Your success will be greater by taking an active role in the make up of the program to ensure superior results. You will develop and realize your own potential as a powerful presenter in an atmosphere that is both nurturing and challenging. You will hone your presentation techniques and gain confidence to identify development areas, practice constructive changes and emerge as a more powerful presenter.
The Professional Presentation Skills Audit as well as the Professional Selling Skills Audit allows clarification from all the information you could learn about presentations to the specific things you need to doto improve your presentation results. My approach asks that each professional be asked to invest 90 seconds to fill out each audit and send it to me directly for tabulation. Success is self determined and the key is clarity and focus. When each participant completes the audit process I ask that they identify three areas on each audit that will be the most helpful for them. Success in upcoming sessions will be greater if you can identify the fewest number of areas that will demonstrate the highest gain.
Besides confidential pre coaching phone conversations and a base line video feedback session the feedback audits will give me insights into your skill level as well as clear discovery in your top line strengths. The combination of audit results, confidential conversations and reviewing videotapes, typically allows me to focus a program based on your toughest presentation issues vs. my interests.
