Hi,

It was great working with you on the Brand & Impact workshop.

I hope you picked up one or two ideas to improve your command and presence. 

The first and most important step towards being more impactful in your communication is to become aware of your credibility robbers.

To get the most amount of observational feedback from your video recording, watch it a number of times. Especially observe the first seven seconds, both with and without sound. 

1. Scroll to find your presentation and observe: 

• Pauses (non-words), the pace of speech and your pitch. 
• Resting hands (truth and trust plane/steeple). Gestures (Palm flash/ palms down).
• Eye contact (one thought > one person). 
• Stance - Face (Smiles & eyebrows up). Posture (height and space). Head (balanced). Stillness - no fidgeting.  

2. Once you have observed yourself, pick something to "dial up" in each interaction over the next week. 

3. At the end of the week, pick an internal (safe) meeting and ask a colleague to video you for 90 seconds using your mobile device. This can be done discreetly. 

4. Watch the video and score yourself 1-5 for the non-verbal you are improving. This is the fastest way to find out if credibility robbers are causing you trouble is to use recordings of yourself in meetings. 

5. Rinse and repeat. 

6. Lastly, connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinhiles/
