Overview

If you are pitching an idea, making a proposal, selling a service, or demonstrating a product, you can be pretty sure that your audience have a very low boredom threshold.  Investors, customers, steering committees or regulatory authorities have to sit through many presentations, and after a while they cannot distinguish one from another.

So what can you do to make your presentation stand out?  How can you make sure that your audience buy into your proposal, and remember the supporting arguments?

At Canning we believe that, in a world of dull, boring presentations, a well crafted, well argued, well adapted presentation can make all the difference.  On our Making Your Presentations Memorable and Persuasive courses we help you to give your audience an incentive to listen to you, to keep them interested and enlivened, and to make sure they remember your story.

All your presentations will be recorded on camera, and you will take the footage home with you on DVD or memory stick.  You will get feedback from an expert trainer with experience of presenting and training throughout the world.

Content

• Design attractive, audience focussed central messages which grab the attention and make them hungry to hear more
• Illustrate your presentations with stories, metaphors, hooks and examples which bring the content to life, and fix themselves in the audiences memory
• Structure your presentations to cope with the natural attention fluctuations of your audience
• Justify your message with compelling arguments that funnel them towards the only realistic conclusion - Yours!
• Use your voice and body to the best possible effect
• Design visual aids that enhance, rather than interfere with, what you are saying

Tailored Courses

We can offer this course tailored specifically to the needs of your organisation and the course participants.  The training is customised to the world your organisation operates in, while maintaining many of the benefits participants gain from attending a Canning open course.  This can be a very cost effective way for an organisation to train large numbers of people.  The per-head fee can work out significantly lower than our open course fees.  Please call or mail us to discuss your requirements.
