Mastering Your Presentation Skills

We’ll “bring” the training to you live, virtually (or live, in-person when it is safe to do so) and our highly engaging trainers will make the learning experience fun, memorable, and highly applicable.

Practice, practice, practice! In a safe and friendly environment, with a committed coach who wants nothing but your best success, gain actionable tools and tips to improve your mastery of speaking and presenting to others.

The ability to present your message well is a key indicator of individual success in an organizational context, but many of us take those skills too lightly and don’t invest the time and development necessary to master our presentation skills. Effective presentations require a commitment to communication skills that are often overlooked in everyday interactions. Effective presentations require an awareness of the purpose of the presentation, the strengths and needs of both the presenter and the audience, and a clear plan for success. Beyond the presentation skill basics of the critical first impression, the image you present through your attire and handshake, and tone of voice, this session gives you multiple chances to master the critical success factors of presenting well.

In an environment designed to foster skill practice and safe and effective feedback, we’ll practice with a reusable model to help you plan well, open on the right foot, deliver all and only the content needed to effectively achieve your goal, and close with the appropriate call to action. We’ll cover the art of storytelling as well as focus on both asking questions and answering questions well during a presentation. We’ll even practice presentation risk-management and recovering when things go awry.

  • Plan effectively for your very next presentation
