the right message
Learning Objective:
To learn and practice the skills needed to arrange and present personal presentations, of a standard that ensures good audience reception, transmits the desired message in a polished & professional way, and inspires the target audience to support your cause/ buy your product or service/ or just listen with interest, depending on your objective.
REQUIRES PRE-COURSE PREPARATION.
Target Audience:
Anyone wishing to appear in front of others to speak for any purpose.
Content:
One-Day Version: During the day, participants present pre-prepared 10-minute presentations (to a supplied format), which are recorded on individual VHS tapes. These are critiqued by the group in a mutually supportive & constructive manner, which is made easier by the small group size (6). As the theory/skill sessions progress, teams are required to create 'spot' presentations, working together and using the theory/skill just discussed. The facilitators use themselves as an object lesson, including 'how-not-to's' for dramatic effect.
Theory/skills content: Visual appearance, energy & authority, professional conduct, sincerity, humour, sexism, slang/jargon. Room set-up, establishing rules, audience control, format/style, voice techniques, microphones, visual aids, planning session outlines, preparation/use of scripts, dealing with nervousness, venue preparation, rehearsals, preparation checklist.
Two-Day Version: Same theory/skills content, but we can experiment more, including "before & after" comparisons by doing another presentation-to-camera on the second day.
Length: Optional one or two full days
Format: Workgroup interactive
Maximum number Participants/facilitator: 6 (one-day format) or 10 (two day)
