BECOME A PERSUASIVE PRESENTER

COURSE OVERVIEW

Delivering a presentation is like building a house. Let me explain why.

Every great house starts with a strong foundation. In the same way, a powerful presentation begins with a solid idea. Your ideas are like the bricks that make up the walls of a house. They provide the structure and support for everything else that comes after.

Next, we need to add the mortar. Just like the mortar holds the bricks together and gives the walls stability, structure gives your presentation coherence and flow. This could be as simple as having a clear introduction, body, and conclusion, or using a specific format like the “Problem-Solution” method.

Finally, it’s time to add the finishing touches. This is where your rhetoric comes in. Rhetoric is like the plaster that covers the walls and gives your presentation a polished and professional look. Just as the right type of plaster can make a house feel warm and inviting, the right rhetoric can make your presentation engaging and memorable.

So, to build a great presentation, think of your ideas as the bricks, structure as the mortar, and rhetoric as the plaster. With these three key elements in place, you’ll have all the tools you need to construct a powerful and persuasive presentation that will leave a lasting impression on your audience.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

The mind-map below presents some of the topics we cover during our Persuasive Presentations training module.

Altogether, there are almost twenty different areas of public speaking that we can cover on our sessions. The exact choice of topics depends on the assessment of your specific needs.

METHODOLOGY

Simply put, our approach is ‘learning by doing.’ Once we identify the specific areas of public speaking your team needs to focus on, we provide access to interactive materials on our platform.

This training is hands-on. Participants engage in debates and discussions, where they’re encouraged to share their experiences and offer each other constructive feedback. We also analyze segments of outstanding presentations from TED.com and other sources, exploring ways to enhance our own performances.

Overall, our training sessions are lively, dynamic, and thoroughly engaging. This is consistently reflected in the positive feedback we receive in post-training surveys.

FORMAT

The format of our ‘Persuasive Presentations’ training is tailored in collaboration with your HR department. We start by analyzing the specific areas of public speaking your team needs to enhance. This assessment helps us determine the appropriate length and structure of the training.

A popular choice among our clients is the three-day training format. This involves two consecutive days of sessions, followed by a one-day break, and then reconvening for the final session. This break is strategically planned to give participants time to prepare more effectively for the concluding part of the training.

For teams that frequently present in English, a more extensive format is often preferred. This can be a comprehensive training spanning 10 to 20 hours, distributed over several weeks, allowing for deeper learning and practice.

In essence, the training format is flexible and is designed to meet the unique requirements of your team. Whether it’s a compact three-day session or an extended series spread over weeks, we adapt to ensure your team gets the most out of our program.
