Become a Stronger Persuader
It doesn’t matter how great an idea is if it’s not presented in a way that’s both clear and compelling. Yet all too often we don’t pay enough attention to how we present, even though it’s one of the most crucial skills in business. In this highly interactive hands-on course, we’ll review and apply strategies to optimize all components of successful presentation development and delivery.
For even more impact, we recommend including the 30-minute individual coaching session to practice applying the learning and to receive personalized feedback and support from the facilitator.
This is a two-part course:
Tuesday, May 16th 12-2p ET & Thursday, May 18th 12-2p ET

CONNECTION // THE WHO & WHY
Every presentation is about connection - between you and the audience - the “who.” Using the DiSC model as a foundation, we’ll explore the preferences different styles have in terms of how they take in information and make decisions - and more importantly how we approach the “why” of our presentations accordingly.

CONTENT // THE WHAT
The best presentations aren’t just a blob of slides with words, pictures and data on them - they’re narratives that have shape and contrast that connect emotionally.

We help people get strong at work, so they can be strong in life. We offer training, coaching and facilitation to help everyone from individual contributors to executive leaders. Our bespoke programs build both horizontal skills like managing, presenting and persuading; and vertical skills such as business leadership, strategy and project management.
Each one of our coaches/trainers comes with decades of management, leadership and executive experience. We've faced the same challenges you have — so we don't just talk the talk, we've walked the walk. When it comes to learning and development, we like to keep it real - favoring the practical over the theoretical. And, we know that if it's not fun it's forgettable. So, we bring a heaping dose of energy and humor to everything we do.
Some companies we've partnered with include Droga5, McCann, Ogilvy, Carmichael Lynch, Colle McVoy, Horizon Media, Dow Jones, Harper Collins, The Wall Street Journal, and many more.
