Speak Up and Stand Out: How to Present Like a Pro
&
Speak Up! Find your Female Presentation Power

Addressing an audience can be a daunting task. Whether conducting a team meeting, leading your Board, or presenting your annual budget to your department, you only have one chance to impress the audience and make a lasting impression. This session will provide you with practical skills and techniques to use when preparing and delivering a presentation for any group. You will learn the importance of up-front preparation and will discuss how to connect with your audience and involve them in your meeting or presentation. In addition, you learn how to handle those unexpected challenges that can arise whenever you speak in public.

Your ability to influence can make or break your effectiveness and your career. As a female presenter, your ability to assess your audience, plan for their needs and objections and deliver your ideas with aplomb is crucial. Be inspired to take every opportunity to present on your feet. Evaluate your interactions in more casual settings so that you can spread your influence more widely throughout the organization. Walk away with a smarter perspective on how to speak up and stand out – both in front of a group and one on one.

Benefits:

• Conduct a more effective meeting utilizing time tested speaker techniques.

• Prepare an engaging presentation for any situation that will involve your audience.

• Overcome common speaker challenges when addressing an audience.

• Utilize time-tested tips from the pros that will empower you and boost your confidence when preparing and delivering a presentation.

• Practice designing other-centered communication on your feet or from your seat.

• Analyze and align key initiatives of the influencer who presents to mixed gender audiences, all female audiences, and all male audiences.

• Develop ways to enhance flexibility and “get unstuck” from typical habits that plague female presenters.

Light refreshments will be served and each participant will receive a copy of Cyndi Maxey’s book, Speak Up! A Woman’s Guide To Presenting Like a Pro.
