Hi

I am going to host the first ever cafe awareness program this week in my company.

I would welcome any suggestions from experienced members here, my program will be for the whole company in general

Hi,
My experience tell me that is very important to work out powerfull questions. Join a diverse team representing the participants, and draft relevant questions. Then check out the questions with other people to find out reactions. That's a long way

Then, pay attention to the room, to have everything to create the right atmosphere. It is going to be different to other meetings.

finally, I practice this exercise before the event:
The Seven Crown Jewels of Public Speaking Presence
1. Slow down. Savor the moment....................... Breathe.
2. Become aware of your body: Feel your feet on the ground.
3. Remember: Where you put your attention, that’s where energy goes.
4. Think of it as a conversation, not a presentation.
5. Ask yourself: How can I be of service? Instead of: How can I be perfect and show my expertise?
6. Smile: Both to be kind to yourself and to be open to your audience.
7. Trust the power of silence!

GOOD LUCK
