Are you losing sales because of your inability to get your point across? Is your voice hurting or helping your presentation?

Most jobs in today’s corporate world involve presentations – be it to clients, colleagues or to the management. And the truth is, just as a book is often judged by its cover, we are more often that not, judged by how we say things rather than what we say. 

Support for your project, idea, proposal, product purchase or even a budget approval can be won or lost based on your ability to present with credibility and to deliver your thoughts and ideas with style, confidence and authority.

Presentation is not just about standing at the podium and running through the slides. It is about engaging and gaining your audience’s attention then presenting your ideas in a clear, concise and persuasive manner. It involves you being prepared in all aspects of your presentation versus simply focusing on the power point presentation.

Having superior presentation skills will not only make you a more effective communicator, but will also enhance your credibility at your workplace as you will be perceived as an expert.

In the 2 days of The Art of Persuasion workshop, facilitated by Pamela Wigglesworth and Paul Carr, you will address components of the overall presentation; the content, the power point slide presentation and verbal delivery, posture and gestures, and non-verbal communication. Your style of delivery will be enhanced when you learn voice techniques involving pitch, tone, breath, and voice projection.

 Your walk, your posture, your facial expression, voice, pitch, pace, diction, pronunciation of English words – these are the aspects which can make a real difference for  senior executives and middle management.

Here is what you will be able to do after the workshop:

• Write content that conveys with impact the important facts and inspires action
• Develop, design and layout PowerPoint presentations that engage the audience
• Adopt a PowerPoint presentation style that moves away from “script” slides filled with bullet points
• Utilize visuals to improve the presentation and support the message
• Implement attention grabbing openers and close the presentation with a statement of purpose
• What is a professional image and why is it so important.
• Learn the six secrets of a great voice
• Make use of gestures for added visual dimension
• Enhance the message with positive body language, posture and strong vocal quality
• Manage nervousness and build confidence
• Discover how to use your voice more effectively each day
