Stand and Deliver:The Art of Making Presentations
By way of introduction...
• 10 years professional experience in Germany
• 10,000 hours as freelance trainer and coach
• Fluent English, German and Turkish
John L. Faulk, Owner of Fireside Consulting
Stories inspire people to action...
• The human brain is „hard-wired“ for stories
• We use stories to inform and mobilize people
• Political leaders use stories to shape public opinion
• Basic rhetorical techniques key to business success
...but are often killed by PowerPoint.
• 30 million PowerPoint presentations daily
• Instead of stories – monologues
• Instead of dialog – frontal „preaching“ mode
• Word documents on the wall (not slides)
• Graphic or visual elements rarely considered
In my workshop you will learn to...
• Speak confidently and professionally
• Establish contact with your audience
• Gesture naturally and own your space
• Focus audience attention on your slides
• Develop yourself as a poised speaker!
• „Stand and Deliver“ means „Get up and tell us your story!“
• Participants complete targeted exercises to build confidence
• The coach trains members in classical rhetorical techniques
• All talks are videotaped, viewed and critiqued by colleagues
• Finally, members use the „Fireside Approach“ to present
How does the „Stand and Deliver“ seminar work?
• New techniques that I‘ve designed for PowerPoint presentations
• Makes your talk more lively and coherent for your listeners
• Not American-style „presentainment“ or „showmanship“
• The Goal: Get your message across to your audience!
What exactly is the „Fireside Approach“?
How do you coach people in your seminar?
• I show people exactly how to use the new techniques
• Hands-on training ensures immediate success
• Each person finds his / her own presentation style
• Colleagues give support through honest feedback
Present Feedback Repeat!
• Positive, encouraging atmosphere in the seminar room
• Stance, gestures and voice tone practiced before the talk
• Feedback given to the speaker after each presentation
• Video material viewed and critiqued together in the group
...and then participants present again!
