Presentation Training
We've helped over 5000 business professionals from companies of all sizes in all industries, including Investment Bankers, VCs, Fortune 100 leaders to deliver engaging, powerful and compelling presentations.
We adopt a holistic approach addressing five key areas:
- Setting. What's the goal? How does the setting affect delivery?
- Substance. What part of the content is important now, and what's distraction?
- Structure. Is it easy to follow? Are you guiding decision-making?
- Style. How do you engage the audience in this era of short attention spans and jaded interests? Are you conveying complex / boring concepts using power-words & visual metaphors and good planning?
- Speaking. Is your delivery powerful, exuding confidence and persuading the audience? Are you speaking at a proper pace using the visuals to complement you (rather than drive you)? Are you conversing with your audience (as opposed to talking at them)?
- More succinct and focused presentations that are easy to follow and engaging
- More confidence in your public speaking skills
- More power and punch in your presentation style - for greater impact!
- One-on-One Coaching - Depending on your needs, this can range from a half-day engagement, to a multi-meeting virtual and in-person set of meetings.
- Corporate On-site Workshop - We engage the whole class (3-8 people) in addressing the five Ss, building more effective corporate templates, enabling each individual to become a more powerful presenter, and encouraging the group to tap each person's strengths to help others with future presentations. The program includes the following components:
- Pre-Program Assessment - Two weeks before the workshop, participants submit both Needs Assessments and presentations to practice on at the class. Material is also used to tailor the instructor's presentation to meet people's needs.
- Morning Program - The leader teaches the science and art of presentations, giving everyone a common language to address the 5 S's, and serves as a public speaking role model to overcome participants' fears, uncertainties and doubts.
- Afternoon Program - Each participant delivers part of her/his selected presentation, critiques it and receives feedback from members of the group, the instructor and if appropriate the video.
- Evaluation - At the end of the day, each person provides feedback on what he/she learned.
- Follow-up Coaching - Over the next two weeks, students can implement recommended changes and get feedback as part of the basic program
- Advanced Coaching - Whenever a major presentation is scheduled, participants can contact us to discuss one-on-one coaching to ensure that all the principles are being applied and position the presentation as a winner!
- Public Workshops (in NYC) - Periodically, we offer 3-10 individuals from different companies to participate in a workshop similar to the corporate one. The extra benefit is that everyone learns from people in other companies. To register for the next "Present Like a Pro" Executive Training Workshop, click here.
