DESCRIPTION
This is one of the sessions in our course on Presentation Styles For over two decades, I have seen or heard thousands of presentations! The ones that clinch the deal are those which are not only well planned and prepared but also well delivered with the right punch, the right voice control, right dress for the occasion, the right presentation aids and so details which might appear trivial but make or break a deal. I have also seen presentations that are forgotten the minute they are over – a few claps but no action. I have had the opportunity of helping over a thousand managers, supervisors and CEOs transform to deliver presentations that result into Approvals or Orders. I don’t lecture anything – but prepare you to prepare and deliver. During the workshop you will actually make and DELIVER several rounds of presentations on video which will be recorded and played back with feedback – right till you are READY to make that winning presentation on your own – over and over again.
