Communications Pacific's extensive presentation training program includes strategies for all types of presentations - speeches, board meetings, legislative testimony, new business presentations and others. We provide participants with the tools and knowledge necessary to make effective presentations to their varied audiences.

The strategic centerpiece of the course is determining your messages and preparing you to deliver them with razor-sharp language and refined techniques that give your audience the best chance of understanding and absorbing what you wish to convey.

Preparation
We begin training preparation by learning more about each participant, reviewing a brief written questionnaire, past presentations and the script to be delivered, as well as by understanding the presenter's goals and the needs of his or her intended audiences.

The Course
A presentation trainer and a training specialist conduct the course, which focuses both on content and delivery. We teach techniques that increase audience attention - and retention of the details you present. The course includes the following elements:

• The Presentation Basics - Content and Style, What Makes a Successful Presentation
  
• Audience Needs
  
• Presentation Philosophy - Features to Benefits, Developing Messages and Themes
  
• Presentation Content - Listening Cycles, Structure, Scripting, Memory Supports
  
• Delivery Style - Having the Right Attitude, How to Connect With the Audience, Memorizing to Forget
  
• Scripting Questions and Answers
  
• Listening Skills - Active vs. Passive Listening

Even in group sessions, we work with each participant individually. We videotape, review and constructively critique each presentation made as the session progresses, helping participants build not just technique, but confidence.

Post-Training Evaluation
We provide a confidential course evaluation that summarizes the presenter's strengths as well as areas that need improvement. It also includes a recap of key messages, helpful tips and techniques, written course materials and video dubs of each presenter.
