The Benefits of a Professional Speaker Volunteering
Effective Coaching by Michael Grinder
Sam Cawthorn was one of 25 National Speaker Association Australia participants who attended a 5-day program in 2010. Sam was awarded the 2009 Young Speaker of the Year. This footage illustrates Michael Grinder’s ability to coach accomplished speakers on their non-verbals. The difference between high quality and outstanding quality is evident.
Power of Non Verbal Communication
I’m working in Australia this month and having a great time meeting new and amazing people. One of the participants was Shivani Gupta, she has allowed us to shared from her blog: http://www.askshivani.com/Shivani-s-Blog/April-2011/Power-of-Non-Verbal-Communication.aspx
From Shivani’s blog:
I got to do a whole day workshop with Michael Grinder last week and here are the key learnings I had which you may want to apply for you to have more impact when talking and presenting to people and coming across as more passionate.
1. If you pause between what you have to say, you will appear more intelligent
2. There are many mistakes (6 common ones to be precise) people make when communicating.
3. People with low pitched voice appear more credible than high pitched ones. For example a pilot comes across as more credible (sending voice) compared to the flight attendant (seeking voice).
4. Use pictures and words when presenting. I realised that when I have powerpoint, perhaps I can use pictures as well better on my slides. Michael spoke about the right brain that loves pictures being bigger so have a bigger picture and words if you need to.
5. The non verbals are up to 93% of what you communicate so get that bit right.
Become a passionate presenter!

A big part of why I became a trainer is I love to inspire, motivate, and encourage people! Yet as you know, if you have ever had to manage or coach people, sometimes we need to give feedback and possibly even manage a behavior.
Observing someone’s behavior, coaching them and giving feedback can feel rough, tough or scary (it certainly doesn’t need to be). And contrary to common mythology, giving “constructive criticism” is not constructive. It rarely motivates change, especially long-term change. What motivates people is specific behavioral feedback, and yes, they are craving specific feedback that educates them on how their behaviors affect other people.
Your success as a leader, teacher, manager, team member, coach, etcetera will ultimately be about what you do and how you inspire, motivate, and encourage people. So the question becomes how to do it successfully each and every time?
