Present persuasively - speak spontaneously

During this interactive presentation training, you will practice:

• How to design persuasive stories, presentations, and speeches. Includes a practice lab where you’ll rehearse your presentation multiple times using five rhetorical tools for presentations with impact, storytelling techniques, TED Talk principles, and personal trainer feedback.
• How to translate complex technical concepts into a clear and engaging message for clients and colleagues without specialist knowledge.
• How to convey your message credibly on stage. Engage people emotionally by using your facial expressions and body language with intention. Includes personalised tips on body language cues that reveal how you’re really feeling.
• How to persuade people with different communication styles? How to instantly recognise your client’s or colleague’s communication style and adapt your message and presentation accordingly.
• How to speak spontaneously and make a convincing argument on the spot with little to no preparation in meetings and client conversations. Includes spontaneous speaking speed dates to practice many scenarios.
• How to handle questions and comments during presentations. By actively listening and applying questioning techniques, mirroring, and labeling, you’ll make your conversation partner feel understood and seen—and get to the heart of what really matters. Learn strategies for managing dominant personalities, skeptics, and troublemakers without losing control of the room.
