OPPORTUNITY FOR MAJOR PRESENTATIONS UPGRADE:
Applying the same approaches proven highly effective with our in-house seminars, this format provides the opportunity for an organization to send just one or two people in lieu of investing in a more expensive in-house training program. Or for an individual who wants to make a significant improvement in presentations capability and assurance, thus advancing job effectiveness and career potential.
This is an intensive two-day program applying principles from How To Prepare, Stage & Deliver Winning Presentations. Participants have included executives, marketing and sales managers, engineers, entrepreneurs, proposal/presentations specialists, training & development managers -- or anyone for whom presentations are important requirements for their jobs.
This seminar is solidly focused toward real-world application, and addressed all factors linked to winning presentations -- strategy, organization, support (especially graphics), staging (including computer-based methods), and delivery. Participants gain skill and knowledge in preparation and content, along with performance. We work with a small group (typically 6-8 people), which ensures a high degree of personal growth and group interaction. All participants prepare and deliver actual presentations, and receive leader and group feedback with video review.
Programs are scheduled periodically and primarily conducted in San Diego. To inquire about upcoming future programs or alert us to your interest, let us know via e-mail and we'll contact you.
