There’s no such thing as a “natural communicator.” These skills are learned . . . practiced . . . and perfected over time.
Rockford Gray has developed proven tools that help executives prepare and then deliver their important messages to any audience. Our goal is to build confidence by providing practical approaches for organizing and delivering effective presentations.
Presentation Skills Training can be delivered to groups or one—on-one. The key to success is developing good speaking habits and then repeating that behavior over and over.
The Rockford Gray training experience includes:
- Getting organized- The how-to of preparing for an effective presentation
- Using PowerPoint to your advantage and not to the audience’s distraction
- Elements of Style- Utilizing voice, facial expressions, posture, and gestures
- Question & Answer techniques
- Eliminating filler words: the “ums”, “ahs” and “you knows”
Every session also includes role-playing in which participants prepare and then deliver a presentation. This presentation is video-taped and critiqued in real-time.
Typically, participants are preparing for actual speaking opportunities, including:
- Speeches
- Industry forums or panel discussions
- Analysts meeting or call
- Shareholder meetings
- Employee presentations
- Customer meetings
- Public hearings or community meetings
Standing up and telling a good story is ultimately a performance. It draws attention to both people and their ideas. The key is to take advantage of the tools and skills that are organically a part of each individual’s communications style. We work with each of your people on the elements of style that are at the core of good person-to-person communications.
