SPEAK TO US NOW

Primary Benefits

• Add to intellectual capital with up to  14 new presenters per course
• Add value to your audiences
• Enhance individual self-esteem
• Build inter-group communication

Developing dynamic business-meeting presenters is an investment in your organisation’s intellectual capital.

The Business Presentation Skills Courses  provide you with up to 14 professional-level presenters from each course.

Because audiences are expensive to assemble, developing high-quality speakers and presenters is essential. Confident, expertly skilled presenters convert audiences into valuable company assets.

The Value/Cost equations of your existing presenters: Skilled presenters  x  audience size =  Intensified value. Poorly skilled presenters x  audience size =  Intensified loss.

Speak•NZ present their conference workshop, ‘PowerPoint for Professionals’.

Becoming a confidently effective presenter is magic for anyone’s self-esteem. That’s partly why most of our clients offer the course to everyone.

Can you identify your organisation’s presentation-benchmark? Do your average meeting leaders’ presentation skills reach excellent? No? Speak to us about resetting your quality-‘tipping point’.

Interaction, collaboration and trust are at the heart of the course. Clients routinely observe how much they value the lasting professional cross-department relationships this establishes.

Course Format

Why 3 (or 4) half – day workshops, a week apart (8-14 participants.).

Half days are more effective, more efficient instruments than 2 day back-to-back courses for this intense style of learning.  The gap-week between each workshop encourages quality preparation for the formal presentations participants will deliver. They appreciate having that time to reflect and to collaborate with colleagues.

It’s easier for staff to organise 4 disruption-free   hours per week than having to stop work for 2 full days.

The course format is based on cognitive psychology principles, our extensive teaching and speaking experience and collaboration with clients and partners.

Each group works in a fine-tuned coaching environment, alive with authentic experiences and vivid examples . There’s little background academic theory and zero voice or breathing exercises. We don’t submit people to tedious small group role-plays.

Interesting, engaging, funny, interactive. Heaps of tips and tricks to takeaway!

John Quinn… such an engaging presenter, had my attention right from the start. I will never use a bullet point again!

Great ideas and help thinking about how I can DISRUPT at my events!

Presentation training is crucial

If you’ve got confidence in yourself, and your communication skills then this will allow you to better communicate with others in public settings and sell your message. Having, or not having, these skills can be the difference between a great presentation and one that bomb’s. But not many are just born ‘great presenters’. It takes knowledge, time and practice to become an exceptional presenter but not to worry, Audience Alive’s presentation skills training helps guide you onto the path of presenter greatness.

Learn presenting skills

 When you learn presenting skills with Audience Alive you won’t miss out on using PowerPoint. We don’t ban PowerPoint, instead you’ll learn how to present effectively WITH it. Get ready to learn to present WITHOUT 100’s of slides and 1000’s of bullet points. Be willing to try something new and get out of your comfort zone because the rewards you’ll get from a unique presentation delivered with confidence are endless.

Years of experience

Students trained, increase in sales using better techniques, increase in client engagement, out with the old, in with the new.

Death-by-PowerPoint, Bullet-Points, Reading slides; these are just some of the mistakes today’s presenters make when trying to communicate effectively. We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again. These are boring, sleep-inducing techniques. Instead our presentation course focuses on the new skills, designs and artistry for your presentations and how to effectively use the latest interactive and multimedia technologies to light your presentation on fire! Trust us when we say that interactive presentations with interesting and slick visuals, graphics, videos and audio play like a work of art that captures your audience’s attention and brings the engagement level from 2 to 10 in minutes.

Looking to train your kids?

Our presentation skills training courses are designed to work for you.

We know that one size doesn’t fit all so we customize our public presentation training depending on your needs: Have a fear of presenting? No worries, we’ll focus on developing your communication skills so you’ve got confidence and presence when speaking. Want a kickass presentation template designed and then rolled out to your salespeople? No drama, we’ll teach the fundamentals of effective presentations and how to use creative design tools to help push your message.

I’ve been on three of AudienceAlive’s workshops on Presentation Skills and each time I come out with a WOW experience. at first, I thought it was just me being an enthusiast for great presentations and using presentation software, but after I got AudienceAlive in to do a custom-course for the team, the vote was unanimous – it was a resounding WOW without exception from everyone in the audience. and just to put this into context – the audience were people who were ‘presenting’ for years. The greatest thing about the workshops that Audience Alive conducts that its contents are upto date, and you know that’s true because you’ve not even heard or seen these functions on PowerPoint yet (or just missed them completely the whole time). Then there’s John himself, who is a wealth of knowledge on the topic and has all the evidence to show that it works and YOU can do it as well – albeit with practice. Finally, the add-on’s – you get a ton of stuff for free, as though the knowledge and skills JQ has passed on wasn’t enough. A highly recommended workshop for anyone who is presenting to an audience. Go to AudienceAlive now, it’s never too late.
