People in business are under constant, intense pressure to make better decisions faster in the face of a 24/7 barrage of data and opinions.
When presenters aren’t prepared to speak to what they value in a way that inspires trust and understanding, nobody wins. Deals are lost.
Critical recommendations are overlooked. Innovation is stifled.
THE EXTRAORDINARY PRESENTER™ —VIRTUAL addresses the challenge head-on by equipping presenters with five essential skills they need to THINK and SPEAK for RESULTS when presenting, both virtually and in-person:
1.THINK deeply about the audience
2.CRAFT the presentation story
3.NAVIGATE visuals to maximize impact
4.ENGAGE with executive presence
5.INTERACT credibly during tough Q&A
The hidden costs of ineffective meetings are staggering, considering the amount of time wasted alone — never mind the resources squandered or the corrosive impact of subpar decision making in your organization.
In the absence of these critical conversation skills, people fail to reach agreement, ideas fall short, projects come to a halt, and deals don’t close, especially in today’s world of virtual work.

The coronavirus may force employees to work from home, but they are not working alone.
It is still mission critical that teams work together to drive strategic initiatives, redesign processes, modify sales and marketing plans, manage projects, and implement solutions.
It is also still probable that there are cases where team leads don’t have formal authority over the team, and certainly likely that everyone is distracted by new, pressing issues.

Master the Virtual Meeting™addresses these challenges head-on by arming learners
with four essential virtual meeting skills:
STORYTELLING ISN’T SHOW BUSINESS. IT’S GOOD BUSINESS.
One significant measure of success in business is an individual’s ability to influence action.
Think of presentations and conversations as superhighways of information exchange.
If these superhighways become overloaded with facts and data, traffic becomes congested, making it difficult for anyone to make progress.
Introducing a story, metaphor, or analogy is like arriving with a virtual, VIP helicopter, lifting the listener out of the chaos, giving them a big-picture view, and moving them more quickly to the desired destination.
