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.

More Than Just Paperwork

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.
