Enhancing Your Presentation Skills
In the first session of this seminar, attendees will review the basics of presentation skills, audience expectations and how to grab the audience's attention from the start. We will use group discussions and individual exercises to address
presentation openings that are doomed to failure; common mistakes and how to avoid them; essential tips, techniques and templates for a successful presentation; and strategies to manage nerves.

| 9:35 a.m. - 10:55 a.m. |
Storytelling with Purpose
Storytelling can convey ideas more clearly than a recitation of facts. In this session, we will use discussions and exercises to illustrate how to craft a strategy to hook an audience, create memorability anchors for your audience, and
connect with audiences as an influential speaker.

Break |
| 11:10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. |
Physical Movement
Using physical movement to communicate helps presenters position themselves as authority figures. This session will explore how facial expressions influence audience attitudes and what the basic power positions for speakers are. It will
also address how to time your movement with key points in your presentation. Finally, you will learn how to use body language, gestures, and expressions to get higher evaluations and more buy-in for your position.

Group Lunch |
| 1:30 p.m. - 2:50 p.m. |
Using Visual Presentation Tools
Using visual aids and tools in a supporting role is essential for all public speakers. (PowerPoint is NOT the presentation and NOT the only tool available). In this session, you will discover ways to create attention-getting presentations,
including the types of slides your presentation must have. It will also cover TED Talk-style presentation secrets and other visual presentation tools, such as Prezi, Viddyoze, Animoto and video.

| 2:50 p.m. - 3:05 p.m. |
Break |
| 3:05 p.m. - 4:25 p.m. |
Closing the Deal
Presentations can help you engage audiences, position your experience and authority, influence audience beliefs and attitudes, and covert people to your position — if you use effective presentation skills. In the final block of this seminar
you will learn techniques to get audience participation in meetings and the power of presence through your Influence and Persuasion Intelligence (IPI). We will end with a discussion of pros and cos on handouts in presentations.
