Overview:

Many people can get up and just talk about something directly to their audience.

But how can we make it more interesting. Audiences have gotten used to seeing presentations always done the same way - with endless PowerPoint slides delivered by someone that might know the content, but who is easy to tune out. Audiences tend to forget about these types of presentations and don't really pay attention. Your goal is to change what they are used to and make it different enough that they remember it.

This webinar develops presentation skills to increase retention. Learn how to better tell your story and make your presentations dynamic and engaging so the audience will never forget it.

Learn how to create a dynamic presentation that will not put your audience to sleep! You will also learn how to most effectively convey your story with presentation tools, such as PowerPoint and handouts, to best compliment your presentation and engage your audience.

Why should you Attend: When delivering a presentation and speaking to an audience, how do you ensure that they pay attention and actually retain your information? If your audience enjoys your presentation, they are that much more likely to retain more of the information and will have a much more positive attitude toward the information you are conveying. So how do we develop that presentation edge, so we are not only the best presenter, but the most anticipated?

This webinar will touch on the techniques that help you best tell your story in your presentation so that your audience enjoys and retains the info.
