Presenting with Impact Workshops

There are two or three presentations we give per year that have high stakes.  High stakes not just for the organization we represent but for our personal brand as well. Fair or not, how we perform during those high-stakes presentations can result in our upward or downward mobility in the organization.

During this half-day, practice-oriented workshop participants will cover the following modules:

Message: Content that is clear, concise, compelling, and customized

• How to tell a compelling story from ineffective, inherited slides

• Stop reading from the top-line down by preparing bottom line up

• A four-step process to ensure you’re perceived an expert, not a know-it-all

Delivery: How to increase perceived confidence, competence, and expertise

• Eight tips to help you OVERCOME nervousness

• The most common, and destructive, myth of delivery

• The eye contact secret for enhancing interpersonal engagement

• Three steps to stop reading slides and to start reading your audience

• Immediate executive presence through three body language imperatives

 Our Process

• We get learners involved—we avoid purely didactic training

• We apply all strategies and skills to real-world presentations that participants bring with them

• Ideally, we apply the skills to upcoming presentations to create a positive future feedback loop to reinforce the value of the training

• We keep the groups small so that each participant can receive personalized coaching

• Each participant receives multiple opportunities to apply the skills

• We can even capture the practice on each participants digital device if they wish
