Making Effective Presentations Around the World


This 2½ -day workshop will equip you with the necessary skills to make professional presentations around the world. It is a four-in-one presentation
workshop which combines: I. a structural framework for an audience-centered message; II. delivery techniques (voice, body language and gestures for creating impact); III. guidelines for using visual support; IV. intercultural tips for making your presentations in different target cultures. Course participants are requested to come to the workshop with a presentation theme that relates to their work.

Content

I. Audience-centered message
Participants learn how to prepare and develop their key message using an audience-centered approach to presenting products, services or even when providing general information. You are provided a structure to help present your ideas clearly and the specific language needed to be able to present coherently in English

II. The Delivery

How you say something can be just as important as what you say. Therefore, participants will learn and practice the important aspects of "storytelling", using proper intonation, pauses, volume, tempo and body language...as well as how and when to use examples, anecdotes and analogies.

III. Visual support
Effective speakers use visuals to support their message - and not drown it under too many - and often "busy" slides. In this section, participants will learn when to use slides and how they should look.

IV. Intercultural dimension
This final part of the workshop focuses on the intercultural differences involved in making a presentation to different national audiences. Participants learn how to adapt their presentations in both style and content in order to communicate effectively to specific national groups. Areas of focus include:
