Resultations Method℠
When the outcome matters, how you present is no longer a detail.
The Resultations Method℠ aligns your message, visuals, and delivery to protect credibility, reduce risk, and ensure your message lands when it matters most.
Resultations Method℠ - Methodology
In high-stakes environments, presentations don’t just communicate. They influence decisions, alignment, and outcomes.
When message, structure, and delivery are even slightly off, the cost shows up in missed opportunities, slowed momentum, and weakened credibility.
The Resultations Method℠ is built to protect those outcomes. It aligns every element of the presentation so leaders and teams don’t just deliver information they move decisions forward with clarity and confidence.
The Proven Method
How it works
Phase One of the Resultations Method℠ includes a design audit of current presentations and an assessment of presenting delivery skills. These activities provide the clarity needed to identify presentation strengths and uncover skill improvement opportunities in presentation design and delivery.
This information is carried forward into the next activity of Phase One as we start to update or create a new presentation using my trademarked blueprint approach.
The Be Brilliant Blueprint is not a simple fill-in-the-blank document, brainstorming session, or outline.
- It's a templatized technique for clarifying
- The presentation's goals and purpose.
- The characteristics and needs of your audience.
- The quality data you'll collect to measure success.
- It's a 10,000-foot view of your presentation, helping you clearly see how you'll guide your audience through the content and persuade them to complete your call to action.
- It's the stop-gap needed to save time, reduce stress, and ensure every presentation gets the job done – becoming a brilliant resultation.
Consistently, clients tell me Phase One includes approaches and activities they’ve never heard of or used before. And once implemented, it is a game-changer! One client shared, “I wish we had met 30 years ago when I started my career. You would have saved me so much time, energy, stress, years of trial and error, and poor results!”
How it works
Once you clarify, it is time to CREATE. This typically means opening a laptop and pecking around at your slides. Stop! That workflow isn’t efficient! It leads to poor content structure, an overreliance on text on slides, and it is a waste of time.
In Phase Two, you learn a workflow proven to streamline the slide development process. We start this phase with your laptop closed and use a slide storyboard technique to cut the time you spend creating sides and reduce the number of slides by half. We conclude this phase by using the slide storyboard as a roadmap and create a visually dynamic slide deck.
What does moving through the Resultations Method℠ look like?
Step 1: Complete the Be Brilliant Blueprint mentioned in Phase One.
Step 2: Sketch your slides using the Storyboard Slide Sketch tool.
Step 3: Create slides using the storyboard as a roadmap. Clients can choose from creating the slides together (DWY) or having them created for you (DFY).
Phase Two is where most presenters start and spend most of their time. While this phase is essential, it should be the quickest. The key to a brilliant resultation is to dedicate the bulk of your preparation time, energy, and focus to phases one and three.
How it works
Let’s get real! The previous two phases are nearly pointless if you cannot CAPTURE your audience and move them to act. Holding yourself accountable to results means not ignoring practice sessions..
Phase Three of the Resultations Method℠ is focused on accountability and purposeful practice, which are vital to boosting confidence and achieving results. Honestly, it’s the biggest misstep presenters make—not practicing enough, not practicing correctly, and not tracking results.
Through years of working with over 1,000 presenters, I know the secret to meaningful practice—a three-pronged layered approach I call 1-2-3 to Mastery.
Practice 1: Master your storytelling, verbal variance, and word choice.
Practice 2: Layer in nonverbal details and master your body language and facial expressions.
Practice 3: Layer on any technical elements and master audience interactions and stage movement.
Mastering your presentation delivery skills requires you to master this practice regimen. During phase three, you’ll be guided in a fun, motivating way and gain meaningful coaching packed with actionable feedback. You’ll uncover your natural presentation style and superpowers, learn to leverage them to your advantage, and become the presenter you’ve always wanted to be!
Phase Three continues with accountability and results metric tracking as you give presentations. We review and track results, identifying where to adjust the presentation design or your delivery to maximize results – ensuring you go beyond presentations to brilliant resultations!
When the Outcome Matters, Start Here
Assess What’s at Risk
Understand the stakes, audience expectations, and where misalignment impact the outcome.
Align the Message and Structure
Clarify narrative, visuals, and flow so everything supports the decision that need to be made.
Prepare for the Moment
Refine delivery, presence, and execution so nothing critical is left to chance.
If you’re a hip-hop artist and you walk on stage to perform a country-western ballad, how authentic would you be? No two artists are the same, neither are two presenters. Let me help you optimize your presentations, discover and master your natural presenting style, and achieve maximum results from every presentation you give.
