Speak with Confidence
As your company’s profile rises, you and your team may be called upon to deliver presentations to larger audiences. Or, you may need help explaining your ideas in-house, in meetings around a conference room table.
In presentation skills trainings, we will show you how to speak with greater confidence and impact. We will also teach you how to use your voice as a tool and, above all, how to relax, either on camera or in person.
After extensive research on your business, we will set up a “mobile studio” onsite in your office — with a camera, a tripod, a full complement of broadcast lights, and a wireless microphone.
We will videotape your presentation, and critique both style and substance on playback. We’ll also help you craft PowerPoint slides that will captivate, not torture, the audience. We offer half-day or full-day sessions, depending on your needs.
One quick tip: Just as stories feature heroes and villains, so too should your graphics. The main characters should be readily apparent.
We will also share selections from an extensive collection of videos of speakers you would recognize who are either very articulate, or very awkward. We’ll show you how to organize your thoughts, how to use video and multimedia, and how to follow a storyline.
