Craft Your Presentation
Begin the design of the presentation to be delivered on Day 2 with guidance from the facilitator (note that there may be some ‘homework’ to set participants up for success on Day 2)
Deliver with Impact
- How to use visual aids and other tools
- Auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and body language factors
- Additional tools to help build rapport, trust and add value
- Managing nerves ad anxiety
Practice Delivery
- Refine presentations and deliver to the group
- Provide feedback to each participant using guidelines provided by the facilitator
Staging and Other Considerations
- Considerations for in-person presentations: location, facilitation materials, equipment
- The importance of preparation and anticipating potential roadblocks when it comes to the presentation environment (room setup, technology, other a/v, etc)
Plan
Craft an action plan focusing on what participants need to do to continue learning and practising their presentation skills
NOTE: This training has been designed for approximately 6 participants with 6 hours of content per day plus breaks and lunch. Because participants are actively presenting and receiving feedback from peers and the facilitator, either the duration or number of facilitators and rooms would need to be increased for more than 6 participants for the optimal experience.
