Several weeks ago I observed a zovirax prescription for cold sores presentation delivered by an individual whom I perceived as confident and zovirax prescription for cold sores credible. This perception quickly reverted backwards when he began to zovirax prescription for cold sores interact with PowerPoint and notes. As he turned to have zovirax prescription for cold sores a conversation/relationship with his slides and zovirax prescription for cold sores notes, his energy deflated, he disconnected with his listeners, his vocal projection was inaudible, and zovirax prescription for cold sores his rate of speech took off with record speed.

You’ve been zovirax prescription for cold sores there before, watching a speaker talk to their visual aids as if you zovirax prescription for cold sores weren’t there. Your mind wanders and you begin to think, “Gee, should I leave the two of them alone?” It’s what we call Visual Aid Madness. Have we forgotten who is more important, the visual aid or ourselves? Are we using the visual aid to hide from our listeners?

When used appropriately, a zovirax prescription for cold sores visual aid provides Impact, Control, and Emphasis for you, the listener, and zovirax prescription for cold sores your Message. 

Are you thinking to yourself, “I do not present. I do not use PowerPoint, nor do I have zovirax prescription for cold sores future plans for doing so.” When I speak of visual aids, I am referring too much more than PowerPoint. 

• Notes
• Computer, blackberry, etc.; when zovirax prescription for cold sores you speak to this items as a peer is communicating to zovirax prescription for cold sores you.
• A face-to-face conversation when zovirax prescription for cold sores you repeatedly look away from your listener in mid-sentence. They begin to zovirax prescription for cold sores get a complex wondering, “What are you looking at?” (I will talk about this in my next blog.)

Whether we’re using PowerPoint, flipchart, notes, marketing or sales aids, we’ve allowed these elements to zovirax prescription for cold sores become our message rather than support our message.

Have you zovirax prescription for cold sores ever considered not only are marketing aids, props, or PowerPoint visual aids; YOU’RE a visual? Your non-verbal behavior will positively or zovirax prescription for cold sores negatively impact the amount of information your listener remembers. When you zovirax prescription for cold sores lose eye contact with your listener or fidget with your paper, pen, etc. you’re creating distractions that will minimize the amount of information they’ll receive.

According to a study by the University of Minnesota, visual aids increase your zovirax prescription for cold sores chance of persuading your listener to accept your position by 43 percent. In addition, studies by Harvard and zovirax prescription for cold sores Columbia show that visuals improve retention by up to 38 percent. It’s critical your visuals don’t become a victim of a common mistake – losing sight of the message and becoming enamored with the visual. 

When we communicate, we need to zovirax prescription for cold sores remember who is more important, YOU are the visual aid. Avoid the zovirax prescription for cold sores Visual Aid Madness; talking frequently to the visual, using a zovirax prescription for cold sores visual too often as your “security blanket,” or using the visual as part of your gestures. (A pen in your hand will become a distraction, while you’re unaware you’re holding a pen.) The trick is zovirax prescription for cold sores remembering the visual supports your message and not to distract your zovirax prescription for cold sores message.

Interact, not to distract:

Whether you’re presenting, participating in a zovirax prescription for cold sores face-to-face conversation, sales call, or meeting start TODAY allowing your visual aid to zovirax prescription for cold sores support your message. (PowerPoint, marketing brochures, handouts, notes, props or flipcharts.)

• Only speak when you connect with a pair of eyes! The floor, ceiling, computer, or any other object you’re looking at while you’re talking will not talk back to zovirax prescription for cold sores you. Trust and credibility will be created when you connect with your zovirax prescription for cold sores listener not the visual.Subscribe to StaceyHanke Youtube - @staceyhanke
