Winning Presentations that Sell Business!

Designed For: Anyone who wants to become more professional and effective in all presentation situations

This is not a typical speech course, which concentrates only on delivery: voice, gestures, grammar, and appearance. These principals are covered, of course, but this program also gives participants much more: proven, simple tools that can be immediately applied to make every presentation easier to design, adeptly targeted to the audience, and inherently more persuasive and effective.

Objectives:

• To provide participants with a proven method for quickly designing a presentation that is targeted to the audience and flows smoothly to a logical and persuasive conclusion.
• To give participants valuable skills they can use in any setting, including marketing to potential clients, presenting status reports, meetings with existing clients, speaking engagements, and so on.
• To help participants become more comfortable and confident in their speaking and presentation abilities, in front of audiences from one to hundreds.

Program Highlights:

• How to recognize when a presentation is necessary and immediately shift into a presentation mode
• How to establish conditions that help audiences see, hear, and retain information
• How to determine the make-up of audiences in advance, and orient presentations to their unique needs
• Demonstration and practice in how to design an effective, convincing presentation

• How to reduce "stage fright"
• How to make your delivery both interesting and compelling
