Presentations With a Punch

Oftentimes, individuals who hold various positions with an organization are relied upon to make professional presentations to other managers, to groups inside the organization or to the public. During that presentation, their skill in presenting can leave a lasting impression on the audience. During the presentation, the speaker literally becomes the organization they represent. These spokespeople are typically not professionally trained speakers, and they don’t intend for public speaking to become their primary job. In fact, these individuals may not even have the advanced communication skills to effectively stand in front of a group.

This highly interactive workshop will help participants learn how to prepare for a presentation, create speaking objectives, learn how to deal with difficult people and situations, learn how to use presentation tools effectively, and practice making a presentation before a live audience (the other participants) and the course facilitator. Feedback sheets are used to provide ideas for improvement .and shared with each presenter in an effort to help them gain the confidence they need to improve their skill levels.

• Creating the Objectives
• Identifying Learning Points
• Creating a Presentation Plan.

• Using Presentation Tools Effectively.
• The Fine are of Practice, Practice, Practice.
• Improvement Through Observer Feedback
