Presenter Skills Development

Presentation skills are the most overlooked and underdeveloped disciplines in corporate America. People get promoted and soon find themselves needing more training for storytelling and public speaking. This program offers participants of different skill levels the opportunity to learn techniques that will quickly make them better presenters and have a positive impact on their careers. Each participant will receive a workbook to help them organize their thoughts and document new insights and techniques.

Connect with Storytelling

Distributing information is often considered the objective of presenting. However, in most cases, the true objective is to connect with the audience so that they will believe and accept the information presented.

Storytelling is an effective tool to enhance communication in any presentation. In this workshop, participants will learn how to identify, document and develop stories in our Story Grid and Story Cadence. Well-told stories are powerful for connecting with everyone at the heart-level.

Each participant will receive a worksheet to document new strategies and techniques that will help them tune their storytelling lens and cultivate their stories into powerful communication tools, ultimately connecting their audience with their message at a deeper more meaningful level.
