The Human Connection: Bring Your Presentations to Life
Thursday, February 19, 2009
For your business to grow, something has to happen between you and your clients on a human level. For your people to do their best work, they must feel respected and empowered on a personal level. Clients and employees alike must feel that they can trust and communicate with you, that you will listen and respond to their needs.
You and your staff can make this connection each time you give a presentation, lead a project, network or even pick up the phone. However, it only comes with understanding and practice.
Through teaching, discussion, participation in theater exercises and individual coaching opportunities, you will learn to:
- Connect with your audience
- Identify and drop nervous habits
- Prepare and practice your material
- Make technical material come to life
- Use graphics and props wisely
The Human Connection session is a hands-on workshop directed towards principals and key sales personnel. You will get an interactive, one-of-a-kind experience, not just training.
