ANCIENT FOLKLORE:
In the
ancient folklore of Presentation instruction, it was widely held that
visualising your audience naked helped to reduce nervousness.
The concept
lingers to this day. Warning!
If you're a
presenter, a naked audience is not going to improve your
concentration!
Eye contact
is going to be a real problem for
you.
And you're
going to be very self conscious about
the $2,000 designer suit you're wearing!
New Rule:
Never speak
to a naked audience.
It can be
distracting.
Feel the Fear!(and do it anyway!)
Next to
Spiders and Heights, the fear of getting up on our hind legs and addressing a
group of people, of any size, seems to be one of the greatest fears facing man
(and woman).
And yet,
making Presentations is one of the most powerful and important communication
tools available in organisations today.
From the
weekly Sales Meeting, the one-on-one Sales Presentation to a Customer or
Prospect, right through to the Presentation of a Paper at an International
Conference (hopefully in somewhere very exotic), the acquisition of
Presentation Skills is one of the most useful sets of skills that anyone in
organisational life can acquire.
And it's really
not that tough (although you may be thinking otherwise right now).
The
Marketing Bureau’s Presentation Skills Programmes are amongst the most highly
regarded in the country and many of our Clients continue to tell us that it
offers training & skills development that is some of the best they have ever undertaken (on any topic!).
We develop a
highly customised Presentation Skills Programmes to meet the needs of your Organisation and turn every
business Presentation into a truly effective
one!
Programme Objective
To fully
equip participants with the necessary skills, techniques, tools and confidence
to allow them to prepare and deliver effective Presentations that sell.
(Because every Presentation needs to sell something - a concept, a proposal,
a product, a person etc.)
Programme Philosophy
The
Marketing Bureau's Presentation Skills Programme is designed around one,
inescapable, reality.
That reality
is that CONFIDENCE is the secret weapon in any effective Presenter's armoury.
Without it, the
Presentation will fail. Every time.
With it, the rest is pretty
straightforward. It all seems, somehow, to fall into place.
So this
Programme has, as its key thread, the building of CONFIDENCE - building it through participation - building it
through fun - building it through the careful sharing of the essential tool kit
needed by all Presenters.
If you have
the right tools and you're gonna have some fun, the job's just not a problem
anymore!
