We believe awareness, acceptance and action are the primary ingredients necessary for adults to learn and change.

More specifically, when exposed to presentation skill training, participants need an awareness of effective and ineffective behaviors followed by personal acceptance of those behaviors and a willingness to take action and recognize the results of improved performance. We believe people learn best through self discovery

Classroom Goals

Awareness
To create awareness around the components of a persuasive presentation and the impact of appropriate delivery skills

Balance
To become competent in both content development and delivery techniques.

Improve Effectiveness
To help individuals become aware of both strengths and weaknesses while providing new techniques that apply to their real world applications.

Tools for Success
To provide a presenter with a set of tools that can be used outside of the classroom to improve presentation effectiveness.

Classroom Methodology

Highly participative
Videotaping opportunities with built-in delivery skill practices and stand and deliver opportunities are designed into the workshop. Participants leave with a videocassette to review for continued development.

Direct application
Pre-work identifying an upcoming presentation is sent out prior to the workshop. With that audience in mind, participants directly apply the concepts and techniques learned in the workshop to that presentation.

Coaching
Each participant will receive personal coaching from the facilitator, and their peers.
