Presenting professionally with PowerPoint

Benefits

You want to structure your PowerPoint presentations with less effort, lightly and convincingly: with a common thread, an opening that gets your audience on board right away, and a closing that sticks. You want to be the focus, you want to take up space, you want to captivate your audience. You present your slides in a way that makes people listen to you, not just read along. And when difficult questions or situations arise, you meet both with confidence.

We claim: “The messenger IS the message!” So our workshop «Presenting Professionally with PowerPoint» is also about you. You are the messenger of your slides. If you feel confident delivering your message, your audience will sense it. You'll learn how to personally prepare for a presentation and how to score points with your listeners when presenting offers, projects and reports. You'll see which preparations are helpful, which tools are suitable, and where the pitfalls lie.

Objectives

Possible goals of your in-house workshop could include:

Participants

  • create a PowerPoint presentation with a common thread

  • convey complex strategies clearly and credibly
  • handle questions and objections with confidence

  • Emergency strategies: Staying composed in difficult situations
  • A few exercises against nervousness to ensure success

Possible content of your in-house workshop could include:

You train with us in a playful yet practical way. We don't just talk about what matters – you should experience and feel it, see and hear it! You stand in front of the camera several times, train, receive feedback and improve.

The focus is on doing it yourself. Practice takes centre stage. We're happy to respond to participants' spontaneous needs.

The content and goals are only a suggestion. We'll advise you beforehand on how best to coach your employees so that their presentations succeed. Contact us for a consultation and a quote. We look forward to hearing from you.

Conclusion:

Your employees and managers are challenged daily to present ideas, strategies or projects convincingly. In this workshop, they learn how to convey their messages clearly, visually appealingly and with personal impact – within the team, in front of senior management, or with clients.

Feedback

What participants say.

  • It’s been a great day for me. I still have many things I want to try and improve but this was a nice opportunity to learn more, in a safe place. And the video is a great way to become more aware of some details (not very comfortable to do but great for the feedback!). Thank you for your enthusiasm during the session.

  • Liebe Sibylle, Ist zwar schon wieder über eine Woche her, aber ich wollte noch eine Rückmeldung zum Workshop geben. Es hat mir wirklich sehr gefallen und ich glaube ich konnte einige Punkte mitnehmen. Ich habe sonst wahnsinnig Mühe, mich bei solchen Kursen beim Thema zu halten, aber dieses Mal gar nicht, ich finde du hast das wirklich super drauf! Hat Spass gemacht, merci.

  • Von all den Kursen, die ich in den letzten zwei Jahren besucht habe, hat dieser wohl den grössten direkten Impact auf meinen (Arbeits-)Alltag gehabt 🙂 Danke nochmals dafür!

Presentation skills

Einen Grossteil unserer Arbeit verrichten wir im Kopf, im „stillen Kämmerlein“ am PC. Auch wenn wir unsere Überlegungen am Ende an ein Publikum weitergeben wollen, sitzen wir da und arbeiten …

Authentically successful

Only when we ourselves are convinced can we convince others. It's important to know where our strengths lie.

Body language and voice

Words make up the content – but body language and voice determine the impact. Anyone who wants to appear present, persuade and inspire needs both in harmony.
