The cause of Poor presentation skills
No one sets out to be a boring presenter…it just kind of happens. The most common causes are:
Not taught: Clever people (SME’s, leaders etc) are just expected to know how to present because of their knowledge or position.
No process: Most people don’t know how to start preparing (hint - it’s not the opening!). Without a process they waste time.
Boring is accepted: Being a bad presenter is often accepted as the way things are. It shouldn’t be. Poor sales people and leaders are just not accepted.
No feedback: Most audiences or leaders don’t know how to make boring better so can’t offer useful advice.
Aiming for Perfection: People think they have to be perfect when presenting. You don’t. You just have to be genuinely you. People relate to you better that way.
Nervousness: It’s common to feel an energy rush when you present. Some people call it nervousness, others don’t worry about it. It’s how you react to it that determines how you present.
THE SOLUTION
My presentation skills training program fixes these problems. Ideal for sales teams, leaders and industry influencers who need to impact the market. This program will help position your team as leaders who can engage their audiences and influence their way of thinking.
The Presentation Skills Model
Engaging presentations focus on three main areas - the Speaker, Message and Audience.
The Speaker. This module focuses on developing the right mindset to lead the room. I’ll show you how to manage any nerves so they will never be a problem again. I’ll show you how to position yourself as a leader so others want to follow and how to manage your energy so you can enjoy the opportunity to present.
The Message. This module will give you a step-by-step process to structure your thoughts so you can create your presentation in record time - and remember it. I’ll give you a structure that you can use in any situation (sales, reporting, training, induction etc) so there is less to think about. I’ll I’ll show you how to create Idea Modules so you can ‘bolt’ them on or off depending on time or audience. We’ll also cover stories and how to bring dry data to life. And I’ll show you can step away from slides for 90% of your presentations.
The Audience. This module contains my formula to become super relevant to any audience. It will give you the steps to tailor any message to any audience without the need for a full re-write. When you apply this process nerves vanish because you are relevant and prepared for who is in the room. This helps audiences become fully engaged and remain focused.
When you focus on the three elements of Speaker, Message and Audience, you connect with your audience in a manner that is congruent with who you are, and with a currency the audience cares about. This makes presenting easy to prepare, easy to deliver, and easy for the audience to receive.
