Advance presentation techniques

Advanced Presentation Techniques has activities that enable your people to assess how good they are currently, and what needs to be worked on, voice projection, handling awkward moments, understanding the audience, especially cultural diversity, adding value through visual aids and much more! Weve saved you hours of preparation time and research effort. All the support materials you need are included.

List of Activities:

  1. How good are you now? (1)

Apart from providing an opportunity for participants to get to know one another, this activity immediately involves them in giving two presentations. By doing so, you are able to assess current performance levels and begin to build an action plan based on their identified needs. This action plan forms the work for the next activity.

  1. How good are you now? (2)

Building on the first activity with a further presentation from participants, this session is a reminder of the basic principles for delivering a memorable presentation. It finishes with a tailored action plan that you can use with each person to choose appropriate further activities and development.

  1. Humour what works and what doesnt?

Lightening the atmosphere with lots of laughter, this activity shows participants how humour, when used appropriately, can enhance their presentations. Laughter is good for us. What makes you laugh?

  1. Managing fear

As Susan Jeffers says, Feel the fear and do it anyway. This activity explains where fear originates and how and why it can have such an impact. Several simple, tried and trusted techniques are suggested for overcoming its worst effects.

  1. Breathe!

This activity helps participants literally to breathe life into their presentations. The breath gives the voice its power and propulsion; it is the power source for the voice and without it there is no presentation.

  1. Voice projection

The first of two activities examining the voice, this activity provides a full explanation and exploration of the voice projection needed to add colour and depth to any presentation. It includes individual work on articulation, expression, tone and pitch.

  1. Voiceworks

Voiceworks takes participants on a journey through their own vocal production factory to explain how the voice works and how to look after this vital presenters tool.

  1. Posture

This activity gives participants practical methods to enable them to stand tall, look their audience in the eye and create a positive first, and last, impression every time.

  1. Understanding your audience

Being in touch with their audience is how successful presenters stand out from the crowd. If the audience is not with you, then the presentation fails. Through a visualisation strategy, participants are let into the secrets of understanding their audiences, before they get it wrong.

  1. Overcoming awkward moments

We are judged by how we handle the challenges that life offers us, especially those met when presenting in public. Acknowledging that awkward moments happen, this activity shows participants how to overcome these with a deft touch that will leave their audiences admiring and inspired.

  1. Presenting to multicultural audiences

We live and work in a multicultural society. Business operates locally and globally, nationally and internationally. This activity acknowledges the positive attributes of cultural diversity. It explores the challenges of such diversity to presenters through exercises designed to get them thinking about every aspect of their communication.

  1. Researching your content fact or fiction?

This is the information age. Sorting out what is worthwhile, what is important and what is dubious is difficult but not impossible. The audience will expect you to get it right. This activity, which includes individual presentation practice, develops participants Internet and other research skills to help them sift through the wealth of information and make informed decisions about the material they use when presenting.

  1. Adding value: creating materials for your audience

Youve seen the presentation and left clutching an armful of papers, or yet another collection of printed PowerPoint® slides. What happens to them back at the office? More often than not they end up languishing in a filing tray or in the waste-bin. Save trees! This practical and engaging activity helps participants to produce audience materials that add value and remain a lasting source of information long after the presentation is over.

  1. Never dry up

This activity shows participants techniques and provides practice for remaining in control of all their materials during a presentation. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and perhaps losing track, they will be able to deliver with confidence, control, composure and elegance.

  1. Terrific technology

By delivering their own electronic slide show (such as PowerPoint®), the participants assess the value, or otherwise, of electronic techniques. Together with the next activity, this session investigates this over-hyped medium, from slide design to managing the on-stage equipment.
