TRAINING
1 hour
Possessing skills and competency is not enough. Without the ability to effectively communicate ideas, solutions, and information, what we have to offer can be overlooked or easily misunderstood. Communication is foundation of relationships, business, and our humanity. This training session will cover:
- Creating introductions that make a transition, set the mood, and establish credibility
- Crafting an opening, body, and coclusion that will capture attention, make sense, and have a clear message and call for action
- Rehearsal as the fuel in your presentation vehicle
- Setting an environment of collaboration that facilitates discussion and keeps the meeting moving forward
- Q & A
EVALUATION
Practice does not make perfect; frequency often creates bad ruts. With input from others (360 feedback) we can improve our communication skills that help us share our ideas so that we are understood and others can consider what we have to offer. The morning sessions will include:
- A written and verbal evaluation of presenters using the ‘sandwhich’ (what you did right, what you could improve on, and what you did right)
- Timing of each presenter (timer provided along with green, yellow, and red cards signifying when to conclude their presentation with in time limits).
- An ‘AH Master’ report. This role will note the use of jargon or filler words (ah, um, so, and, and, etc.) that detract from presentations.
- Timing and Ah reports will be given verbally at the end of the morning.
ONE-PAGER
A single page summary will be provided to the team members covering presentation elements, evaluation ideas, and things to consider.
