Customised corporate presentation skills training programs. Delivered
on your premises, at conferences, or company retreats. Every
training session is researched and customised for your needs.
Do your technical or professional staff need better presentation
skills?
Many advisors, technical staff, engineers, professional staff, product specialists,
sales staff, and managers have trouble giving effective
presentations. Often they might deliver too much information, lack
confidence, wander from the main message, and run the
risk of losing the support of their audience.
What is the purpose and desired outcome of the presentation?
What is the essential message to get
across?
How should the presentation be structured
for optimal impact?
Is interaction required? Is it a
presentation or a workshop?
How will the presenter make a strong opening
that captures attention?
When will questions be taken? How will
distractions be avoided?
What are the presenters personal quirks? How
will they be controlled?
These are just some of the questions you need
to answer to help your team to improve their presentation skills and become more effective presenters.
Face the Fear...
and do it Anyway
As you may expect, the best learning happens in a highly interactive
training program that will involve each
participant in challenging (yet friendly) presentation
scenarios.
Immediate feedback using a Presentation Skills Checklist
helps participants to recognise positive attributes and improve personal traits that may
be detrimental to their presentation.
Your team will learn the 'inside secrets' used by
professional presenters to help them be more confident and engaging
during their business or educational presentations.
Your training program will include a combination
of proven 'learning steps' as well as specific company-related presentation
situations for your team to prepare for and deliver at the workshop. Your
team will:
Learn how to effectively communicate
their message.
Look confident, sound great, and get a
positive response.
Use proven techniques to be prepared
and reduce anxiety.
Learn how to stay in control of
timing and distractions.
Importantly, your team will learn a combination
of 'platform' skills (personal presentation technique) as well as the importance
of addressing the interests and needs of the audience. If appropriate we can
also cover basic and advanced tips on using PowerPoint to enhance the
presentation and create a professional impact.
Your Facilitator
Your facilitator is Stuart Ayling, a seasoned consultant and trainer with
over 20 years business-to-business experience across a variety of industry
sectors. In particular Stuart specialises in working with service-based
businesses and companies that sell complex products. Presentation skills are
particularly important for these companies as their services, products, and
outcomes are intangible or difficult to explain.

workshops at industry conferences, as well as presenting to clients and also
delivering his 2-day public presentation skills workshops Presenting With
Confidence.

You probably understand there's more to training than just workbooks,
slides and whiteboards. Creating an effective training
event means more than just preparing the
paperwork. It requires a combination of:
Current knowledge of your industry.
First-hand input from participants
prior to the session.
An understanding of your company
culture and priorities.
Inclusion of "best practice"
presentation strategies and professional skills.
A format to encourage discussion and
learning.
Training for professional or technical
staff must be practical, well structured, and delivered in a way that
addresses the realities of their work environment. Importantly, staff must
gain extra confidence in their ability to proactively plan for and
conduct professional presentations.
