Como você pode construir resiliência para uma apresentação bem-sucedida para um grande público?

This past year I was invited to speak a the Indiana Society for Respiratory Care. This was one of my first times traveling part way across country to speak to a room full of Respiratory Therapists on the history of ABG's as well as discuss the role of venous blood gases and analytical errors. I practiced and practiced, I modified and enhanced my presentation until it was perfect. Was I nervous, yes, but I was not scared. I prepared and studied, memorized and ensured that even of there was technical error, and there was one minor glitch, I would stay calm, cool and collected. I inadvertently hit the wrong button and advanced my slides... the room laughed, so did I, made the adjustments and never looked back, that is resilience.

Building resilience is essential for successful presentations, especially when facing a large audience. Resilience helps you navigate unexpected challenges, manage nerves, and maintain composure during the presentation. Here are strategies to build resilience for a successful presentation to a large audience: Preparation and Rehearsal: Thoroughly prepare and rehearse your presentation. Familiarity with your content boosts confidence and resilience, enabling you to handle unexpected situations with ease. Anticipate Challenges: Identify potential challenges or obstacles that may arise during the presentation. Preparing for the unexpected helps you react calmly and find solutions in the moment.

Practice makes perfect. Rehearsing your presentation in the car, in front of peers or even family will help you master the material, ease your mind and allow you to refine and perfect your presentation

Mistakes happen.. it's part of life. be prepared for technology "hiccups" and inadvertant errors. I once watched a brand new speaker at the AARC congress have her presentation not load. she had to upload slides for her thumb drive. She never lost her cool, she managed the stress well and gave a great presentation.

In my experience connecting with and engaging with your audience lends itself to better performance and resilience. Making eye contact with audience members, walking across the stage and away from the podium, take time to stop and present engaging and fun facts not listed on your slides and ask questions or make key points that allow for audience engagement.
