Your presenters need this training if their presentations,
and their supporting slides, are too complex, too complicated,
incomprehensible, disjointed or unstructured
This workshop is designed to improve the content
and supporting slides for these types of presenters:
- Salespeople
- Product Marketers
- Conference Speakers
- Management & Executives
And we do it in only 4 hours.
This workshop has a unique structure that lends itself to quick
learning and immediate implementation, The attendees will bring
their own presentation and/or slides to work on during the workshop.
And four hours later, theyÕll leave with clearer, more compelling
content. Even the most technical or complex presentations will
be vastly improved when the content is logical and easy-to-follow
and the accompanying slides are supportive, not distracting
or confusing.
Our Presentation Development Workshop is based on a
peer-coaching model. This means the groups are small; only five
to 10 people per trainer, and everybody's working all of the
time. No one is just waiting for his or her turn. When they're
not presenting their content to the rest of the group, they're
helping to coach their .
Our Trainers
Our trainers are world-class presenters in their own right.
They win speaking awards, theyÕve worked in radio and television
and they've provided their services around the world to audiences
from 10 to 10,000. They're also great people; easy to work with,
fun to work with, and they know how to help your people develop
better presentations.
Workshop Format
This four-hour workshop begins with our trainer presenting
a brief (30 minute) overview of the basics of sound presentation
structure and visual aid design. Then the participants break
into small groups of four people, each with their own trainer.
Everyone presents their slides to the rest of their group. Groups
work independently, in separate parts of a large meeting room
or in smaller breakout Every participant makes their presentation
to the other people in their group. The "audience" members each
have specific critiquing assignments - one verbal, one non-verbal.
For example: Jim is first to make his presentation. Mary counts
how many "non-words" (ums, ahs, etc.) Jim uses and how well
he makes eye contact. Mike reports on his posture and his voice.
Other audience members have complementary assignments. Each
verbal/non-verbal assignment set is provided on a handout for
the audience members to use as a coaching and teaching aid.
