UNLEASH YOUR PRESENTING SUPERPOWER

Image
With every presentation do you:
  • Connect, engage, and inspire your audience
  • Move people to action

  • Achieve personal and professional impact

Research tells us that only the top 1% of Professional Speakers hit these goals consistently and with every presentation.

If you want to know with absolute certainty that you are kicking these goals, more traditional presentation skills is NOT the answer. So, what do you need to better, smarter, and differently?

You need to unleash your presentation superpower. Excuse me – did you say superpower? Yes, superpower.

Every superpower has an origin story.

My name is Yamini Naidu and I speak professionally for a living. I have been speaking for what, hmm 15O years? I’ve been speaking for over 15 years – but speaker years are like dog years! I am an economist by training – please don’t stop reading here.

When I started my professional speaking career, I was a very serious speaker. A serious economist – such a classic stereotype and I was living it! One day I was doing a keynote at IBM. I looked out at the audience and I saw a sea of Indian faces. I immediately thought I should tell them about my mother. I said ‘I am economist by training and I co-founded a company that does storytelling. I was so excited and raced home to tell my mum – Mum I am going to be doing storytelling’. And she replied ‘Is that a job - Why can’t you be a doctor or be in IT.’

The audience roared with laughter, The room lit up and in that moment my audience and I became one. We connected viscerally.

That day I stumbled onto something important. For me at that time my X factor was sharing funny stories. That’s what I called it, I didn’t use the words X factor. One of my clients even refers to me as ‘a funny story speaker’! It never occurred to me that what I was doing lived in a larger context, or was something that could be taught and learned.

Travel forward to March 2020, I was at my Professional Speakers Convention. That’s the industry speak for when professional speakers meet and share our trade secrets. The wonderful Vinh Giang, a fellow keynote speaker said every presentation should have:

Defining the undefinable?

Your X factor is born from your own unique set of skills, talents, lived experiences, quirks, hobbies and interests. It’s the best version of you.

When you hear the words X factor – you immediately start to wonder
What is my X factor? Do I even have one? What if I don’t have one?

Take a deep breath.

My research is reassuring. Everyone has X factor POTENTIAL

Sadly, most presenters never discover their X factor.

But this doesn’t have to be you. In my book, I bust the myth that X factor is something you are born with. It’s not about winning a talent show or becoming the Beyoncé of business, and it’s not the reward of a tiny, exclusive elite.

My practical step-by-step book helps you discover your singular X factor. I help you craft this into an X-factor statement and unlock presentation magic. With every presentation imagine professional results, standing ovations, and raving fans.
