On episode 68 of Dominate Your Day, Dana Williams and Mike Pacchione discuss the importance of individualizing one's own speaking style to communicate with impact and harness the power of storytelling. In the episode, they talk about how when a speaker knows their strengths they find their own path of presenting and engaging with the audience. Pacchione emphasizes the importance of starting strong, owning one's quirks, and modeling the emotion one wants the audience to feel. Accordingly, the audience feels the emotions you feel, as it heavily ripples across the room.
Dana and Mike discuss the idea of coaching the audience - modeling the behavior and emotion that one wants the audience to have. When giving a presentation, think about your unique talent stack, which consists of a unique combination of skills and experiences one garnered. By owning and emphasizing one's talent stack, you can stand out as a speaker or leader.
Overall, the goal of public speaking, communications, and presentations is individualizing one's style, focusing on strengths, and modeling the desired emotion and behavior, so you can engage the audience and leave a lasting impression.
