How to improve your delivery with the right mindset?
Developing excellent ability to communicate effectively can be a challenging task. However, doing so with the right mindset is the first step toward effective and memorable delivery. Focusing on a positive mindset will allow you to stand out among other speakers who are often stuck in self-criticism. So the key question is: what are you doing well? Often, rather than looking at what needs to be improved, it is crucial to recognize what makes you unique, such as being able to evoke enthusiasm or synthesize complex ideas into clear messages.
What does it mean to accept mistakes?
Making mistakes is a fundamental part of learning and continuous improvement. Accepting that things will not always go as expected is essential to evolve as a speaker. A creative and positive approach to mistakes can open space for innovation and learning. Don't let mistakes discourage you; instead, transform those experiences into opportunities for growth. Consider preparing a backup plan for your presentations, such as having additional quotes or interesting information on hand.
What are the classic recommendations for improving delivery?
The classic recommendations for improving delivery remain valid:
-
Preparation and organization: Before a presentation, organize your ideas and materials. Keep everything ready to avoid forgetting crucial elements during your speech.
-
Constant practice: Practice repeatedly. This is the fundamental process to polish your speech and get closer to the desired result.
-
Concentrate on the message: It is essential to stay focused on the main message you want to communicate. Although sometimes we may stray, it is important to always return to the central idea.
-
Interact with the audience: Whether in a face-to-face or online environment, looking for opportunities to interact with the audience can strengthen the connection and make the message resonate even more.
Ultimately, the delivery process is not just about conveying a message, but about authentically connecting with the audience. All of these elements, from positive mindset to careful preparation, are crucial to successful presentations. And remember, every presentation is an opportunity for growth and improvement!

- The positive side of my recent presentation is that although when I was starting very nervous, after few minutes I back to the flow and just share my ideas and insights, having in mind the main message, and the call to action.
Hi,
Once I move over the nerves, I think my strong suit is to make the information easy to understand. Try my best to explain and engage to everyone on the best way and with words and vocabulary everyone would understand.
Getting feedback is very important, it is a good idea to do a few simulations with people to let them tell you how you are doing and how you can improve.
Hello, when I give a conference, I am very good at maintaining attention and achieving empathy with the audience.
Get in the right mindset to improve your delivery. Focus all of our energy on recognizing the positive.
Find those elements that make you stand out. Look for the good things you do. When we give room for color; when we give room for innovation, when we give room for creativity, we can surprise ourselves.
Mistakes, as I said, happen all the time. So be prepared with supporting responses. In this case, maybe you can prepare additional quotes.
Prepare and organize. Never forget that preparation is key. Organize your ideas; Practice, practice, practice. Don't lose focus and focus on your message. Interact with the audience; Ask questions.
Thank you
I鈥檓 super committed all the time, since the preparation until the delivery. I try to notice if the audience is paying attention and the general feeling, also I like to involve the audience.
Ponte en la mentalidad correcta para mejorar tu entrega 1. Reconoce lo positivo: En que destaco 2. Estar preparados para los errores: No hay procesos perfectos pero podemos acercarnos. Esto nos da oportunidades de aprendizaje. 3. Prepara y organiza: 驴Qu茅 elementos adicionales me faltan? 4. Practica, practica y practica: Practicar es la clave para cercarnos ala perfecci贸n. 5. Enf贸cate en tu mensaje: No olvidar lo que realmente quiero comunicar. 6. Interact煤a con el p煤blico: Has preguntas, saluda y sonr铆e.
Every mistake is a valuable learning expirience鈥f youo have that in mind, you won鈥檛 be afraid of making mistakes鈥o on and keep learning!
It鈥檚 always better to look at the glass half full than half empty
