Presentation Skills - Bombing - And how to deal with it

what if you bomb when giving a speech or presentation I'm just had failed and that is the topic of today's presentation training strategy what if you bomb this would be a worst-case scenario I want you think back to anytime that you were ever in front of people and you're giving a speech did you ever bomb I would say that 5 percent of the people who are watching right now it's a well I did have one experience where XY and Z happened I had a guy who tried to tell a joke this was a client of mine he tried to tell a joke that with a little racy in nature and not so good for the audience they were horrified writers the whole entire presentation started now he just kinda dust himself off and continued now what do you do is that the right way to deal with a situation like that when it comes to bombing usually bombing means that this it means that you did not connect with your audience you weren't audience centered ... weren't giving them exactly what they need and what they want if that's happening and I'm certainly not talking about stand-up comedy right now I'm talking about giving at presentation and either there's their saying alright it's good or they're just talking amongst themselves were every person is to down there looking at their BlackBerry or digital device and they're done with you that is a former bombing you have few choices you can a wrap it up and be done that's one choice I have a feeling the audience would be happy with that you can stop and say and basically this is what I call calling the moment you can say okay I want to acknowledge something right now I'm not doing so well and chances are that audience will respect you and they will say wow this person had the courage to call the moment and explain what was happening and you can stop and say you know it's gonna be reading this speech or doing whatever it is that you know it's not going well how about we have a dialogue how can I find out what you really need and try to deliver that I bet you if you re focus your efforts on that audience they will respect you they will love you and they will get what you originally trying to give them which is a lot of great information give it a try
