PRESENTATION PRESENCE
Why present with presence?

What’s in it for you?
Whatever the size of your buyer audience, there are universally applicable skills and behaviors that will help increase the impact of your presentations. In this presenting with presence workshop you will enhance your ability to make excellent presentations so that they include stimulating intellectual material and have stimulating emotional import.

Connect with the buyer audience
Ensure your presentation resonates with your buyer

TEAM FINALS PRESENCE
Why team finals presence?
Whether you are presenting to an existing or a prospective client, the finals presentation can feel like a pressured situation. So, the notion of showing a poise and ease, relaxed alertness and a conversational tone in front of a group of people who are there to judge you can feel like a big ask. Maybe this is your first finals presentation of the year, so all you want to do is get through your piece without messing up! However, a reality is that the greater the feeling of togetherness, trust, support and warmth aka psychological safety on your team, the more likely you are to feel present and confident.
- Enhance team cohesiveness during finals presentations (including transitions from one person to the next)
- Use personalized introductions to make a strong first impression
- Learn and practice team presentation best practices
- Enhance your presentation presence (body language, inflection, pauses, etc.)
- Use storytelling to increase the impact of your presentation
- Engage the buying group (asking/answering questions, memorable moments, encouraging participation)
