Overview :

A presentation can be a powerful tool if you need to persuade prospects, clients or investors to consider your project positively.  With a persuasive presentation, you are clearly in charge.  You stand while they sit.  You control the sequence and flow of information.  However, if you are uptight, nervous or drench your slides with text/words, you will seriously undermine your message.

Description:

Limited to only 8 participants —involves multiple exercises to help you stand before the group and practice new skills. The participant will lean:
 
Delivery skills—How to master physical delivery techniques, like those in tennis or golf.  How to stand and speak persuasively, so that you project an image of sincerity, conviction and expertise. 

Staging techniques—How to keep the focus on you. How to get and stay away from the lectern and work with your visuals to better connect with viewers. (However, you are the “show,” not the slides.)

Q&A tips—How to encourage questions, neutralize negative ones and involve the whole group.

Effective uses of visuals—How to create PowerPoint slides that reinforce your message, entertain and insure retention. (Text/word slides fail on all three counts!)

Lunch is included in this program.
