This -two-day intensive seminar teaches participants to develop, design, and deliver concise and focused presentations in order to effectively and persuasively sell themselves and their ideas. While presenting real work presentations participants learn to take advantage of their communication and presentation strengths as well as correct their areas of weakness.
Develop

• Participants learn to logically organize content with time-saving customized formats and create executive summaries that capture the essence of their message.
• Participants use one of Wilder’s 26 formats to organize a work presentation. They save hours of time as they make points more concisely and logically.
• Participants create an executive summary of a work presentation.

Executives, in particular, have neither the time nor the interest to listen to all the details. What they do want is an overview so they can make a decision. This workshop will show you how to give executives exactly what they want.
Design
Participants practice creating or redoing a presentation that includes professionally designed slides. They learn to use the professionally designed slide images to categorize and logically structure information instead of using “sentence-on-the screen” type slides. There is about one hour on PowerPoint tips and tricks.

Participants learn to design information using Wilder’s professional-looking slide images. They have time to redo several real work slides and receive feedback.
Deliver
Participants learn how to present with confidence and clarity in a variety of formal and informal situations. (Imagine a speaker, who projects authority, conviction and enthusiasm creating a dialogue with the audience.)

• Participants use Wilder’s Delivery Tips to enable them to a pinpoint specific strengths and areas for enhancement in their presentation delivery.
• Give six to seven mini-presentations, all recorded on a DVD.
• When participants present, each one receives just-in-time feedback from the instructor.
