Giving effective presentations is a lost art. In too many cases, the business presentation has degenerated into someone simply reading off Powerpoint slides. The presenter drones on with Talk, Talk, Talk while the clock goes Toc, Toc, Toc. The result is an excruciatingly boring experience for the audience. They say - The presenter could have simply e-mailed me the slides. This was a waste of time! They then run off to the next meeting where the same thing happens. It should not be this way. It does not have to be this way.
The ability to make clear, convincing presentations is critical to professionals who want to advance their careers. More and more information is given and decisions made in committees, project teams, and work groups. Top management forms a lasting impression of people based on their presentations. Those who are willing to put in the effort to skillfully plan a presentation and express their thoughts in an impactful manner enjoy a distinct advantage. Those people will stand out from the crowd.
This program gets participants involved as they learn to tailor their presentation to the audience and gives advice on word selection, answering questions, and controlling nervous mannerisms. A practical, step-by-step process is explained, including how to generate the spark that captures audience attention, how to build momentum during the presentation, and how to close for maximum impact. Topics covered include:
- Communicating - a key skill for your future!
- Presentation skills tips & techniques
- Converting anxiety into positive energy
- Logically organizing the presentation
- The two most important sentences in any presentation
- How to use Powerpoint slides
- Handling the question and answer session
