A great idea is meaningless and useless unless it can be communicated properly whether written or orally. The problem with writing down great ideas is you have to trust someone will actually read what you wrote. In today’s business environment, that is something I would you should not necessarily trust. The only true, quick way you can get your idea out is through presenting it.

What does that mean though? Is a presentation something speakers do at events? The reality is you present every time you have an oral communication with someone. A presentation can be one to one, one to two, or one to hundred. It can also be a group discussion with each person contributing to a team or on a panel. The dynamic to focus on, whether you are with one person or a group, is that you are presenting to them. This element creates a number of challenges but can also be used to your advantage.

When you write, you can hide behind your words. When you present you are your words. Your audience creates an instant image of you as you begin, and then that image ebbs and flows during your presentation. That image, when not managed correctly, can overshadow or even block the message you are trying to convey.

In this web seminar we will review very pragmatic skills, tools and techniques to properly prepare and execute a successful presentation. We will look at planning, preparation, delivery techniques and delivery challenges. This is very little on theory. The focus is on actions you can do before and during the presentation to increase the power of your message and the success of your idea
