Philosophy
|
 |
It is my experience that people
rarely learn necessary skills in single-day or large
group seminars. Learning is interactive and dynamic,
requiring time and investment on the part of both
the trainer and the attendee.
I am passionately committed to delivering
exceptional training experiences to my clients. My
goal is to leave your workshop participants with
practical, applicable communication and thinking
skills. In my training sessions attendees get
hands-on practice with the specific skills taught in
the workshop, immediate feedback and videotaped
sessions reviewed one-on-one between the individual
participants and me. |

Presentations: |

Powerful Presentations |
Every company needs strong,
skillful presenters, whether in sales, marketing,
manufacturing, or management. Yet too often
presenters wrestle with just-adequate skills,
often-debilitating presentation anxiety and awkward or
dense visual aids. In this workshop you will:

| Advanced Powerful Presentations |
Business presentations often
involve issues such as challenging audience interaction,
speaking to large numbers of people and creating a
sense of excitement and interest in a product or
service. A strong presenter in a small group or
standard presentation can find these scenarios
difficult to manage. In this workshop you will:
|
 |
Learn to manage Q&A
sessions (including difficult or even
hostile audiences) |
 |
Master large
audience presentations |
 |
Boost your energy
and enthusiasm for what you’re presenting
about |
 |
Become a
presentation leader for your company/group |

| New Business Team Presentations |
Sometimes a company needs a
group of people to present their product or service.
This is obviously more complex than having a single
presenter do the job. You want your
pitch/presentation team to be strongly prepared,
well-coordinated and highly energized to deliver the
most effective presentation possible. With this
workshop you will:
|
 |
Develop strong
presentation team presence and delivery |
 |
Learn techniques for
effective group coordination for
presentations |
 |
Use each presenter’s
strengths to the fullest possible extent |
