In today′s complex business environment, the ability to deliver a persuasive presentation to internal or external customers has become a fundamental requirement. Persuasive presentations that are Clear, Concise and Compelling differentiate you from the competition and make the difference between success and failure, a sale or rejection, a worthwhile conference or a waste of time.

In our UPFRONT webinar series you will learn to prepare, construct and deliver presentations with professionalism, authenticity and confidence. We will keep you fully engaged with our ‘state of the art’ webinar design, facilitation and technology platform. We incorporate webinar Best Practices to deliver high content and high participation, enabling active learning with dynamic slides, white boards, break out rooms, polls, facilitated discussions and video.

Presentation Flow

There is a natural flow to the design, (preparation/groundwork, open/engage, body/develop, and close) yet within each section, participants are free to build a presentation that reflects their own style.

Participants will complete a prework assignment which includes having an upcoming presentation in mind for the first webinar. During each of the four modules, participants will be applying the skills and concepts to preparing for, structuring and delivering that presentation. Homework assignments will be given after each module and participants will report out and receive feedback from the group regarding the effectiveness of their progress.
