Opening and Closing
Presentations with Power

We've seen too many speakers with good skills and even better content give only average presentations. They don't get the audience engaged at the beginning and then they leave them flat at the end.

Which way will you begin your next presentation?

"I'm here today to tell you a few things about how you can make your presentations a bit more memorable. I would like to show you that how you begin and how you end a presentation can make a difference."

OR

"The first 60 seconds are the most important in the entire presentation.

When I prepare a presentation, I spend as much time preparing the first minute as I do on the rest of the presentation. During this first minute I have to give the members of the audience a reason to listen to me and a reason to believe that what I have to say is going to change their lives.

When I end the presentation I want them to think about my opening while listening with enthusiasm up until the final words, which most definitely will not start with the words 'in conclusion.'"

What to Expect

This training program will show you how to strengthen your presentations by constructing and delivering better openings and closings. You will:

• Learn a variety of techniques for capturing your audience's attention including use of visuals, pictures, quotations, stories, and music,
• Harness the power of exquisite silence,
• Practice and see yourself in action, on camera,
• Get personal critiques from your instructor and program participants,
• Increase your awareness of and ability to use techniques to connect with the audience, even in large rooms, and
• Build on your current skills to ensure that when you present you sound and look your absolute best.

Participants in the program will become more:

• Engaging (someone who grabs the audience's attention and gains instant credibility),
• Energizing (someone who is memorable and worth listening to), and
• Effective (someone who communicates their message clearly).

Who Should Attend?

This course is open to all experienced professionals who want to improve and strengthen their communication and presentation skills. In particular, this program will allow participants to develop a persuasive edge that will help them to be more effective in front of internal and external audiences.
