Presenting with Pizzazz! ©
The art of persuading, promoting, and presenting.

To be successful in the 21st century workplace, individuals must be effective at presenting their ideas and influencing others.  Whether one-on-one, in small groups, or in front of large audiences, the art of effective presentation and self-promotion is a skill that can be mastered through training, practice, and experience. 

Delivering presentations can be particularly challenging since we now are competing with MTV.  Audiences expect to be constantly entertained, educated, and motivated within a short, "sound bite" attention span.  In order for participants to integrate new knowledge and enhance skills, presentations must be dynamic, participant-driven, and based upon adult learning principles.  

 In this program, you will:

• Understand the difference between effective self-promotion and "ego talk".

• Practice strategies to effectively influence others or self-promote in a one-on-one or small group situation.

• Learn about the latest techniques for engaging adult audiences.

• Design presentations to achieve desired outcomes.

• Create effective visual and supporting materials.

• Cultivate a positive learning environment.

• Manage the logistics.

• Practice effective delivery techniques.

This program is offered as a keynote presentation (unlimited number of audience members) or in a half-day or full-day training session for a maximum of 30 participants.
