What They Don’t Teach You In Presentation Skills Workshops
We’ve all sat through various presentation skills programs that teach basic information to those who want to become good trainers and speakers. The problem is, most audiences have seen plenty of good trainers and speakers. Quite frankly, there’s way too much riding on these presentations, and good is often not good enough. The presentations you deliver need to inform, inspire, motivate, entertain, and be . . . unforgettable.

We’ve all sat through various presentation skills programs that teach basic information to those who want to become good trainers and speakers. The problem is, most audiences have seen plenty of good trainers and speakers. Quite frankly, there’s way too much riding on these presentations, and good is often not good enough. The presentations you deliver need to inform, inspire, motivate, entertain, and be… unforgettable.
In this session, you will learn:
- How to nail the first three to five minutes of your presentation using a repeatable, predictable process that can be used to professionally set up any presentation.
- How to not just engage, but involve the audience with multiple probing techniques and tricks of the trade used by professional speakers.
- How to “stick your landing” and finish a presentation like a professional.
- The six most common mistakes made by speakers, how to avoid them, and how to move an audience to action.
- How to maximize book sales at speaking engagements.
- How to create professional materials to support your deliveries.
To allow for maximum impact, a participant guide will be included documenting the presentation along with job aids and worksheets that can be used once the presentation has been completed.
