Speaker Training and Presentation Skills

Presentation skills are vital in communication and communication is vital to success, without communication…nothing happens.  The best product in the world will remain unsold  without effective communication. I specialise in showing you just how effective communication can be. 

I work in every field of corporate communication, preparing individuals for conference presentations in front of thousands, for internal presentations in front of just a few and for internal training, in fact I can prepare you for anywhere corporate communication and effective presentations are needed.

I work with you on presentation skills, on scripts and on all types of graphic presentations including PowerPoint presentations.  I work with you to ensure that your internal presentation or your conference presentation is the most effective that it can be. Whether you are a first time presenter or more experienced at conference presentations you will learn slicker and more effective presentation skills.

Graphics content can make or break a presentation - True or False? 

Both – Good graphics content can make a presentation and poor graphics content can certainly break one.

I strongly believe that a graphic should support the speaker rather than prompt or overwhelm them.  I understand the thinking behind the common term – speaker support graphic –  and ensure that in your presentation a graphic is just that – a support. I specialise in preparing speakers to deliver a truly professional presentation, I train speakers on presentation skills, on script creation and on graphics preparation.

Fact – many people in senior management have little time to prepare for a presentation, I can provide a full graphic presentation service for any type of spoken communication.  Of course I use PowerPoint but also other more flexible systems where appropriate.

Graphics Presentation Service /PowerPoint Template Production

Fact 1      A conference has a more cohesive and professional feel if every speaker uses the same graphic template. 

Fact 2      Many speakers know what they want to include but lack the time or skill to produce a professional template.

Graphics Production

I work with some of the most talented graphic designers in the business ask me and I will make sure you get a set of graphics to be proud of.

Many new presenters do not have the skill or the time to create their own content – even if supplied with a graphic template. I offer bespoke one-on-one graphic training sessions to show speakers how to create simple graphics and use them to their best advantage in a presentation.

Ask yourself these questions:

1. Are you proud to stand up with your Corporate PowerPoint Presentation?

• Do you know how to present it effectively?
• Does it really communicate the key benefits of your business?
• Does it show your presentation skills to the best advantage?
• Is it easy to work with?

Or might there be a more effective way to communicate?  Might there be a way to really win over your audience, really get your message across?

2. Are you confident to stand up at your Conference in front of your peers?

• Do you know how to get their attention?                                                          
• Do you know how to keep their interest?
• Can you get your message across?       

Or could you benefit from some speaker training, some support with presentation skills and scripts?

PowerPoint is used in over 30 million presentations a day – at conferences, internal meetings and internal trainings – it is a powerful tool yet at least 50% of the time it is used by people who have not looked at their presentation properly before the event or who have pulled it together from other PowerPoint presentations without much thought to continuity or effective communication.

I believe that, in effective presentations, PowerPoint, or other speaker graphics, are just a tool – they are part of your non-verbal communication, they should not take over from your effective presentation skills.

STAGE FRIGHT

I understand that public speaking of any kind can be stressful and over many years I have developed a bespoke one on one training course to help executives handle stage fright.  Stage fright manifests itself in a myraid of different ways,  the stress triggers and stress reactions are different for every individual.  If you have any concerns about stage fright then email me your contact details and I will be happy to talk to you on an individual basis.

I teach professional presentation skills giving you the knowledge to really make your audience sit up and listen.
