Cut Through the Fluff in your Presentations!
Important presentations - especially presentations to senior management can be very stressful and pressurizing affairs. On top of having to make sure that you "get your facts right", you are also faced with a time-challenged, sceptical and even critical audience. In this information-based economy, your stimulant-weary audience has already been bombarded with information from multiple sources, and have to multi-task on their job. If you don't get to the point, you don't stand a chance!
How do you sharpen your message, position your ideas, and present them in a way that they "get it"? In this interactive workshop, Shannon will be sharing with you how to cut through the fluff and craft your presentations in such a way that will make your audience sit up, take notice, think, feel and act. As best-selling author and international speaker Scott Berkun said very aptly, "Good public speaking is based on good private thinking". Shannon will also be teaching you the thought patterns that the best business communicators adopt to sort through the bombardment of information, so that we can collect, sort, sift and synthesise the information to craft presentations that inform, impact, influence and inspire!
