Presentations (Orals) Coaching
Presenting effectively is key to winning contract bids, connecting with and informing staff, conducting critical design reviews and moderating critical stockholders meetings and question/answer sessions to achieve the best results possible. Although coaching sessions are customized to the needs of the participants, skills generally covered include:
- When to read and when not to
- Minimizing nervousness and fear
- Using verbal, vocal, and nonverbal channels for effective presenting
- Using slides/Power Point and other presentation media
- Handling difficult questions and difficult audience members
- Connecting with and keeping the audience's attention
- Selecting the right level of detail...how much is enough? How much is too much?
- Staying on time and staying on topic
Ronnie Moore has worked successfully with professional personnel at the highest levels in government and corporate entities and has helped these professionals win multimillion dollar contracts.
Why is Ronnie's presentations (orals) coaching different?
Big contracts are not lost at orals because presenters are imperfect, because they mumble or have a glitch with the projector. Although presentations and presenters should be as smooth and eloquent as possible,and coaching covers the fine points of presenting, the key issue is establishing rapport and and delivering the right message. What does the audience in that briefing room need to know? What does the information presented mean to the people receiving that information? Why does it matter to them? How can briefers establish rapport and connection...with their audience and with the rest of their briefing team? Briefers must be coached to show passion...for the work, for their audience, and for their own colleagues...the other members of their presentation team. It's about the people in a briefing, not just the paper. Or the slides. Ronnie's experience and expertise in communication is the reason that the people she coaches usually win!
