What is a Presentation Coach? What is a Presentation Coach? To best answer this question we must first define the word 'presentation.' To present, whether in our business or our personal lives, is to deliver a message or share thoughts, ideas and concepts with an audience. By in large, we hope that by presenting we will cause our audience to think, feel, say, know, or do something differently. After all, when the stakes are high and the outcome is important, we need to do everything possible to ensure that our audiences react the way we want them to. The KEY element of any presentation is PERSUASION. We want to persuade our audience to see things from our point of view. We want to persuade them to purchase our product, employ our service, learn our techniques, or vote for our proposal. If we persuade, our cause succeeds. If we don't, it fails—and, often, so does our bottom line. A Presentation Coach helps you persuade, and in turn, they help you succeed. Just like we invest heavily in articulate lawyers to argue important legal cases, or in personal trainers to achieve a better physique, it only makes sense that our day-to-day sales, training and informational presentations receive similar attention. With a skilled Presentation Coach, you become empowered with tools that help you deliver the right presentation, to the right type of audience, in the best manner possible. In essence, you become empowered to succeed. As your Presentation Coach, Derek Johnston takes the time to analyze the entire picture, addressing an array of key components. He reviews such things as audience analysis, objectives, telecommunications, content organization, writing, graphics, technology utilization, delivery style, interpretation, and results assessment. And, he helps his presenters become proficient in all of it. Where appropriate, Derek assists with scripting, graphic design support, technology interfacing, rehearsals and staging. Presentation coaching via Speak Up! Stand Out!™ training initiatives can be accomplished via face-to-face meetings, telephone, e-mail or a combination of these methods. This program can focus on a single, important presentation, or it can be tailored to impact ongoing presentation challenges. For more than a decade, Derek Johnston has helped business professionals, sport stars and politicians build and deliver successful presentations in a variety of settings. Working on a global level, his clients have included both small and large companies, as well as non-profit organizations. Derek Johnston, Corporate Speaker and Business Presentation Coach
