Presentation Training: Presence of Mind
EmailI spent last Thursday with Patricia Fripp, a great speech coach and friend of mine. We were at the National Speakers Association, New Jersey Chapter. I can’t get her out of my mind. She is a presence!
Someone with presence makes you pay attention. You don’t have to work hard to listen to them or watch them. In fact, you can’t help being engaged by them. Fripp is one of these people.
She does it in at least two ways: intellectual and emotional.
Fripp says interesting things in interesting ways, such as, “The enemy of the speaker is sameness.”
Then she tells you why she phrased it the way she did. She will say that the last word in your spoken sentence should pack the punch.
That’s a powerful thought, one that will change the way I talk.
To be a presence in someone else’s mind on a substantive level is a good thing. It means you have made them think, 
aroused their curiosity, and stimulated further dialogue.
Great conversationalists, (I am thinking of Barbara Walters, Leonard Lopate, and Dick Cavett) can carry on a dialogue on a wide range of topics. In other words, they can be present in almost any discussion.
There is more to presence than animal magnetism. We take for granted intellectual presence, yet it is the currency of success for many of our most accomplished colleagues.
