Power Communication > Program 2: Present!

Present! is a breakthrough level program that rewrites the styles of business presentation and takes participants beyond previous comfort zones. The one and a half day program has been called a "verbal ropes course". Our aim is to strengthen people's ability to speak to groups in a way that causes a transfer of interest, information and motivation.

Present! starts with the physical: breathing, relaxing, and moving. Each attendee is videoed in an opening presentation as a reference point. The participants learn and practice five critical skills for all presentations: Role, Purpose, Control (of material), Timing and Projection.

Prepared and extemporaneous presentations are practiced. Body movement is coached along with vocal strength. Voice coaches give feedback.

In monologues and role-plays each presenter explores a range of expression and emotion. Mid point videos are debriefed, and feedback points to aspects needing further tuning. Peer coaching is used to strengthen delivery ability. Openness to feedback is expanded and self-correction taught. Confidence builds as each stage in the program takes hold.

On the second day each participant –first coaching with a peer- makes a final presentation that is also videoed. Side by side assessment and feedback is given and 'best bits" scored by the whole group for personal review. Videos are available for individual study.

Additional individual coaching or field audits can be provided as appropriate to achieve mastery.
