Unraveling the authenticity surprise

audience surprise

Last week I wrote our Mastering Virtual Presentations graduates are frequently told they’re authentic.  And how this happens naturally, completely without effort, when they’re comfortable, filled with well-being and a strong feeling of affinity for their audience.

This beautiful combination of emotions breathes life into a compelling authenticity that enraptures their audience.

I also wrote about how surprised audiences are when they see it.  Their delight is sudden and quite surprised.

Usually in these Causative Communication articles I give you answers. This week I’m going to give you questions.  I’m sure you have answers for them within you.

First question:

Why is it that in large corporations people are so SURPRISED when they see someone being this kind of authentic during a presentation?  Not just executives, but at every level of the organization?

Second question:

Would anyone in your organization be surprised if you were this kind of authentic?  Why would that be?

Third question:

Is this important?

I’m interested in hearing how you see it.  Just email me and let me know …

Be the cause!
