9
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:41,140
Well, welcome to the Event Pro Show. I am your host, Seth Macchi. I
10
00:00:41,140 --> 00:00:44,900
am the CEO of lemg, which is an event production
11
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:48,500
company based in Charlotte, North Carolina. We travel all over the country
12
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:52,100
producing primarily corporate events. And I
13
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:55,700
say that because there's an issue that we need to talk about.
14
00:00:56,260 --> 00:00:59,160
I think we spend a lot of time, and even on, on this show we
15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,680
spend a lot of time talking about the planning of events and how to execute
16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,240
events from the, either the planner or the technical side
17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,840
or maybe some other adjacent discipline within corporate events.
18
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:13,880
But sometimes we forget about the actual human beings
19
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,200
that go on our stages and have to get up in front of our
20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,920
audiences and talk to them. And I would
21
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,400
like to talk about something called giving
22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,040
your keynote speakers or presenters the gift of creating
23
00:01:28,190 --> 00:01:31,870
great av. And the reason I call it that is I
24
00:01:31,870 --> 00:01:35,550
want to tell a little story personally of
25
00:01:35,550 --> 00:01:39,150
what it feels like to be on stage and present.
26
00:01:39,710 --> 00:01:43,430
And I'm not, I'm not talking about professional speakers.
27
00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:47,150
Now. They, they do in fact, you know, a lot of professional speakers, they
28
00:01:47,150 --> 00:01:50,830
deal with anxiety. A lot of front people in
29
00:01:50,830 --> 00:01:54,350
bands, you know, they're actually, a lot of them are introverts, but they've
30
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:58,260
figured out ways to be extroverts on stage and, and, and do
31
00:01:58,260 --> 00:02:02,060
really great. I'm talking about the type of person that is probably
32
00:02:02,060 --> 00:02:05,620
on your stage looks a lot more like me.
33
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:08,660
So let me give you an example. I grew up
34
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:13,380
doing all sorts of performing. You know, even, even I remember
35
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:16,740
in third grade being in a play that was my first singing
36
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:20,540
solo was in third grade or it was a duet. That was fun.
37
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:24,180
And then all throughout my life I was in choirs, I was in band
38
00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:28,560
and I got a little older regular bands and, and
39
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,360
did that kind of stuff. Always was singing or talking in front of
40
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,200
people. And then as I got into my professional career, I started to
41
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,440
develop the ability to do public speaking.
42
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,920
Now I would not ever say that I
43
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:47,640
am a professional public speaker. I know them, I appreciate
44
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:51,120
them. They are fantastic. They set the audience
45
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,160
at ease. The moment they get on stage, they have people engaged and
46
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,920
they do their whole thing, they walk off stage, people feel insp.
47
00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:02,460
And you know, some action, some great positive thing when they do it,
48
00:03:02,540 --> 00:03:05,740
that is not me. You know, I can get in front of people and I
49
00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:09,380
can speak if I need to. It's a necessity thing and I can find,
50
00:03:09,380 --> 00:03:13,140
you know, the ability to do that. But I pull from a
51
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:16,820
lot of my background and you know, growing up, being on
52
00:03:16,820 --> 00:03:20,140
different stages and, and all of that, it is still
53
00:03:20,140 --> 00:03:23,860
uncomfortable. Now most of the people that
54
00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:26,820
speak at corporate events are some sort of
55
00:03:26,820 --> 00:03:30,520
executives, manager, someone telling story
56
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,320
of what happened at the company, you know, or something that
57
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,920
they are a normal employee in a company, they're not a
58
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,680
professional entertainer or speaker, but they have to get up on your
59
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,160
stage and they have to speak. And that
60
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,560
is. And a lot of you even thinking about that right now gives you
61
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,640
anxiety. The fact the thought of you getting up in front of people
62
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,080
gives you anxiety. And you're in a huge
63
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,790
group of company there, a huge percentage of the United States
64
00:03:59,790 --> 00:04:02,230
or just people on the globe feel the same way.
65
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:07,710
I did a quick Google search before I talked and so don't quote me
66
00:04:07,710 --> 00:04:11,270
on this, but I believe it, that it's generally true.
67
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:14,310
75% of people fear public speaking.
68
00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:18,950
More people fear public speaking
69
00:04:19,190 --> 00:04:22,310
than fear death. So a larger percentage of the population
70
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:27,310
thinks more about anxiety as it pertains to public speaking
71
00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:30,960
than they do about their own death, which is crazy. Something
72
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,680
like 85% experience some level of
73
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,200
anxiety when thinking about public speaking. So you're talking about the vast majority of
74
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,920
people. If this was a political vote, that would be a landslide. So
75
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,760
most people feel uncomfortable on a stage. So that's
76
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,480
the backdrop of what I want to talk about is that we can do all
77
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,080
the planning and the room looks great, the experience is great for the
78
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,800
attendee. But are we thinking about the journey of our
79
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,290
speakers from before, during and
80
00:05:00,290 --> 00:05:04,130
after their presentation and what is that like? Well, I
81
00:05:04,130 --> 00:05:07,570
want to talk about four main milestones or points in time
82
00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:11,650
when I think that partnering with a great AV company can help
83
00:05:11,730 --> 00:05:15,570
address anxiety and why it's important to work with a
84
00:05:15,570 --> 00:05:18,930
great AV partner, if for nothing else
85
00:05:19,250 --> 00:05:22,890
than to set your presenters up for success. So the
86
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:25,970
first place that I would say is very helpful
87
00:05:26,930 --> 00:05:30,770
for a presenter is in rehearsals. So rehearsals
88
00:05:30,770 --> 00:05:34,130
is a time that is a set aside time when
89
00:05:34,210 --> 00:05:38,050
nobody's working on the set, nobody's in the room other than
90
00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:40,930
people maybe part of the production or part of the leadership team
91
00:05:41,890 --> 00:05:45,650
and the presenter can go through in whatever way makes
92
00:05:45,650 --> 00:05:49,490
them Comfortable their presentation. And so I've seen just like a,
93
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:53,370
you know, cue to cue or looking from slide to slide. They just want to
94
00:05:53,370 --> 00:05:56,050
see what it looks like in the room. They get to walk on the stage.
95
00:05:56,530 --> 00:06:00,150
Maybe they'll put a microphone on and just hear what it sounds like to speak
96
00:06:00,150 --> 00:06:03,750
in a space and just get comfortable. Just get
97
00:06:03,750 --> 00:06:07,550
comfortable. If you have never experienced speaking in front of people,
98
00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:11,870
it can be such a bizarre thing. You can
99
00:06:12,350 --> 00:06:15,790
be as prepared as possible. You did all of your at home
100
00:06:16,750 --> 00:06:20,390
talking in a mirror, practicing and everything. But when you
101
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:24,150
step onto a stage in a. In a unique space that you haven't
102
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:27,810
been in, it could seem cavernous. If you're not hearing
103
00:06:27,810 --> 00:06:30,610
things well, echoes are coming back to you.
104
00:06:31,410 --> 00:06:35,090
There is something very real to this fight or
105
00:06:35,090 --> 00:06:38,890
flight response in humans where weird things happen. You get
106
00:06:38,890 --> 00:06:42,570
dry mouth, you forget what you were talking about, about something that
107
00:06:42,570 --> 00:06:46,370
you're an expert in, and it just leaves you. Your body just abandons
108
00:06:46,370 --> 00:06:50,050
you, your mind abandons you. So a rehearsal is a great place
109
00:06:50,050 --> 00:06:53,810
to begin to get those things out of your system.
110
00:06:54,270 --> 00:06:57,990
You know, at least you can picture now before you come back on for your
111
00:06:57,990 --> 00:07:01,670
real presentation, what the experience is like once you get up there. And that
112
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:05,510
alone can reduce anxiety, you know, by huge
113
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:08,870
percentage, depending on the person. That can be a huge
114
00:07:08,870 --> 00:07:12,430
difference between feeling confident and not walking
115
00:07:12,430 --> 00:07:15,990
up in your normal presentation. So that's the rehearsal
116
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:19,750
experience. The rehearsal experience. You get to hear things. You also get to meet
117
00:07:19,750 --> 00:07:22,910
the technical team if that's part of that rehearsal experience.
118
00:07:23,390 --> 00:07:27,170
So not just like sound people and all of that, but you
119
00:07:27,170 --> 00:07:31,010
can meet the person that's controlling your graphics, work on your presentation a
120
00:07:31,010 --> 00:07:33,810
little bit. You get to know the people that are supporting you. So you're not
121
00:07:33,810 --> 00:07:37,650
just walking up and staring into bright lights. You don't know who's out there. You
122
00:07:37,650 --> 00:07:41,090
actually know that, you know, Julie's in the back doing
123
00:07:41,090 --> 00:07:44,730
audio and. And Tom is in and over here doing
124
00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:48,450
your presentation. You know the people so that that can set your mind at
125
00:07:48,450 --> 00:07:52,170
ease. Number two, it's important to focus
126
00:07:52,330 --> 00:07:56,090
before a presentation. So having a place that you can get in the right
127
00:07:56,090 --> 00:07:59,670
headspace. So attendee is, you know, you.
128
00:07:59,670 --> 00:08:03,470
We all go to these events. Sometimes you're speaking maybe
129
00:08:03,470 --> 00:08:07,310
at a networking event, and all day long you're just talking
130
00:08:07,310 --> 00:08:10,390
to people, Talking to people. And then if you have to go from that
131
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:14,630
straight up onto a stage and do your presentation, you really haven't had a time
132
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:18,470
to mentally prepare. And so if you can
133
00:08:18,470 --> 00:08:21,910
give your attendees, if you haven't Done green rooms before,
134
00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:25,830
consider it. And green rooms are not a diva experience
135
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:29,820
or extravagance. What they are really is for your presentation
136
00:08:29,890 --> 00:08:33,650
centers to have a place to get away for a moment before they go
137
00:08:33,650 --> 00:08:37,410
on to focus and get ready. This
138
00:08:37,410 --> 00:08:41,010
is where they take that rehearsal experience. And you can internalize,
139
00:08:41,010 --> 00:08:43,890
okay, when I walk out there, I can visualize what the stage is going to
140
00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:47,450
be like and you can kind of center focus, think about what you're going to
141
00:08:47,450 --> 00:08:51,210
say and then go out and, and this is, it's super
142
00:08:51,210 --> 00:08:54,690
important psychologically for most people. Very few people
143
00:08:55,090 --> 00:08:58,640
can go from like talk, talk, talk, a big, you know, all sorts
144
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,160
of stimulus and then walk on stage and do something incredibly
145
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,720
focused. There are people that can do that, but the vast majority of people need
146
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,560
a time, a place that they can focus. So green rooms, I would recommend green
147
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:12,960
rooms. Your AV team can help set that up as well. The second
148
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,680
piece or the third piece and the fourth have to do with
149
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:20,440
being on stage. Okay, so they've, they've been, your speakers were in a green
150
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,120
room. They, they walk up to do their presentation. There's two things
151
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,860
that happen. And remember I was talking about your body will betray
152
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:31,700
you with that fight or flight response. You forget what
153
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:35,380
you're talking about and you have a hard time hearing. You know, your
154
00:09:35,380 --> 00:09:39,060
senses that are always in your life have never let you down.
155
00:09:39,220 --> 00:09:43,060
Sometimes things you know when you're nervous happen. And so
156
00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:47,380
number one, downstage monitors, they're called DSMs.
157
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:51,260
These are the TVs that are at the downstage edge of the stage that are
158
00:09:51,260 --> 00:09:54,470
looking back at the, the presenter. A lot of you do this, some of you
159
00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:56,910
might not have done it. And the reason why it's important,
160
00:09:57,950 --> 00:10:01,710
one, you can put countdown timers there so people stay on, on track.
161
00:10:01,710 --> 00:10:05,550
That's good. And that keeps you on your schedule. That's important for long winded
162
00:10:05,550 --> 00:10:08,670
people to know when they need to wrap it up. But really
163
00:10:09,070 --> 00:10:12,670
it's the support of seeing the presentation that you have
164
00:10:12,910 --> 00:10:16,390
as you're talking without having to crane your neck and look at the other
165
00:10:16,390 --> 00:10:20,190
screens behind you. And that creates kind of an anxious
166
00:10:20,190 --> 00:10:23,710
experience if you don't, if you can't see your presentation, but if
167
00:10:24,010 --> 00:10:27,690
it right in front of you. These downstage monitors visually support
168
00:10:27,770 --> 00:10:31,410
you psychologically and also keep you on track. You know, you,
169
00:10:31,410 --> 00:10:34,610
your brain can kind of let out on you, but if you can see that,
170
00:10:34,610 --> 00:10:38,330
it helps you move forward in a calm way. These are,
171
00:10:38,410 --> 00:10:41,930
this is a supportive device that is helping
172
00:10:42,170 --> 00:10:45,610
your keynote speakers, your presenters, all the people on Your stage
173
00:10:45,770 --> 00:10:49,050
to feel great about being up there. Number two
174
00:10:49,850 --> 00:10:53,490
or the fourth piece, you know. But number two on stage that I would
175
00:10:53,490 --> 00:10:57,030
recommend is fold back speakers. These are the speakers that are on stage pointed back
176
00:10:57,030 --> 00:11:00,430
at presenters. And what that is, is they can hear
177
00:11:00,430 --> 00:11:03,750
themselves very well. A lot of times when you're in a large
178
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:07,350
ballroom or a large arena, the bigger the room
179
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:10,870
gets, the longer it takes for your voice to come out of the PA
180
00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:14,830
and bounce against the back wall and come back to your ears. And it
181
00:11:14,830 --> 00:11:18,350
can, that echo can really throw you off. It can really throw you off as
182
00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:22,070
a presenter. And so having foldback speakers on stage
183
00:11:22,070 --> 00:11:25,830
helps you hear yourself. And then it is a necessity if
184
00:11:25,830 --> 00:11:29,550
you have Q and A happening in the audience. So you can have those Q
185
00:11:29,550 --> 00:11:33,030
and A mics coming out of the fullback speaker and your, your
186
00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:36,310
presenters on stage can hear what people are asking.
187
00:11:37,270 --> 00:11:41,070
There is nothing worse than not being able
188
00:11:41,070 --> 00:11:44,350
to hear yourself or your mic cutting out, or not being able to see or
189
00:11:44,350 --> 00:11:47,950
your presentation goes out. All of these things are things
190
00:11:47,950 --> 00:11:51,740
that a great AV partner will ensure does
191
00:11:51,740 --> 00:11:55,460
not happen. But also because we work in live events,
192
00:11:55,460 --> 00:11:58,900
we know that occasionally things happen, but they have a plan B. They can quickly
193
00:11:58,900 --> 00:12:02,580
get up there with a new mic, they can quickly help support the presenter
194
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:05,100
if something goes wrong so that you can move on.
195
00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:09,660
I cannot stress enough that the better you feel
196
00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:13,620
on stage, the better you perform, the better your
197
00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:16,700
event is, the better experiences it is for your attendees.
198
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:20,820
Another story I could say to kind of tie that in is, have you
199
00:12:20,820 --> 00:12:23,530
ever seen maybe an amateur
200
00:12:24,170 --> 00:12:27,970
performer, maybe maybe a kid that's like, you know, just starting
201
00:12:27,970 --> 00:12:31,650
and they're, they're like a songwriter and they're. The first time they're on stage or
202
00:12:31,650 --> 00:12:35,490
something with their guitar or something and they're singing or their little keyboard, they're doing
203
00:12:35,490 --> 00:12:39,090
their song and it's, they're just very nervous and, and the
204
00:12:39,090 --> 00:12:42,890
feeling you get is you're really nervous for them, right? When they're not
205
00:12:42,890 --> 00:12:46,570
comfortable, the audience isn't comfortable. Now think about
206
00:12:46,570 --> 00:12:50,320
the last great show that you went to, and
207
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,040
that entertainer was up there and just had the audience in the palm of
208
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,760
their hands. They were like, they were in their power on stage.
209
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,080
You know, at the peak of their career, they knew what they were doing from
210
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,400
the moment they walked out to the moment they left. You were just like having
211
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,120
a great time. That's the difference between high confidence
212
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,720
on stage and low confidence. And so what we want to
213
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,400
do, because we deal mostly with amateurs on our stages at
214
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,240
corporate events, aside from the high level keynotes that you
215
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,060
come in, all the other speakers are not, not professionals, you
216
00:13:23,060 --> 00:13:26,260
know, they're not professional speakers. We want to make sure they feel
217
00:13:26,260 --> 00:13:29,900
incredibly supported so they can have all the confidence that they
218
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:33,540
possibly can have to deliver a great experience for your attendees.
219
00:13:34,020 --> 00:13:37,140
This is why I call it the gift of great AV
220
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:41,340
that you're giving to your presenters. You're supporting them in every way
221
00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:45,100
possible. There's a lot of psychology that happens when you're
222
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:48,830
on a stage and a great AV partner can help you mitigate
223
00:13:49,070 --> 00:13:52,870
some of the weird stuff that the human body does when you're
224
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:56,190
nervous on a stage. So amateurs
225
00:13:56,510 --> 00:14:00,110
need to feel supported and equipped. And also
226
00:14:00,350 --> 00:14:03,630
your professional speakers, they greatly appreciate
227
00:14:04,030 --> 00:14:07,550
having a well run, well oiled professional AV
228
00:14:07,630 --> 00:14:11,070
team because they go from event to event to event.
229
00:14:11,470 --> 00:14:14,990
And they're just more grateful in my experience that
230
00:14:14,990 --> 00:14:18,730
okay, we're working with professionals, let's move on, let's do this. There's no drama.
231
00:14:19,290 --> 00:14:23,010
These are reasons why that we need to take care of
232
00:14:23,010 --> 00:14:26,770
our people that go onto our stages. Let's think about them just for a little
233
00:14:26,770 --> 00:14:30,330
bit. I know there's a lot of planning that goes on. We all plan, we
234
00:14:30,330 --> 00:14:33,970
all have logistics. But think about your attendees and ask yourself,
235
00:14:33,970 --> 00:14:37,730
am I supporting them? Or think about your presenters and ask
236
00:14:37,730 --> 00:14:41,570
yourself, am I supporting them in a way that, that ensures
237
00:14:41,570 --> 00:14:45,280
that they can, they have the chance, they have the opportunity to give their best
238
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,880
performance for my attendees. I hope this
239
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,280
helped. Thank you for joining us on the Event Pro Show. We release an
240
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,800
episode once a week. We kind of do an alternating
241
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,360
schedule where one week I have an amazing guest that is
242
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,120
some sort of adjacent discipline
243
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,720
to corporate events in some way. They touch that general session
244
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,560
and I want to introduce you to them because there's just so many great people
245
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,140
I've met along the way. And then the other week I'll give you a little
246
00:15:13,140 --> 00:15:16,860
bit more drilled down tips about AV and how, how it
247
00:15:16,860 --> 00:15:20,540
can help you produce better corporate events.
248
00:15:20,780 --> 00:15:24,500

00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,280
exactly do you do that? Well, let's get into it.

9
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:41,140
Well, welcome to the Event Pro Show. I am your host, Seth Macchi. I
10
00:00:41,140 --> 00:00:44,900
am the CEO of lemg, which is an event production
11
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:48,500
company based in Charlotte, North Carolina. We travel all over the country
12
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:52,100
producing primarily corporate events. And I
13
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:55,700
say that because there's an issue that we need to talk about.
14
00:00:56,260 --> 00:00:59,160
I think we spend a lot of time, and even on, on this show we
15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,680
spend a lot of time talking about the planning of events and how to execute
16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,240
events from the, either the planner or the technical side
17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,840
or maybe some other adjacent discipline within corporate events.
18
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:13,880
But sometimes we forget about the actual human beings
19
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,200
that go on our stages and have to get up in front of our
20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,920
audiences and talk to them. And I would
21
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,400
like to talk about something called giving
22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,040
your keynote speakers or presenters the gift of creating
23
00:01:28,190 --> 00:01:31,870
great av. And the reason I call it that is I
24
00:01:31,870 --> 00:01:35,550
want to tell a little story personally of
25
00:01:35,550 --> 00:01:39,150
what it feels like to be on stage and present.
26
00:01:39,710 --> 00:01:43,430
And I'm not, I'm not talking about professional speakers.
27
00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:47,150
Now. They, they do in fact, you know, a lot of professional speakers, they
28
00:01:47,150 --> 00:01:50,830
deal with anxiety. A lot of front people in
29
00:01:50,830 --> 00:01:54,350
bands, you know, they're actually, a lot of them are introverts, but they've
30
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:58,260
figured out ways to be extroverts on stage and, and, and do
31
00:01:58,260 --> 00:02:02,060
really great. I'm talking about the type of person that is probably
32
00:02:02,060 --> 00:02:05,620
on your stage looks a lot more like me.
33
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:08,660
So let me give you an example. I grew up
34
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:13,380
doing all sorts of performing. You know, even, even I remember
35
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:16,740
in third grade being in a play that was my first singing
36
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:20,540
solo was in third grade or it was a duet. That was fun.
37
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:24,180
And then all throughout my life I was in choirs, I was in band
38
00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:28,560
and I got a little older regular bands and, and
39
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,360
did that kind of stuff. Always was singing or talking in front of
40
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,200
people. And then as I got into my professional career, I started to
41
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,440
develop the ability to do public speaking.
42
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,920
Now I would not ever say that I
43
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:47,640
am a professional public speaker. I know them, I appreciate
44
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:51,120
them. They are fantastic. They set the audience
45
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,160
at ease. The moment they get on stage, they have people engaged and
46
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,920
they do their whole thing, they walk off stage, people feel insp.
47
00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:02,460
And you know, some action, some great positive thing when they do it,
48
00:03:02,540 --> 00:03:05,740
that is not me. You know, I can get in front of people and I
49
00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:09,380
can speak if I need to. It's a necessity thing and I can find,
50
00:03:09,380 --> 00:03:13,140
you know, the ability to do that. But I pull from a
51
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:16,820
lot of my background and you know, growing up, being on
52
00:03:16,820 --> 00:03:20,140
different stages and, and all of that, it is still
53
00:03:20,140 --> 00:03:23,860
uncomfortable. Now most of the people that
54
00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:26,820
speak at corporate events are some sort of
55
00:03:26,820 --> 00:03:30,520
executives, manager, someone telling story
56
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,320
of what happened at the company, you know, or something that
57
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,920
they are a normal employee in a company, they're not a
58
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,680
professional entertainer or speaker, but they have to get up on your
59
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,160
stage and they have to speak. And that
60
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,560
is. And a lot of you even thinking about that right now gives you
61
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,640
anxiety. The fact the thought of you getting up in front of people
62
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,080
gives you anxiety. And you're in a huge
63
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,790
group of company there, a huge percentage of the United States
64
00:03:59,790 --> 00:04:02,230
or just people on the globe feel the same way.
65
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:07,710
I did a quick Google search before I talked and so don't quote me
66
00:04:07,710 --> 00:04:11,270
on this, but I believe it, that it's generally true.
67
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:14,310
75% of people fear public speaking.
68
00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:18,950
More people fear public speaking
69
00:04:19,190 --> 00:04:22,310
than fear death. So a larger percentage of the population
70
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:27,310
thinks more about anxiety as it pertains to public speaking
71
00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:30,960
than they do about their own death, which is crazy. Something
72
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,680
like 85% experience some level of
73
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,200
anxiety when thinking about public speaking. So you're talking about the vast majority of
74
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,920
people. If this was a political vote, that would be a landslide. So
75
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,760
most people feel uncomfortable on a stage. So that's
76
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,480
the backdrop of what I want to talk about is that we can do all
77
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,080
the planning and the room looks great, the experience is great for the
78
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,800
attendee. But are we thinking about the journey of our
79
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,290
speakers from before, during and
80
00:05:00,290 --> 00:05:04,130
after their presentation and what is that like? Well, I
81
00:05:04,130 --> 00:05:07,570
want to talk about four main milestones or points in time
82
00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:11,650
when I think that partnering with a great AV company can help
83
00:05:11,730 --> 00:05:15,570
address anxiety and why it's important to work with a
84
00:05:15,570 --> 00:05:18,930
great AV partner, if for nothing else
85
00:05:19,250 --> 00:05:22,890
than to set your presenters up for success. So the
86
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:25,970
first place that I would say is very helpful
87
00:05:26,930 --> 00:05:30,770
for a presenter is in rehearsals. So rehearsals
88
00:05:30,770 --> 00:05:34,130
is a time that is a set aside time when
89
00:05:34,210 --> 00:05:38,050
nobody's working on the set, nobody's in the room other than
90
00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:40,930
people maybe part of the production or part of the leadership team
91
00:05:41,890 --> 00:05:45,650
and the presenter can go through in whatever way makes
92
00:05:45,650 --> 00:05:49,490
them Comfortable their presentation. And so I've seen just like a,
93
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:53,370
you know, cue to cue or looking from slide to slide. They just want to
94
00:05:53,370 --> 00:05:56,050
see what it looks like in the room. They get to walk on the stage.
95
00:05:56,530 --> 00:06:00,150
Maybe they'll put a microphone on and just hear what it sounds like to speak
96
00:06:00,150 --> 00:06:03,750
in a space and just get comfortable. Just get
97
00:06:03,750 --> 00:06:07,550
comfortable. If you have never experienced speaking in front of people,
98
00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:11,870
it can be such a bizarre thing. You can
99
00:06:12,350 --> 00:06:15,790
be as prepared as possible. You did all of your at home
100
00:06:16,750 --> 00:06:20,390
talking in a mirror, practicing and everything. But when you
101
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:24,150
step onto a stage in a. In a unique space that you haven't
102
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:27,810
been in, it could seem cavernous. If you're not hearing
103
00:06:27,810 --> 00:06:30,610
things well, echoes are coming back to you.
104
00:06:31,410 --> 00:06:35,090
There is something very real to this fight or
105
00:06:35,090 --> 00:06:38,890
flight response in humans where weird things happen. You get
106
00:06:38,890 --> 00:06:42,570
dry mouth, you forget what you were talking about, about something that
107
00:06:42,570 --> 00:06:46,370
you're an expert in, and it just leaves you. Your body just abandons
108
00:06:46,370 --> 00:06:50,050
you, your mind abandons you. So a rehearsal is a great place
109
00:06:50,050 --> 00:06:53,810
to begin to get those things out of your system.
110
00:06:54,270 --> 00:06:57,990
You know, at least you can picture now before you come back on for your
111
00:06:57,990 --> 00:07:01,670
real presentation, what the experience is like once you get up there. And that
112
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:05,510
alone can reduce anxiety, you know, by huge
113
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:08,870
percentage, depending on the person. That can be a huge
114
00:07:08,870 --> 00:07:12,430
difference between feeling confident and not walking
115
00:07:12,430 --> 00:07:15,990
up in your normal presentation. So that's the rehearsal
116
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:19,750
experience. The rehearsal experience. You get to hear things. You also get to meet
117
00:07:19,750 --> 00:07:22,910
the technical team if that's part of that rehearsal experience.
118
00:07:23,390 --> 00:07:27,170
So not just like sound people and all of that, but you
119
00:07:27,170 --> 00:07:31,010
can meet the person that's controlling your graphics, work on your presentation a
120
00:07:31,010 --> 00:07:33,810
little bit. You get to know the people that are supporting you. So you're not
121
00:07:33,810 --> 00:07:37,650
just walking up and staring into bright lights. You don't know who's out there. You
122
00:07:37,650 --> 00:07:41,090
actually know that, you know, Julie's in the back doing
123
00:07:41,090 --> 00:07:44,730
audio and. And Tom is in and over here doing
124
00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:48,450
your presentation. You know the people so that that can set your mind at
125
00:07:48,450 --> 00:07:52,170
ease. Number two, it's important to focus
126
00:07:52,330 --> 00:07:56,090
before a presentation. So having a place that you can get in the right
127
00:07:56,090 --> 00:07:59,670
headspace. So attendee is, you know, you.
128
00:07:59,670 --> 00:08:03,470
We all go to these events. Sometimes you're speaking maybe
129
00:08:03,470 --> 00:08:07,310
at a networking event, and all day long you're just talking
130
00:08:07,310 --> 00:08:10,390
to people, Talking to people. And then if you have to go from that
131
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:14,630
straight up onto a stage and do your presentation, you really haven't had a time
132
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:18,470
to mentally prepare. And so if you can
133
00:08:18,470 --> 00:08:21,910
give your attendees, if you haven't Done green rooms before,
134
00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:25,830
consider it. And green rooms are not a diva experience
135
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:29,820
or extravagance. What they are really is for your presentation
136
00:08:29,890 --> 00:08:33,650
centers to have a place to get away for a moment before they go
137
00:08:33,650 --> 00:08:37,410
on to focus and get ready. This
138
00:08:37,410 --> 00:08:41,010
is where they take that rehearsal experience. And you can internalize,
139
00:08:41,010 --> 00:08:43,890
okay, when I walk out there, I can visualize what the stage is going to
140
00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:47,450
be like and you can kind of center focus, think about what you're going to
141
00:08:47,450 --> 00:08:51,210
say and then go out and, and this is, it's super
142
00:08:51,210 --> 00:08:54,690
important psychologically for most people. Very few people
143
00:08:55,090 --> 00:08:58,640
can go from like talk, talk, talk, a big, you know, all sorts
144
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,160
of stimulus and then walk on stage and do something incredibly
145
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,720
focused. There are people that can do that, but the vast majority of people need
146
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,560
a time, a place that they can focus. So green rooms, I would recommend green
147
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:12,960
rooms. Your AV team can help set that up as well. The second
148
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,680
piece or the third piece and the fourth have to do with
149
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:20,440
being on stage. Okay, so they've, they've been, your speakers were in a green
150
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,120
room. They, they walk up to do their presentation. There's two things
151
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,860
that happen. And remember I was talking about your body will betray
152
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:31,700
you with that fight or flight response. You forget what
153
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:35,380
you're talking about and you have a hard time hearing. You know, your
154
00:09:35,380 --> 00:09:39,060
senses that are always in your life have never let you down.
155
00:09:39,220 --> 00:09:43,060
Sometimes things you know when you're nervous happen. And so
156
00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:47,380
number one, downstage monitors, they're called DSMs.
157
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:51,260
These are the TVs that are at the downstage edge of the stage that are
158
00:09:51,260 --> 00:09:54,470
looking back at the, the presenter. A lot of you do this, some of you
159
00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:56,910
might not have done it. And the reason why it's important,
160
00:09:57,950 --> 00:10:01,710
one, you can put countdown timers there so people stay on, on track.
161
00:10:01,710 --> 00:10:05,550
That's good. And that keeps you on your schedule. That's important for long winded
162
00:10:05,550 --> 00:10:08,670
people to know when they need to wrap it up. But really
163
00:10:09,070 --> 00:10:12,670
it's the support of seeing the presentation that you have
164
00:10:12,910 --> 00:10:16,390
as you're talking without having to crane your neck and look at the other
165
00:10:16,390 --> 00:10:20,190
screens behind you. And that creates kind of an anxious
166
00:10:20,190 --> 00:10:23,710
experience if you don't, if you can't see your presentation, but if
167
00:10:24,010 --> 00:10:27,690
it right in front of you. These downstage monitors visually support
168
00:10:27,770 --> 00:10:31,410
you psychologically and also keep you on track. You know, you,
169
00:10:31,410 --> 00:10:34,610
your brain can kind of let out on you, but if you can see that,
170
00:10:34,610 --> 00:10:38,330
it helps you move forward in a calm way. These are,
171
00:10:38,410 --> 00:10:41,930
this is a supportive device that is helping
172
00:10:42,170 --> 00:10:45,610
your keynote speakers, your presenters, all the people on Your stage
173
00:10:45,770 --> 00:10:49,050
to feel great about being up there. Number two
174
00:10:49,850 --> 00:10:53,490
or the fourth piece, you know. But number two on stage that I would
175
00:10:53,490 --> 00:10:57,030
recommend is fold back speakers. These are the speakers that are on stage pointed back
176
00:10:57,030 --> 00:11:00,430
at presenters. And what that is, is they can hear
177
00:11:00,430 --> 00:11:03,750
themselves very well. A lot of times when you're in a large
178
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:07,350
ballroom or a large arena, the bigger the room
179
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:10,870
gets, the longer it takes for your voice to come out of the PA
180
00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:14,830
and bounce against the back wall and come back to your ears. And it
181
00:11:14,830 --> 00:11:18,350
can, that echo can really throw you off. It can really throw you off as
182
00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:22,070
a presenter. And so having foldback speakers on stage
183
00:11:22,070 --> 00:11:25,830
helps you hear yourself. And then it is a necessity if
184
00:11:25,830 --> 00:11:29,550
you have Q and A happening in the audience. So you can have those Q
185
00:11:29,550 --> 00:11:33,030
and A mics coming out of the fullback speaker and your, your
186
00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:36,310
presenters on stage can hear what people are asking.
187
00:11:37,270 --> 00:11:41,070
There is nothing worse than not being able
188
00:11:41,070 --> 00:11:44,350
to hear yourself or your mic cutting out, or not being able to see or
189
00:11:44,350 --> 00:11:47,950
your presentation goes out. All of these things are things
190
00:11:47,950 --> 00:11:51,740
that a great AV partner will ensure does
191
00:11:51,740 --> 00:11:55,460
not happen. But also because we work in live events,
192
00:11:55,460 --> 00:11:58,900
we know that occasionally things happen, but they have a plan B. They can quickly
193
00:11:58,900 --> 00:12:02,580
get up there with a new mic, they can quickly help support the presenter
194
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:05,100
if something goes wrong so that you can move on.
195
00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:09,660
I cannot stress enough that the better you feel
196
00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:13,620
on stage, the better you perform, the better your
197
00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:16,700
event is, the better experiences it is for your attendees.
198
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:20,820
Another story I could say to kind of tie that in is, have you
199
00:12:20,820 --> 00:12:23,530
ever seen maybe an amateur
200
00:12:24,170 --> 00:12:27,970
performer, maybe maybe a kid that's like, you know, just starting
201
00:12:27,970 --> 00:12:31,650
and they're, they're like a songwriter and they're. The first time they're on stage or
202
00:12:31,650 --> 00:12:35,490
something with their guitar or something and they're singing or their little keyboard, they're doing
203
00:12:35,490 --> 00:12:39,090
their song and it's, they're just very nervous and, and the
204
00:12:39,090 --> 00:12:42,890
feeling you get is you're really nervous for them, right? When they're not
205
00:12:42,890 --> 00:12:46,570
comfortable, the audience isn't comfortable. Now think about
206
00:12:46,570 --> 00:12:50,320
the last great show that you went to, and
207
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,040
that entertainer was up there and just had the audience in the palm of
208
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,760
their hands. They were like, they were in their power on stage.
209
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,080
You know, at the peak of their career, they knew what they were doing from
210
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,400
the moment they walked out to the moment they left. You were just like having
211
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,120
a great time. That's the difference between high confidence
212
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,720
on stage and low confidence. And so what we want to
213
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,400
do, because we deal mostly with amateurs on our stages at
214
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,240
corporate events, aside from the high level keynotes that you
215
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,060
come in, all the other speakers are not, not professionals, you
216
00:13:23,060 --> 00:13:26,260
know, they're not professional speakers. We want to make sure they feel
217
00:13:26,260 --> 00:13:29,900
incredibly supported so they can have all the confidence that they
218
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:33,540
possibly can have to deliver a great experience for your attendees.
219
00:13:34,020 --> 00:13:37,140
This is why I call it the gift of great AV
220
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:41,340
that you're giving to your presenters. You're supporting them in every way
221
00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:45,100
possible. There's a lot of psychology that happens when you're
222
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:48,830
on a stage and a great AV partner can help you mitigate
223
00:13:49,070 --> 00:13:52,870
some of the weird stuff that the human body does when you're
224
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:56,190
nervous on a stage. So amateurs
225
00:13:56,510 --> 00:14:00,110
need to feel supported and equipped. And also
226
00:14:00,350 --> 00:14:03,630
your professional speakers, they greatly appreciate
227
00:14:04,030 --> 00:14:07,550
having a well run, well oiled professional AV
228
00:14:07,630 --> 00:14:11,070
team because they go from event to event to event.
229
00:14:11,470 --> 00:14:14,990
And they're just more grateful in my experience that
230
00:14:14,990 --> 00:14:18,730
okay, we're working with professionals, let's move on, let's do this. There's no drama.
231
00:14:19,290 --> 00:14:23,010
These are reasons why that we need to take care of
232
00:14:23,010 --> 00:14:26,770
our people that go onto our stages. Let's think about them just for a little
233
00:14:26,770 --> 00:14:30,330
bit. I know there's a lot of planning that goes on. We all plan, we
234
00:14:30,330 --> 00:14:33,970
all have logistics. But think about your attendees and ask yourself,
235
00:14:33,970 --> 00:14:37,730
am I supporting them? Or think about your presenters and ask
236
00:14:37,730 --> 00:14:41,570
yourself, am I supporting them in a way that, that ensures
237
00:14:41,570 --> 00:14:45,280
that they can, they have the chance, they have the opportunity to give their best
238
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,880
performance for my attendees. I hope this
239
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,280
helped. Thank you for joining us on the Event Pro Show. We release an
240
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,800
episode once a week. We kind of do an alternating
241
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,360
schedule where one week I have an amazing guest that is
242
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,120
some sort of adjacent discipline
243
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,720
to corporate events in some way. They touch that general session
244
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,560
and I want to introduce you to them because there's just so many great people
245
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,140
I've met along the way. And then the other week I'll give you a little
246
00:15:13,140 --> 00:15:16,860
bit more drilled down tips about AV and how, how it
247
00:15:16,860 --> 00:15:20,540
can help you produce better corporate events.
248
00:15:20,780 --> 00:15:24,500
