THE PROCESS IN DETAIL
Instantly update every part of your presentation process
Presentations aren’t simply about the confidence you project on stage or in front of a camera. A great presentation rivets and engages from the very first moment, and drives your audience to think, feel or do something differently.
Your Total Presentation Speed Class delivers the essentials that you need to make your next presentation memorable and effective with a proven 5-Step Process:
Step 01 — Actually think about what you’re doing
Too many presenters go into “autopilot” when they’re handed the task of making a pitch or delivering a keynote. In this step you learn…
+ Getting unstuck when it comes to presentations
+ How to identify “why” you’re presenting
+ The secret to great presentations
+ Thinking about your presentation as a moment of sell
Step 02 — Start with your audience
Your audience is the single most important part of your presentation. When you’re meaningful and relevant, they’re engaged and ready to act. In this step you learn…
+ Why it’s important to focus on your audience
+ Skills for empathy and personas
+ Effective questions to ask
+ How to map your audience journey
Step 03 — Build a Blueprint
“Structure” your presentation instead of writing it to see a clear, powerful, memorable narrative. In this step you learn...
+ What your talk should be “about”
+ How to hold “The Conversation”
+ Developing an effective Point and Chapters
+ Building brilliant headlines
+ Scripting a presentation Blueprint
Step 04 — Be interesting and valuable
Draw on more than a dozen tools to snatch and retain the attention of your audience. In this step you learn…
+ Why “navigation” and “scalability” are so important
+ The essentials of telling the great story
+ Using behavioural economics tools like Associations and Reciprocity
+ The mistakes of PowerPoint and presentation visuals
+ How to specifically structure the first and last minute of any talk
+ The effectiveness of visual language, white space and countdowns
Step 05 — Think strategically about your performance
You’re standing on stage or in front of the camera. Now what? Now you unleash your super authentic, rehearsed self to create confidence and connection. In this step, you learn…
+ How to determine your presentation persona
+ Practical skills for rehearsal
+ What to do to look great on stage and in virtual
"The 5-step process allowed me to create presentations that were more engaging, effective and fun to deliver!
Step 3 revolutionized the way I structure my communications. Getting clear on what my audience wants allows me to create communications that directly meet my audience where they are and facilitate their connection to the content."
