Present Like a PRO

1 day up to 6 participants

You know how those passionate and persuasive presentations you’ve seen in the past were delivered with a certain something? A blend of confidence, clarity, insight, personality and passion – right?

Great business communicators, presenters and speakers all have their unique blend of these traits. They can present ideas and concepts in a manner that really resonates with their audience, engages them, prompts action and engages discussion leaving them wanting to know more.

Encourage your teams to learn the skill sets and mindsets required to Present Like a Pro during this advanced presentation skills training programme specifically developed for business professionals.

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

Do away with collections of confused slides and design a logical, flowing presentation.
Understand and connect with their audience.
Organise their thoughts in a more effective way.
Inspire their audience to listen, engage and act.
Develop and practice the right amount of content and keep their talk on time.
Get a strong, confident start to their presentations.
Never lose their place again because they’ll know how to find their way back on track.
Stop staring at their script or reading from slides as they’ll easily remember their content.
Anticipate audience questions and prepare for the unexpected.
Gain more confidence by knowing what to do, where to focus and how to continue improving.

This course begins with some preparation using the ‘Audience In Mind’ and ‘Simply Amazing Structure (SAS) Principles’ workbooks, meaning delegates arrive ready to maximise their time.

At the face-to-face training, delegates will understand why four structure foundations (SAS) are key to designing engaging and persuasive presentations. They will apply their learnings to ‘real-life’ communication, so they will get to see, hear and feel the difference it makes. Next, we will storyboard their presentations and discover how to use simple yet powerful visuals to support their message.

They will leave with two bite-sized workbooks to embed their learnings and help them prepare for the 1-hour follow-up video call (optional extra) in which we’ll run through their new and improved presentation design from beginning to end, including practising the Q&A session.

To conclude, they will receive the book High-Performance Presentations book meaning they’ll learn more on the theme and continue improving beyond the course.

Other delegates say …

People tell me I’m a confident presenter but that doesn’t mean I can’t improve. I found the SAS structure AMAZING! I apply it now to everything I do, lately using it at an industry conference in London where I presented to 150 people. Dee’s techniques enabled me to gain higher audience feedback scores and be invited back to speak again.

What are the results with 1:1 training?

Dee’s presentation skills course was excellently received by the team. Every person who attended said they saw a huge difference in themselves and each other from the start of day 1 to the end of day 2. Dee’s 4MAT structure has also been hugely beneficial and is being used across the team, resulting in more concise presentations. Would highly recommend.

Before I worked with Simply Amazing Training, even the thought of presenting made me suffer from panic attacks and made me feel physically unwell. During the mindset mentoring session we uncovered the “monkeys” as Dee calls them, that were causing the issues and I learnt how to turn them into more positive thoughts instead. In another session, I learnt the tricks on the structure and preparing a presentation which gave me lots of practice which was just as well because only a few weeks later I presented at an all company conference … I felt so much better about it than I ever have before – my monkeys were under control.

I must say that making that first contact was a big step for me and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. The course is very well structured and the techniques learnt invaluable in addressing public speaking fears. We developed a good 1:1 relationship quickly. I no longer shy away from opportunities to run meetings and present updates, in fact, I have since done several types of presentations with great success. I have made a big step forward and I feel so much happier and better within myself. I am about to change role and it was my increased confidence gained from this course that gave me the impetus to seek out a different opportunity.

I decided I wanted to do motivational speaking, [The course] taught me how to structure a talk, what was my ethos, what I believed in, what were my core priorities in a talk … the things I needed to change I’ve changed … I’m happy with my talk. I thought it was full of energy, the reaction from the crowd was good [and I included] some of the key points suggested to help me so I’ve got no complaints. My confidence in how to structure a talk, how to be a speaker has grown and that’s just been working one to one.

After the Pro training, I felt very much happier, more confident and enthusiastic about my presentations. I know how to prepare and structure presentations. I know I can present well because I know how to adapt my message to what the audience wants. I now use less unnecessary hand gestures [and when I do use my hands it is for more meaningful gestures]. I am speaking more slowly and pausing more regularly [hence] less stuttering. I really liked the immediate feedback correcting me instantly.

The mindset course on ‘monkey taming’ is brilliant. For the first time, I was able to dedicate time to thinking about the things that were holding me back. The techniques and style make the ‘monkey taming’ process simple and effective, and allowed me to change my mindset.

In the Pro session, we worked on a presentation that I was to deliver at a big industry event – understanding how to get the key messages out, connect with the audience better and ultimately feel more at home ‘on stage’. I was extremely happy with my delivery and received some excellent feedback from the delegates at the conference.

Most presentation courses you come away thinking “that was great” and then forget it all… this one changes you, for the better, forever.

10/10 Better presentations! After seeing Dee speak at our annual conference I decided to sign up to her public speaking coaching lessons. I was not as confident as I’d liked to have been about preparing and delivering presentations. We tamed my ‘public speaking monkeys’ (as Dee calls them) and learnt advanced skills. Her unique approach really worked. I now feel much more confident, prepared and deliver clearer presentations. Highly recommended!

Operations Director – UK Serviced Offices Group

I took these programmes shortly before speaking at our annual conference and I had never spoken in public before. During the trainings, I learnt posture, better storytelling and how to speak with more pauses and less “ums”. We learnt how to present without even using PowerPoint and to easily remember what to say. Following the courses, I feel so much more prepared and clear and a lot less nervous. The conference talk went really well and everyone praised me on how well I’d done – I remembered everything I wanted to say without any slides at all.
