Get Results with C-Suite Presentation Skills

Precision Speaking System™

It’s been said that life is a presentation – how prepared are you?  Think about your most important presentation or meeting and ask yourself the following:

  • Do people check their smartphones while you talk? 
  • Can you answer the one question everyone is thinking? 
  • Do you turn out the lights to show your slide deck?
  • Do you read your slides from the computer or screen?
  • Does senior management interrupt your presentation or conversation?
  • Do you ever run out of the time allotted to your topic?

If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you are missing a prime opportunity to leverage yourself as a valuable asset and topic expert.

That’s where the Precision Speaking System™ can propel you to the front of the line.  Using a process-driven system and proven speaking strategies, you engage and hold a group’s attention, either in person or virtually.  You create buy-in by answering the one question that everyone asks and implement the laws of persuasion to ethically motivate from within.  You also create a strong core message that is remembered and repeated, and you appear calm and confident despite any nerves and anxiety.

Allison created the Precision Speaking System™ after 20+ years of presenting to all types of groups and audiences.  She used the system when named the Florida Speaker of the Year by the Florida Speakers Association. 

The Precision Speaking System™ is featured in multiple training formats based on your developmental goals:

 


Dynamic Presentation Skills for Subject Matter Experts and Technical Professionals

If you present to governing boards or senior level management, you may find yourself as one of 100 cattle call presentations…how do you make your statistics and data stand out? How do you capture and hold their attention during marathon presentations or right after lunch? Especially when you are given just a few minutes to explain complex information to non-technical decision makers.

Dynamic Presentation Skills is specifically designed for these types of presentations and scenarios.  In  this two-day, hands-on, interactive skill development program, you’ll master the steps to create buy-in, gain and hold and audience’s attention, hone the most important essence of your message, and create the presence of a confident and dynamic speaker.

Here are just a few of the proven, process-driven techniques, skills and tools you’ll develop in Dynamic Presentation Skills:

  • Use the Rule of 3 to keep your audience’s attention
  • Make your information and message memorable using the “Phrase That Pays”
  • Use the Precision Pyramid™ to target your message and make your information flow seamlessly
  • Create buy-in from senior-level executives
  • Manage interruptions and questions with ease
  • Present your data in a way that makes people take notice and be interested

Speak with Confidence – Powerful Presentation Skills

Presenting a dynamic, unforgettable presentation is easy – when you use the simple-to-apply strategies of a proven formula to get your message heard, not just said. You’ll uncover the power of persuading your audience to buy-in with testimonials, stories and humor.  And, you’ll turn dry, mind-numbing statistics into a memorable presentation. 

Best of all, you can tame those knocking knees and lose the sweaty palms – Speak With Confidence is just that – tools and skills to make you more comfortable and powerful when speaking to groups of people.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a group of one or 1000; this program gives you confidence to make your next presentation persuasive and effective.

Here are just a few of the skills you’ll master in this interactive, skills-rich program:

  • A step-by-step organizational technique to hone in your targeted message and create results
  • Be able to hold audience attention and keep them focused on your message
  • Develop a motivated sequence to create buy-in and persuade decision-makers
  • Anticipate and handle unexpected questions
  • Trouble-shooting techniques you can use in situations to avoid being flustered or tongue-tied
  • Create a more dynamic program with established tools that make your program unforgettable

Developing Executive Presence

If you aspire to move up within your organization, this program is a must-do.  You’ll get insights into the ability to influence people to take action and follow your lead.  You’ll practice body language that radiates confidence and authority. And you’ll learn conversational and presentation techniques to persuade and motivate people to action.

Allison created Developing Executive Presence after many years of working with clients on other projects, only to be asked to instill her own sense of polish and professionalism with company executives.  The result is a two-day, intensive development program with video-taped personal coaching and feedback.

You can expect to gain the following in this unique training:

  • Identify and build upon your personal strengths vs. leveraging mediocrity
  • Master a four-step conversation model to redirect behavior and gain commitment from team members
  • Connect to individuals and command respect through powerful body language
  • Craft a concise and meaningful message that is remembered and repeated
  • Organize your thoughts coherently in impromptu situations
  • Learn how your personal first impression is either supporting or sabotaging your efforts

Interview Skills to Appear Confident and Credible without Bragging

You finally scored the interview for a position you’ve worked hard to qualify for and is the next step in your career goals.  Now what?  Are you prepared to confidently answer the 50 most commonly asked interview questions?  Can you share your past “wins” in a way that adds value vs. bragging?  Do unexpected questions leave you grasping for words and intelligent answers? 

The answers to those questions play a major role in your professional progress. Surprisingly, most people don’t have a strategic approach to managing their most valuable assets: your reputation, past successes and personal credibility.

In this full-day course, you’ll discover body language strategies to help you appear confident even when you don’t feel that way.  You’ll have a proven tool to organize your answers ahead of the actual interview to showcase your strengths in an interesting, impactful style. And you’ll learn how to read the interviewer’s physical response in order to enhance compatibility.  You’ll also identify which of your skills have the most appeal and how to leverage that value into a future role or position.  And you’ll do all of this in a manner that subconsciously communicates credibility and expertise.

This program combines the details of executive presence, building your professional brand and dynamic presentation skills with proven tools and methodology.  The day is hands-on, highly interactive and includes a “before and after” interview session.

Take-aways from the day include:

  • Strategies to talk about your successes and skills without bragging
  • Body language gestures and posture that develop a credible presence even when you are nervous or don’t feel confident
  • Transform dry or boring topics into interesting, usable and persuasive points that create buy-in
  • Establish an executive brand that supports your career goals
  • Review the best way to answer the top interview questions commonly asked
  • Identify your key strengths and how to leverage those into future positions
  • Create compatibility using body language
  • Complete a game plan for the interview using proven, persuasive presentation tools
  • Develop a UVP to make yourself stand out above the competition

C-Suite Presentation Skills and Video Coaching

Your ability to connect, influence and impact your organization and investors is a key factor as an executive, thought leader and decision maker.  This program targets your personal communication strengths and hones them for crisp organization and messaging while minimizing traits that may sabotage your leadership.

C-Suite Presentation Skills begins with pre-program survey to assess your natural communication talents.  Day One starts with a video assessment of your personal presentation skills with observations from your presentations coach.  The principles of the Precision Speaking System™ are then applied to individual presentations, using their own subjects and slide decks.  On Day Two, each executive presents their updated presentation to the group for both peer feedback and professional critique. All comments are videotaped and each participant receives a personal DVD for self study.

Due to the highly interactive structure of this program, participation is limited to a minimum of 5 people and maximum of 10 for Director, VP and General Manager level executives.  C-Suite executives may choose a series of half-day, one-on-one coaching sessions based on a similar format.

Both groups can expect the following results and outcomes:

  • Initial skill assessment to determine natural strengths and personal derailers
  • Credibility assessment based on body language, messaging and confidence
  • Focused, deliverable content using the Precision Pyramid™ process
  • Ability to influence and impact the listener ethically through framing techniques and participant-centered dialogue
  • Best practices for the use of slide decks, supplements or handouts
  • Flexibility to adapt content and data according to the audience expertise level and interest
  • Videotaped assessment of skill application with professional critique and peer feedback (if applicable)
