Wouldn’t
you love to dazzle your audience whenever you make a presentation, even if it’s
an audience of one?
Do you
choke and go blank? Or fumble and mumble your way through–or knock ‘em dead!
The ability to speak in front of people is an essential success skill, and no
skill opens more doors, creates more visibility and gives you more opportunity
to exercise power.
Organisational
culture in your business is formed by stories, not just strategy and execution.
The power
to communicate your thoughts is crucial to achieving your goals, whether they
concern work, family or friends. Included in this dynamic programme is content
from Mikki’s “The Art and Heart of Storytelling”.
CEOs, MDs
and business leaders have to give presentations whether to their Board of
Directors, their customers, their clients, their vendors, their trade
association or their employees. To use Peter Drucker’s format, I contend that
“delivery eats content for breakfast”. And you may know what you are going to
say but you don’t know the how.
Everyone
must speak in front of a group sometime. Whether your audience is 2 or 2000,
the key to success is to feel at ease and to speak persuasively.
We are
wired for communicating through and learning from stories. Instead of telling
our valuable stories, we think we are safer with abstractions, opinions, ideas
and beliefs rather than our lives. The more data one uses, the less connected
we feel, the more human interest, the more connection. Mikki is a unique and transformational
storyteller who will share with you the tips, tactics and techniques of
effective presentation skills plus the power of authenticity in storytelling.
