Our Tailored Solution
Raytheon has five values that they all live by, so we picked them up and made them relevant to presenting:
The 5 S’s of Presentation
- Sort
- Be clear about the impact you want to make
- Simplify
- Short and punchy makes a bigger impact than crammed to overfull
- Sweep
- Use passion and your own individual style to sweep your audience along with you
- Standardise
- Set the Presentation standard that others will aspire to
- Sustain
- Keep your audience on the edge of their seats so they’ll want more!
In a one-day presentation skills programme, which is now being offered throughout the company, we concentrated on the idea of Working Your Audience, covering the issues of an effective presentation skills programme:
- Developing a personal presenting style
- There is no right way
- Use what already works, rather than learning a new skill
- Building confidence
- Knowing you have something else to try
- The dynamics of communication and how it works
- What you do is as important, if not more, as what you say
We worked intensively on presentations using the IMPACT model:
The use of the Individual’s best skills to convey a clear Message, well Prepared, with good Audience interaction, presented with Conviction and supported by the right Technical backup.
Feedback and Testimonials
The feedback is that everyone on the effective presentation skills programme found it tremendously useful and so far, several of the participants have made inspiring and impactful presentations that they are rightly proud of.
