Presenting professionally with PowerPoint

Benefits

Presence, structure and persuasive power that make an impact.

In our open workshop «Professional Presenting with PowerPoint», you learn in a short time how to create and deliver light-footed, persuasive presentations.

Even when you present with slides: YOU are the center of competence for your content. Never the slides.

After the workshop, you can structure your presentations clearly, present with confidence, and make it clear: you stand behind what you say. So that your content is not only understood, but also convinces.

Because professional presenting is far more than beautiful slides: it's about presence, impact, clear messages and storytelling. About using your slides cleverly as support. PowerPoint doesn't become a slide desert, but a stage for your message and your impact.

Objectives

  • deliver your presentations with a convincing impact
  • structure your presentation clearly and for the right audience
  • reinforce your storyline with slides instead of overloading it
  • You can keep the thread of your argument without having to read the slides
  • You handle questions with confidence

Content

  • What does it mean to have a good impact when presenting with slides?
  • How to use PowerPoint as a supporting act, not the main character
  • How the verbal, paraverbal and nonverbal levels of communication interact
  • The importance of the first impression
  • Body language, voice, structure: convince, captivate and motivate
  • Guiding the audience's gaze: How not to lose contact despite the slides
  • Presence in the room: Taking the «stage»
  • Getting the voice right: How to speak so people actually listen to you (and don't read)
  • The power of the beginning and the end
  • Developing a storyline: How to find the common thread for your topic
  • Opener: Captivating the audience from the very first sentence with an appealing start
  • Cliffhanger: Creating an ending that sticks
  • Clear and convincing: Structuring slides
  • Emergency strategies: Staying composed in difficult situations
  • A few exercises against nervousness to ensure success

You register as an individual and train in a group. The workshop lasts one day. The focus is on DOING IT YOURSELF:

You should try things out, practice, receive feedback and stand in front of the camera several times. Our feedback is concrete and immediately actionable.

We look forward to seeing you!

Until then: Don't write titles on your slides, write messages. This helps for better understanding.

Feedback

What participants say.

  • Für mich war Sybille die perfekte Kursleiterin – mit grosser Erfahrung und starker Präsenz. Das Üben vor der Kamera sowie die Besprechung des Auftritts – mit konkreten Tipps zur Verbesserung – war sehr hilfreich. Wir konnten uns alle verbessern und uns dabei gegenseitig unterstützen. Toll!

  • Dank häufigem Auftreten vor der Kamera und viel Feedback von der Veranstalterin und den anderen Teilnehmenden, konnten wir uns schnell verbessern und unsere Auftrittskenntnisse verbessern. Was ich stark gemerkt habe, ist, wie viel sicherer ich mich nun beim Präsentieren und Reden vor Leuten fühle. Dadurch, dass wir wissen, wie wir mit etwa kritischen Fragen umgehen können, fühle ich mich viel selbstsicherer.

Presentation skills and rhetoric

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, voice, impact

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