Presentation Skills

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, September 12th 12-2p ET & Thursday, September 14th 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.

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.
