Authenticity and Charisma.

what you are saying, how you are saying
it, and what you believe.

 It is about showing your listener your

true self through your words, voice and
body language.

ACE Communication Equation
 Carol’s Example
 At a sales meeting, Carol a vice
president of sales, strides
energetically to the podium.
 Pauses for a few seconds to look at
the audience, and then tells a story
from her days as a field rep.
 Supplementing her speech with
colorful slides.
 She accents her words with animated
gestures.
 Having rehearsed carefully in front of a
small audience.
 She scans the room and challenges her
listeners to commit to a stretch sales
goal that will put many of them in the
annual winners 'circle.
But Carol senses that something’s
amiss.
 The audience isn’t exhibiting the kind of
enthusiasm needed to get the year off to a great
start.
 She begins to panic: What’s happening? Is there
anything she can do to salvage the situation?
 What Science Teaches Us ?
 If spoken message and body language are
mismatched, audiences will respond to the
nonverbal message every time.
Traditional approach doesn’t work because:
 It involves specific coaching on nonverbal

elements—“maintain eye contact,” “spread

your arms,” “walk out from behind the
podium”—that make the speaker seem
artificial.
 In human beings the second, nonverbal

conversation actually starts first.

“Rehearsing” Authenticity
Rehearse your speech with these aim in mind.

 To Be Open
 To Connect
 To Be Passionate
 To Listen
What underlies an
Authentic Speech?
Being open to your audience
 Imagine giving your
presentation to
someone with whom
you’re completely
relaxed

 Notice what that

mental picture looks
like but particularly
what it feels like.
 Connecting with your audience
 Imagine that a child you
know well isn’t heeding
you. You want to capture
that child’s attention
however you can.
 You don’t strategize—you
simply do what feels
natural and appropriate.
Being passionate about your topic
 Imagine that
somebody in the
audience has the
power to take
everything away from
you unless you win
him or her over with
your passionate
argument.
“Listening” to your audience
 Now begin thinking
about what your
listeners are likely to be
feeling when you step
up to begin your
presentation.
 As you practice, imagine
yourself watching them
very closely, looking for
signs of their response
to you
CONCLUSION
