What does it mean to present?

While building my brand and learning my signature story and how it all came together to support and help others, there was one big key element that stood out the most to me about presenting.

Remembering your life experience is the gift. It does not serve you or any others to be someone you aren’t, to hide behind a story you think people want to hear.  There is only the present self ( the gift of self ) the gift of your authentic story that people connect with. The number one part of presenting is to “ BE YOU”.

Now once you have that down you can truly hone in on the dance of what it is to be on stage and presenting to others, your gift.

The push and pull of your story, the highlights, and the low lights, and marrying them in a way that creates flow and intrigue, allowing those in your audience to engage with your story emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually. Bringing them up into your story, drawing them deeper, and rising with them again, a beautiful roller coaster of realness, of “ YOU”. The things they can relate to, and have compassion towards.

It's your authentic story that will serve others, inspire them, support them, make them feel seen, that they aren’t alone.

ITS THE REAL STORY OF YOU

TELL IT, SING IT, DANCE IT

However, you are presenting yourself, or presenting in general, remember you are the gift, just BE YOU.
