Presentation Skills Training

We incorporate the techniques for addressing audiences of any size, as well as for developing the Public Speaking Skills necessary for audience management. An additional focus is on establishing the ability to prepare for Multi-Cultural Presentations and global audiences. Multi-cultural presentations are a challenge for the most skilled presenters.

Skills for overcoming the fear of public speaking, audience analysis, content development and preparation, creating effective openings & closings, presentation timing & transitions, and the question & answer sessions are addressed in all presentation skill training programs.

There is the option for presentations to be videotaped to follow each presenter’s progress, and for later review. All individual presentations are followed by evaluations completed by fellow course participants, as well as by the course trainer. This facilitates the learning of each participant attending the training. Evaluations cover the presenter’s use of visualization technology, delivery and style, voice dynamics and tonality, body language, mannerisms and gestures, use of examples and metaphors, humor, the ability to establish audience rapport and positive audience participation. At the conclusion of the training or coaching for presentation skills, each participant receives their presentation evaluations and a CD of their presentations if the session was videotaped.
