My public speaking course was arguably the best investment I made in my life.

– Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Richard Branson point to public speaking as the most valuable business skill for building a career. In fact, according to Forbes, 70% of CEOs surveyed agree that presentation skills are critical for career success. Yet most professionals have little, if any, training in this area, leaving them struggling to achieve their full potential.

It’s simple. In today’s business environment, you cannot ignore communication skills. How you deliver presentations has a significant effect on your success. Because of this, further developing your presentation abilities is no longer an option but a necessity.

Delivering effective presentations is not a soft skill. It’s a power skill — the power skill that delivers results! And it can be YOUR power skill!

Your team can’t rely on knowledge and experience alone

Just because a member of your team has a position or title does not mean they know how to communicate with others at a high level. And that is costing you money.

Look at it this way. Most of your team, if not the entire team, has been driving cars for years. Every day, they’ve gained more experience. Every day, they’ve gotten better. They understand virtually everything they need to know about driving. But if someone gave them the title of racecar driver, would they have the ability to drive at a high level and not crash? For 99.925% of them, no. To excel, they would have to learn the proper techniques.

No matter how capable your team is, if its members can’t clearly, concisely, and effectively share their ideas, they — and ultimately the company — have little opportunity to achieve the success you’re striving for.

This presentation skills training provides the solution your team needs so each member can confidently and consistently impact, influence, and inspire others.

For the greatest opportunity to reach their full potential, members of the team need to be able to effectively communicate in various situations, including

• Presenting in meetings
• Discussing opportunities with key clients
• Selling to prospects and clients
• Delivering critical information in the boardroom
• Speaking at corporate and industry events
• Speaking with key executives and managers

Effective presentation skills are your success multiplier.

Your presentation skills are more critical than ever before. And those who best communicate their messages, credibility, and ideas will advance their careers, while those less skilled will continue to struggle.

Some experts suggest that developing powerful and compelling presentation skills increases your value in business by as much as 50 percent. And while mastering presentation skills certainly benefits your career, not having them can be as equally devastating.

In these sessions, your team develops essential presentation skills, understanding how to combine message, voice, and body language so they can consistently

• Win the support of stakeholders
