Techniques for Powerful Presentation®
Reaching your desired future as a professional requires an ability to be an effective communicator and a skilled presenter.
A powerful public presence is an important dimension of your career and role as a leader. Only when you represent yourself with authority and conviction will people follow your lead. No one can afford to ignore the principles of developing and improving their public presence. The first impression you make on others is critical.
The Techniques for Powerful Presenations® workshop is designed to help you reach these goals. Through practice, video taping and positive coaching you will improve in these areas. After this workshop, you will be able to give the best speech of your life.
Great Meetings
Is Not An Oxymoron®
Every one is familiar with poorly managed meetings as well as long, boring meetings. The constant complaint, “What a lousy meeting!” is often legitimate. Our minds and organizations swell with information overload. There has to be a better way to manage information, meetings and people’s time.
Meeting participation is a fact of business. You can have a positive influence on the content and outcomes of any meeting you attend.
Say It Right, Say It Simple®
The way you talk sets you apart. To just open your mouth and speak is not communicating. There are some fundamental techniques needed in order for your talking to set you apart as a person worth listening to. What you say as well as how you say it are the two fundamental foundations for mastering communication.
Balancing Leadership Skills & Emotional Development®
The best leaders demonstrate a balance between their skills and their emotional intelligence. The first side of the equation are those of leadership skills, the other side is a high level of emotional maturity. This course will help you understand these concepts and working them into your leadership role. Leadership is all about producing results!
Three Primal Points of Success®
Life is like a NASCAR Race — it is fast-paced, it goes around and around, you have to adjust quickly to unplanned events, and there are occasional pit stops for refueling, checkups and restating the plan of attack. This is a one-day pit stop.
How to Listen Effectively®
Somewhere along the way we have not learned to listen. Yet, over 40% of what we learn and know is through listening. We are not taught how to listen in school; it is assumed that we will learn listening skills simply by being in school. We have speaking classes, but not listening classes. What does this say about our priorities?
Time Management
Everyone wants more time in his or her day. But, that is impossible! We never have enough time! That’s the problem, so what’s the solution? The solution lies in how to manage one’s daily allotment of time. To learn this fine art of managing time is the primary focus of this seminar.
Three steps are necessary to solve this ever-present dilemma:
- Set aside time to attend this workshop.
- Assess your present behaviors.
- Develop an action plan to more successfully manage your time.
The workshop uses a time management tool designed by Carlson Learning Company. This instrument helps you assess your strengths and weaknesses regarding how you manage your time. Following this exercise, you will be guided through 12 key areas of how to improve your time management and you will prepare your own personal action plans for improvement:
- Attitude: Committing to personal growth
- Goals: Focusing on objectives rather than activities
- Priorities: Putting first things first by defining relative importance
- Analyzing: Personal time patterns and opportunities for improvement
- Planning: Six questions to ask when allocating time and work
