EXECUTIVE EDUCATION SEMINAR | Perfecting the Presentation: How to Develop and Deliver Messages that Inspire Action
Albert Einstein once famously said, “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” Whether you are having an informal conversation with your peers, speaking with a senior leader or direct report in a 1-1 setting, or delivering a formal presentation to a client, you are constantly being evaluated on how well you communicate. Numerous studies show that those who are able to clearly and succinctly articulate points of view enjoy sustained professional success. Furthermore, those who develop excellent communication and presentation skills are more effective at leading others toward meaningful action.
In this interactive and experiential two half-day session, participants will learn how to deliver formal and informal presentations which inspire and influence. Specifically, those in attendance will learn best practices for holding the attention of others while maintaining an appropriate confidence level and presence. Participants will also discover how to open and close presentations in a manner that leads to action, handle objections in real time, and make meaningful connections with those listening to the message.
Key Topics:
-
Developing high interest presentations which “stick” with participants
-
Incorporating attention grabbing techniques throughout the presentation that stimulate the minds of those in attendance while maintaining focus on key points
-
Establishing “executive presence” through proper body language, tone, and word choice – especially in handling objections
-
Building confidence and remaining calm under pressure
-
Gaining immediate interest from your audience through powerful openings
-
Closing with actionable next steps
-
PowerPoint do’s and don’ts
