It’s inevitable.

At some point in our lives, we’ve each been shaped by an exceptional leader – a teacher, coach or boss who helped us achieve more than we thought possible. Most likely, that great leader was also a great communicator. In this highly interactive workshop, you’ll learn to communicate using Whole Brain® Thinking and craft whole-brained messages. We’ll explore what you’re saying (and how you’re saying it) to help you better communicate with your team.

These days, a shortlist presentation is often won or lost during Q&A. Shoot, sometimes the whole presentation is nothing but 45 minutes of Q&A! Your teams need to be prepared to listen, think fast, and share their stories with personal, positive, passion. This workshop uses improvisation techniques to help you do just that!

We begin by laying a quick foundation of The Human Connection® – how do you equip your team to become more comfortable and connect with their audience? Then, we share our presentation preparation process, so you’ll have a plan to tackle your sales or shortlist presentation. Next, we explore how to present as a team – an untapped weapon in presentations today. Finally, we cover how to unlock a presenter’s freedom by coaching them from the “inside out.”
