Good communication is key to the success of any company, and being able to give speeches is an essential tool. “We all know how important communication is. When I review résumés, I always look to see what the applicant says about his or her communication skills. If an individual has a great idea but can’t explain it, that is a huge problem,” Charleen declared.
Professional presentations make a company stand out from its competitors. They solidify its status as an industry leader. “We know that nurturing the presentation skills of our people positions us as leaders and experts in our field. Superior, Inc.’s team members are learning how to organize, design, and present information in the most powerful manner. The process also builds the individual's confidence in his or her skills,” Charleen added.
Superior, Inc.’s Leader Describes Components of Presentation Skills Training
According to Charleen, Superior, Inc.’s presentation skills training covers many topics. These include basics such as information about the best ways to deliver an idea. They also provide an overview of learning styles, such as how to use visual information to support a message. Other tools taught include how to customize a talk for a specific audience and how to use presentation software.
The program stresses open communication between the presenter and the audience. The interactive, informal style not only helps the presenter connect with the audience, it also builds trust in his or her knowledge and skills. By welcoming questions, the presenter learns how to be flexible when interruptions occur.
As for creating the visual aids, which are often projected onto a screen, the trainers explain the basics of creating useable slides. Charleen explained these most important tips: “We like to include short, strong bullets that the audience can see from the back of the room. We also provide copies of the slides as handouts for notes.”
Participants are also shown acting and improv techniques for increasing their physical presence. They work on good diction and voice projection for keeping the audience engaged. Charleen talked about some suggestions for closing, saying “The instruction we provide also stresses the lasting effect of a strong wrap-up to the presentation. The ending recaps the material, tells a personal story to make a point, or displays a fun slide that generates a chuckle. The closing is critical to a strong windup. This will make the presentation stand out, and help people remember the speaker.”
