Testimonials

"I particularly liked the part on four personality types, it really made me think how to focus on my audience and how to address all the types of personalities when presenting a speech/report etc."

"The content was informative and useful, especially the part about the different personality types and how to tailor your presentation's story based on what you want your audience to get out of it. "

"It was useful to do a presentation at the beginning then redo it again using all the information we had learnt throughout the day, everyone improved so much second time around"

"Practical aspect was most useful. I learnt that it's all about the preparation and reading aloud before an event to properly gauge timing, pauses and emphasis."

"I will approach with much more confidence, and the ability to prep in the right way. I will take my time to plan and practice as well as take my time when presenting and contributing to discussions."

"It was very useful and will certainly be informing my approach to speaking engagements in the future."

Introduction

Presentations are an opportunity for Association professionals to create change. Whether it’s speaking to your board, your team, your members or those outside of the Association, being able to present with impact is key to achieving your goals, both professional and personally. When you present, it’s an opportunity to prepare and deliver a fresh idea, insight or thinking. And for your audience to receive that idea, roll it around and develop their thinking and be persuaded towards taking action in a way that is useful to them and you.

Put simply, you want to create a reaction and action in your audience.

Do your presentations achieve this? Could you become a better presenter? Do you want to? That’s what this workshop is about.

What you will leave with

An interactive and practical session, this one-day workshop is divided into two halves, Preparation in the morning and then Delivery in the afternoon. Overall, you’ll leave with the following:
