High-Stakes Presentation and Conversation Skills

Expectations are very high.  Executives expect presentations made to them to be crisp, clear, and credible, with the content precisely centered on their needs.

They also expect the presenter to display a strong executive presence -- whether the presenter is actually an executive or not!

When a presenter's content is technically dense or highly complicated, audience attention can wander and understanding can evaporate. In this two day training workshop, technical professionals learn how to hold an audience's interest and ensure comprehension of data that may otherwise be considered "dry" or "too technical." This training builds the skills needed to effectively present technical or data-rich information to both technical and non-technical audiences with clarity, confidence, and credibility.

Creating Clear and Compelling Messages is a highly interactive, 2 ½-hour virtual workshop, followed by a skills-building lab, designed to teach participants how to create powerful content with a listener-centered story flow to get the results they want in their key conversations and presentations.

Finalist presentations –- also known as finalist meetings, team interviews, bid interviews, orals, or “bake-offs” –- are among the highest stakes communication situations in business.

Weeks, months, and even years of sales efforts, RFPs, proposals, and re-proposals are weeded down by the buyers into a final short list of competitors. Each of these competitors then must deliver a formal, final presentation to the buyers before a decision is made on which company will win the business.

As the world leader in finalist presentation preparation and delivery, Mandel Communications has identified the key areas of best practices that drive huge competitive advantage when the outcome is “all-or-nothing."

Learn to differentiate yourself by skillfully weaving the epic power of two-minute storytelling into your presentations, conversations, and meetings. Use short and vivid stories to bring your content to life in the minds and imaginations of listeners and decision makers.

As more and more organizations seek to cut costs and boost productivity, the number of virtual meetings is exploding worldwide.  Unfortunately, virtual meetings do not automatically make meetings more efficient—or their results more productive. What they often create instead is a new set of problems.

This is a unique, highly-interactive virtual workshop that will prepare you to lead extremely engaging and productive virtual meetings. The workshop teaches the new skills needed to lead virtual meetings successfully based on the realities of v-meeting environments and human nature.
