Impact and Influence:
Owning the room
Neil Thornton
Impact and Influence - Own The Room - YEP Hamilton Chamber - 2015 - thornton group
“They may forget what you
said — but they will never
forget how you made them
feel.”
—Carl W. Buehner
Rule:
“The only thing that
will ever get in the way of
the impact you want to make
…..is FEAR.”
Our goal for today ….
If you leave here today thinking and acting the same
way you walked into the room, I have failed!!
How you walk in a room, make an impression and
leave an impact is ‘the’ most important business skill
you can polish and improve.
Your presence and ability to ‘own’ your influence is
critical today.
Let’s begin……
Tips ….
Advice, lessons and tools that I have
learned over the years…
Your brand….what you want to
be know for?
Leadership definition:
“What people say about you….when you are
not in the room.”
Branding is found…..
In person
On paper
Reputation
On-line
SO……..this is where
you come in!!!
Your influence starts when you
walk in the room
Your ability to capture attention
Your ability to sell yourself
and your ideas
Your ability to provide
value vs. selling
Your ability to lead change!
Your ability to lead and
inspire a team
Your ability to innovate and
crush the status-quo
Your ability to understand
body language
Doing some speaking?
here are a few tips….
Remember to breathe….
Slides: No bullets
No reading
Clean and simple
Five second rule
Keep the lights on
No more podiums
….use the full room
People like
stories
Know your audience
Avoid talking about something
you are not passionate about,
eager to share or excited to
discuss
Shining eyes
½ buttock playing
3-D Speaking
Be ready for Q&A
And finally…..developing
your online presence
It’s a mirror of
your activity as
a business
person…
It’s now one of the first
places people look when
‘checking’ you out. What
will they find?
What would happen if we
Google’d YOU?
Are you open for coaching?
All athletes use a coach
Thank You!
