
Go ahead and close your eyes if you haven't already.
Now imagine the room that you will be presenting in.
What does it look like?
Have you been in there before?
If you haven't,
Just imagine what it will look like.
Is there a table in the room?
Are there chairs?
And if so,
How many are there?
Is there other furniture in the room?
What is hanging on the walls,
If anything?
Are there windows in the room?
What is the quality of the lighting in the room?
Now look at the specific area where you will be presenting.
What do you notice about it?
Imagine that right now it is the day and time of your presentation and that you are currently standing outside of the room where you will be presenting in just a few moments.
As you're standing there now,
Before you go in,
Go ahead and take a deep breath in.
And release.
And as you do,
You notice tension in your body releasing and letting go.
Enter the room now and go to the area where you will be presenting,
Which may be sitting or standing.
And once you're in the area where you'll be presenting,
Pause and take another deep breath in.
And release.
And just before it's time to begin your presentation,
Take a look at the person or people you will be presenting to.
You will see that they're looking back at you with smiles and friendly faces as they're eagerly waiting for you to begin and they want to hear what you have to say.
Begin your presentation now.
You can feel your voice as you speak and you notice that it is steady and full of certainty.
Regardless of circumstance,
Right now you are 100% secure in yourself and in the message that you're presenting.
As you're speaking and presenting,
You feel confidence emanating from the core of your body and it expands out through your chest.
You'll notice that you are perfectly pacing out the information.
You'll notice that the audience that you're presenting to are with you and they're present as you present.
You also use your body in your communication as you present,
Maybe to emphasize a point.
And as you do,
You notice that you are moving your body confidently and smoothly.
As you are presenting your material,
Take a moment to stop and look into the eyes of each of the participants.
As you do,
Connect with them and silently send them an energetic message of gratitude simply for their time and for their attention.
Now you begin to wrap up your presentation.
As you do,
You notice that the participants are smiling and nodding their heads in approval.
You'll notice that your presentation has created a new and positive energy in the room and that connects you with the audience in a new way and creates more connection between you.
This feeling of a connection fills your body with energy now and that energy expands all the way out your limbs to your fingers and to your toes.
It just feels wonderful as you get the positive recognition from the audience.
Feel this now.
Take a deep breath in and release.
Now with the presentation completed,
You begin to come back into the room where you are currently sitting or laying.
And as you come back into this room,
Bring this new sense of energy and confidence with you.
And when you're ready,
Go ahead and open your eyes.
