Create High-Impact Messages

The first step in making presentations powerful, whether spoken or written, is getting the message right. This can be challenging when decisions are critical, deadlines are tight, and audiences are resistant. This intensive one-day to two-day workshop gives you the tools needed to craft and fine-tune messages so they can persuade and move your target audience to action.

Design Powerful Presentation Slides

Strong PowerPoint or Keynote slides do add power to a message, making it easier for you to present and your audience to understand. Poor ones can obscure meaning, distract, and confuse audiences. This half-day workshop focuses on this valuable but often misused technology. Learn the key elements for designing strong presentation slides that highlight important issues, create impact, and drive action.

Design Powerful Prezis

Prezi is a relatively new presentation software and an exciting alternative to PowerPoint. It’s ideal for general, spoken, projected presentations where you want to inspire, energize, and educate. This half-day workshop will teach you everything you need to know to build a dynamic Prezi that captivates.

Polish Speaking Style

You want your presence as a speaker to be a positive factor in achieving success with your message, and not a limitation. This one-day workshop focuses on making you a confident, engaging, and polished speaker. Learn to leverage the natural strengths in your delivery style and strengthen your weaker points, and create a presence that instills trust, engages your audience, and gets your message across.

Sharpen Writing

When you’re writing instead of speaking, it’s equally important to get your message across quickly and easily, with clarity, precision and impact. This one-day workshop will sharpen your business writing and grammar skills, helping you write powerful proposals, business cases, executive summaries, reports, articles, and other business documents.

Engage Different Personality Styles

Exceptional presenters have the flexibility to connect meaningfully with different personality styles in their audience. After you’ve mastered the skills learned in Creating High Impact Messages and Empower Speaking, build on those skills with this one-day workshop to give them greater precision. Learn to nuance your message and delivery style in a way that builds trust and wins results.
