Via a highly-interactive workshop format, both technical and support staff will learn how to structure and deliver effective presentations.
Three modules focusing on presentation content, verbal communication, and non-verbal communication are presented. Multiple individual videotaped presentations that incorporate the topics discussed in the modules will be recorded and analyzed with constructive feedback supplied to all attendees.A summary of each of the modules is provided below.
This program is effective in multiple formats - a single eight-hour session or two four-hour sessions. In addition, an optional four-hour supplemental program that applies the skills and knowledge learned via a small-group mock project presentation assignment can be utilized. A summary of that module is provided as well.
Presentation Content - The initial focus of this module is developing the presentation strategy based on the presentation's purpose. The identification of critical challenges and issues impacting the presentation/project and how to present effective solutions to those challenges are also discussed. The content of the presentation is then developed to accentuate the features of the firm and their benefits to the client. In addition, various presentation media are compared and contrasted with examples of all presented and discussed among participants. Samples of effective and successful presentation are utilized throughout.
Presentation Skills - Verbal - This module is a highly interactive workshop. Various presentation skills incorporating speech patterns are presented and analyzed. Examples of effective verbal communication are presented via personal examples and videotaped presentations. Finally, individual attendees will be videotaped and their verbal skills analyzed and discussed to maximize their future effectiveness.
Presentation Skills - Non-verbal - Non-verbal skills are as critical as verbal skills. This module is a highly interactive workshop. Various presentation skills incorporating gestures, eye contact, and body language are presented and analyzed. Examples of effective non-verbal communication are presented via personal examples and videotaped presentations. Finally, individual attendees will be videotaped and their non-verbal skills analyzed and discussed to maximize their future effectiveness.
"Mock Project" Presentation - Separated into multiple teams comprised of 3-4 attendees, team members apply skills developed during the three instructional modules to a sample project presentation. This mock project is one that is customized by TRINIUM for the participating firm. Each team prepares graphics, strategizes content, and presents information via a 15-minute videotaped presentation that is analyzed, evaluated, and critiqued.
