Presentation Skills

The effectiveness and success of your organization can be profoundly affected by the skill with which you and your staff members present information to others. The ability to make clear, effective presentations is an invaluable skill, and surveys show that senior executives rank the ability to communicate ideas effectively as the most important factor in achieving success.

You can help guarantee the effectiveness of your staff’s communication with AlexanderHancock Associates’ Presentation Skills training program.

This exciting and practical two-day workshop helps even the most inexperienced presenter develop confidence, skill and credibility. Dramatic improvements occur in a short time and stay with the participant for life. More experienced presenters learn persuasive strategies, fine-tune their style, and develop more professional techniques. Technical presenters learn how to present their ideas moe clearly to non-technically-attuned listeners. Managers enhance their ability to lead others.

"If you want to transfer information, put it in writing. But to motivate, influence or persuade, you’ve got to say it—and with impact…Effective persuasive communication is the key to getting what you want out of your life, your career, and your relationships."

Participants in the Presentation Skills workshop will be perceived as more credible, more professional, and more persuasive. As a result, your organization will gain these benefits:

• Senior management will receive more useful information for decision-making

• Time will be used more efficiently in meetings

• Leadership capabilities will be maximized

• In public settings, the organization’s image will be enhanced

• overcome the fear of speaking in public

• increase their credibility with a variety of audiences and in diverse situations

• plan presentations based on their audiences’ needs

• use proven techniques for getting and holding attention

• organize information logically and clearly

• use a more interesting and dynamic delivery style

• use high-impact visual aids smoothly and professionally

• present reports, proposals and plans persuasively

• handle questions and challenges confidently

Among the subject areas covered are:

• Building confidence: during the presentation itself, and in handling questions and challenges

• How to analyze and connect with the audience

• How to organize the presentation

• Structuring and adding excitement to your presentation

• Using your voice, body language, and visual aids effectively

This training emphasizes learning by doing in an intensive, practical, but fun way. It includes videotaped practices with feedback from fellow participants and facilitator(s). Prior to the workshop, each participant will prepare a presentation with appropriate visual aids to be used in these skill sessions.
