Transform Your Speaking Events with the Power of Reset

Jan 03, 2025

As a speaker or event organizer, you know that unexpected situations can arise during presentations. In this post, I'll share a powerful technique that can help you maintain composure and deliver excellence, no matter what challenges emerge during your event.



When you're on stage or managing an event, technical difficulties, audience disruptions, or memory blanks can throw you off your game. But what if you could instantly recover and continue delivering value? That's where the power of RESET comes in.


The Reset Principle in Action


During speaking engagements, every moment is an opportunity to connect with your audience. When something goes wrong, you don't have to let it affect your entire presentation.


Here's how:

  1. Acknowledge the situation without dwelling on it
  2. Use reset as your mental trigger to move forward
  3. Create a fresh connection with your audience


Two Ways to Catch Yourself:

  1. The Pause Technique: When thrown off track, take a deliberate pause, smile, and reset your delivery.
  2. The Bridge Method: Use transitional phrases like "Speaking of which..." to reset and redirect to your next point.


Three Ways to Apply This in Speaking:

  1. Pre-Event Reset: Use this technique before going on stage to clear any nervous energy.
  2. Mid-Presentation Recovery: Apply reset when transitioning between segments, especially after challenging moments.
  3. Q&A Management: Reset between questions to ensure each answer is fresh and focused.


Book your next speaking engagement with confidence, knowing you have this powerful tool in your arsenal.
