The white line below is where the main event took place. The other shapes - square and triangle - are what COMPLETE the performance. Whenever you present, YOU are that white line… BUT!We can't forget the other shapes. --------- THE WHITE LINE: This is where 4 incredibly talented African American women stood to perform. They stole the show Sunday night, singing a collection from the great jazz music of Sarah Vaughan, (unknown to me before this night). 📍 This is you. when you present, are you ready to command the stage, steal the show, rouse the audience and blend with the proverbial orchestra that accompanies you? THE WHITE SQUARE: Holy cow, without the square… The performers are dead in the water. This was for me, the BBC Orchestra and they were magnificent. They supported the singers and made them look and feel and sound incredible. 📍 This is your slide deck or script. When your deck and script are beautifully written… Beautifully composed… They support you like none other. What if the orchestra sounded bad, ugly? The same is true for your slides. If you don't have beautiful slides, you don't have a beautiful performance. 📍THE WHITE TRIANGLE: This of course is the most important part of the photo and your event. Everything must be about the audience, as it was for us on Sunday. The whole event's purpose is for US. The whole purpose of YOUR white line and your square is for your triangle. Who is in your triangle? Is it investors, internal stakeholders, partnerships, your own team? --- To pull off a magnificent event, all 3 must be in flow. "In flow" means each shape has thought about the other, been considered in totality, and developed with precision. -/----------- That's what we do here at On Point Communications, LLC. We help people balance these shapes their own messages and their own Royal Albert Hall. DM us today. We have openings for 1:1 exec coaching programs. We are scheduling Q1 trainings and annual meetings for teams. #PresentationSkills #Team #AnnualMeeting #Innovation #ExecutivePresence #ScienceAndTech #Events

I wish I could be at the Guild Of Music Supervisors State Of Music In Media event this weekend. I’m still enjoying my time in ATL (after dropping our daughter off at college) and preparing for a networking event tomorrow. Now, you might think: "You’re skipping the event because you have other priorities" "It’s easy to say, but networking in person is vital" "You’re missing out on crucial opportunities" The truth is → Sometimes, you have to choose where you invest your energy, and here’s what I suggest for those attending: ✅Do Your Homework: Research the attendees, panelists, and speakers. ❌Show up unprepared: No goals. Not having your "elevator pitch" down. ✅Bring Your Essentials: Business cards / QR codes, DISCO links, a portable charger! ❌Have nothing: No prepared links/references, no quick access to your info. ✅Follow Up: The event doesn’t end when you leave. Follow up on conversations. ❌Meet and forget: You meet someone. You don't *connect with them. ✅Give as Much as You Get: Offer help, advice, or connections. ❌Have a "give me" attitude: Looking for how they can help you. This is my advice → Arrive prepared, but also be ready to embrace whatever connections and opportunities may come your way. Don’t get me wrong… I love networking and connecting with people in person. But I also know the value of focusing on the connections you already have, nurturing them, and continuing to build them. There will always be more events to attend. There will always be more people to meet. There will always be more opportunities to seize. I’m not obsessed with attending every event. I’m obsessed with making meaningful connections and maintaining the relationships I’ve already built. Just a reminder to stay open to whatever opportunities come your way, my friends… Have an amazing time at GMS State Of Music In Media and I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures, insights, and stories! 🌟 #guildofmusicsupervisors #networking #musicbusiness #synclicensing #musicmarket

Welcome to Trade Show Tip Tuesday!! 🥳🎉 This week's tip...Use your phone effectively at your booth, but don't be on your phone. Wait, what??? Okay I guess the best way to put it is that when you're in your booth, you should use your phone in ways that will help you be more effective. I'll explain in a second. On the flip side, don't use your phone like you do every other day of the year. For example, say you are an attendee walking the show and you go to approach a booth and one person is on their phone apparently texting or scrolling or maybe they're talking on it. Would you go up to that person and engage them? Or would you go to somebody who is standing without a phone and smiling and ready to engage? So don't use your phone like a phone! Put it in your pocket or within reach, and turn off your ringer and notifications. That way it's not going to distract you. But when you need it, it's right nearby! So when is it appropriate to use your phone at the booth? Here's a few ideas... 📸 Pull it out and take a selfie with someone you just had a great conversation with! Then you could send it to them in a follow-up email. 📸 Use selfies and pics of attendees to post on social. 📲 Have your calendar open to book follow ups right there before the attendee leaves. 🎦 Immediately after an attendee leaves your booth, take a selfie video capturing the key points of your conversation. 🎦 Make a video follow up message right after a conversation to send to an attendee. Be sure then to put your phone away again and get back to engaging more attendees!! There's just a few ideas. What other ways do you use your phone?? ------------------------ ▶️ I'm Jim Cermak 🙋♂️ My passions are Training and Trade Shows Want to talk about improving your trade show strategy? DM me!
