How hard is it for YOU to create and deliver a 5-minute presentation?

You probably know the statistics…

The fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of millions of the people on this planet.

For many people, the fear of public speaking ranks even higher than the fear of death or even disease.

But what happens when you have even less time to present?

  • What happens to your fear?

They get worse…

For the majority of people, the 5-minute presentation is the most challenging to create and deliver…

Mark Twain once said,

  • “If you want me to give you a two-hour presentation, I am ready today. If you want only a five-minute speech, it will take me two weeks to prepare.” –Mark Twain

That’s because you only get five minutes to show credibility, build rapport, engage the audience, get your message across, and close to action (and applause)…

So, it actually takes more time to prepare…

And, it becomes even harder to deliver…

And still, the BEST public speakers in history are often the ones show know how to create and/or deliver give an amazing 5 minute talks…

  • Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address in less than 5 minutes..

  • William Shakespeare wrote his “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears…” speech to be delivered by Mark Antony in less than 5 minutes..

  • Lou Gehrig’s “Farewell to Baseball Address” had his greatest moments summed in less than 5 minutes as he said, “…I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth”

  • Even most best man and maid of honor speeches are 5 minutes or less…

What about you?

What happens to you when you find out you have to give a 5-minute (or less) presentation or speech?

I decided to find out…

I interviewed over 500 presenters from beginners to advanced and everywhere in between and asked them to tell me the top-ten things they worry about when it comes to giving a five minute presentation…

Here’s what they said…

(Ask yourself if you’ve ever had any worries like these…)

Top 10 worries of a 5-min presentation…

  1. “Going over time and not finishing what I need to get across.”

  2. “Forgetting something important to say.”

  3. “Not getting their attention or I’ll be boring.”

  4. “Technology might not work or I won’t know how to use it.”

  5. “Getting stage fright, shaky voice/hands or want to throw-up.”

  6. “They won’t understand what I’m saying.”

  7. “They’ll miss the why I’m saying it.”

  8. “Mics won’t work or I’ll speak too loud or too quiet.”

  9. “The audience is distracted or being distracting.”

  10. “I won’t be convincing.”

To help you stand up and deliver an amazing 5-minute presentation that breaks down barriers and open doors (with less nerves and fear), we created...

Five : How to Give an Amazing Five Minute Presentation

With this step-by-step training plan, you’ll have a proven system you can follow to give an amazing (no-fear) five-minute presentation.

Successful people can share their ideas clearly, powerfully, and succinctly (i.e. in less than 5-10 minutes).

A member of the Cabinet congratulated Woodrow Wilson on introducing the vogue of short speeches and asked him about the time it took him to prepare his speeches. He said:

  • “It depends. If I am to speak ten minutes, I need a week for preparation; if fifteen minutes, three days; if half an hour, two days; if an hour, I am ready now” –Woodrow Wilson

While the rest of the world continues to struggle to create and deliver 5-minute speeches…

…you’ll learn new techniques for

  1. Creating irresistible content

  2. Practicing to perfection

  3. Delivering a powerful impression

Which means instead of losing your audience, you’ll get them to take action in less than 5 minutes.

So how do we transform how you give short presentations?

Like I said, this is an 18-step recipe…

In steps 1 – 12, you’ll learn how to create irresistible five minute content…

Specifically…

  • How to create content that audiences will listen to without being distracting…

  • The exact 5-minute “hooks formula” to identify what your audience wants and why they want it…

  • Super quick and cool slideshow techniques that get their attention and are incredibly engaging in less than 5 minutes…

  • How to create your presentation so that you finish on time in 5-minutes or less and get across everything you need to…

  • The best way to write your blueprint (not a script) so that you’ll remember each of the important things you want to say…

  • Our very own 5-minute presentation modeled for you so that you know why you’re saying and doing what you’re doing…

In steps 13 – 18, you’ll learn how to practice it to perfection and deliver a powerful impression in less than 5 minutes…

In these final steps, we’ll cover

  • The 5-minute opener that immediately engages your audience and gets them to want to hear more from you…

  • Preparation and practice techniques so that technology (and other) snafus won’t affect your presentation...

  • How to overcome “5-minute stage fright” and deliver a powerful impression and continue to present with confidence…

  • The exact steps to deliver a compelling message so they will understand exactly what you’re saying…

  • How to practice your “5-minute voice” so microphones will become your friend rather than your enemy…

  • The 5-minute close that shows you were convincing, inspiring, enjoyable and motivating (and ends right on time)…

If this recipe sounds difficult, don’t worry: we make everything simple, easy to understand, and quick to learn.

In fact, you can complete the entire training in just two hours.

Which means that by this time tomorrow, you’ll be able to say with confidence:

“Finally, I know EXACTLY how to create an irresistible 5-minute presentation, practice it to perfection, and deliver a powerful impression.”

Instead of creating your presentation again and again and doubting yourself, doubting the content, and doubting how you’re going to deliver it in 5 minutes or less…

You can boost your self-confidence: trusting and being confident that you can create it succinctly, practice it effectively, and deliver it quickly.

You’ll have a confidence to present anything in 5 minutes or less…

With a proven system for being more effective at short presentations.

And as your audience grows…

You’ll be able to talk in front of bigger and bigger groups…

…delivering a confident, articulate, eloquent five-minute talk with no nervousness showing.

We know this process works, because it’s the same system that helped hundreds of our clients conquer their fear of public speaking.

…and you’ll get to see me model exactly how to do it with a live audience…

Instead of trying to create, practice and deliver 5-minute presentations on your own…wasting your time, patience, and valuable 5-minute dollars trying to figure out how this process works…

You can simply follow our

Reach more people with your passion by creating the right things to say in the right way.

To engage your audience members, the theme of your presentation must appear to have value to them and be in line with their goals. It is essential you know what specific topics will be of interest. The best way is to ask them.

Create Your Tasks

Go through the takeaways one by one. Begin by asking yourself, “Does the audience know how to do this?” This is unlikely, of course, since if the audience already knew how to make those takeaways happen, they wouldn’t be at your presentation.

So you need to come up with tasks—procedures or actions that make the takeaways possible. I suggest that a presenter come up with about three tasks for each takeaway. You describe the tasks in exactly the same way you described the takeaways.

Create Your Subtasks

Once you’ve defined the tasks, go over each one individually and ask yourself if the people in your audience would know how to carry it out. If not, then you have to come up with at least one subtask. Go through the same process as in creating the task. Use an action verb, as few words as possible, and clear and simple language.

Create Your Examples

The example is the final level of the task hierarchy. A good presenter gets to it as quickly as possible. It is the most powerful way to ensure that your audience knows how to do what you suggest.

Create Your Title

Your title is key. It’s the main mystery. It’s what motivates your audience to attend your presentation in the first place—an immediately useful, measurable outcome or benefit they will take away from the presentation as a whole.

Once you have figured out your takeaways, you have defined exactly what your presentation is about, so you are ready to summarize them in one phrase: the title. Go through the same process as he did in creating the takeaways, with slight modifications.

Create Your Takeaway Hooks

Telling people how you will meet their emotional needs—how you will relieve their pain points and enhance their pleasure points—is what makes them crave what you have to say.

Create Your Main Presentation Hook

Once you have the hooks for each takeaway, you can create the main hook for the entire presentation. Just as the main title was a summary of your takeaways, the main hook is a summary of your takeaway hooks. Find it this way.

First, review the takeaway hooks. It might help you to underline the key words that correspond to pain points or pleasure points. For each takeaway hook, underline the key words that correspond to the most powerful pain points and pleasure points of your audience. Then add the title of your presentation at the very end of the main hook.

Map Out Your Message

Once you have created your irresistible menu and your tantalizing core content, your next task is to combine your words with slides and create a PowerPoint presentation.

Prepare to take your game to the next level and even cue yourself without losing your audience.

The primary need of your audience is to feel safe with you and among their peers, so that’s what you must deal with first. Once they trust you, they will feel safe. The best way to start is with a thoroughly rehearsed strong opening.

To connect with your audience, even before you say a word, you have to make an impressive physical impression. To do that, your first need to practice your presentation the right way. Prepare to take your game to the next level and even cue yourself without losing your audience.

Fulfill dreams and goals by inspiring and motivating your audience to take action in their lives.

If you tell me you have a panic attack the moment you stand in front of your audience, I’ll bet I know what your problem is. And—though all these things matter—it’s not because of how you’re standing or that your voice is cracking or that you’re talking too loud or too fast or that you’re sweating. It’s not because of anything you are doing. It’s what you are not doing.

You haven’t kept your focus. You’ve forgotten that the presentation isn’t about you; it’s about your audience. When you’re meeting the audience members for the first time, when you’re making that first impression, how you’re feeling and what you’re doing doesn’t matter as much as how they’re doing and how they’re feeling. You should be concentrating on their feelings and their needs.
