Presentation Skills Training

"The purpose of writing is to establish a thought-provoking environment in which others can think." Edward Schlossberg, Author, Educator

"According to a variety of studies, humanity's biggest fear is public speaking. The Number Two is dying. Does that sound right? That means to the typical person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off showing up dead than delivering the eulogy." John Steinbeck, Novelist

When you are writing and speaking in public, successful communication starts and ends with the what -- the content. The how will come easier. Once writing training and presentation skills training help you in gaining power (and you will have confidence because you'll be a trained pro) you'll have no problems writing or speaking in public.

In order to accomplish that, aided by writing training, keep in mind the three foundations of effective communication, written or spoken:

Writing is thinking. Compared to an unplanned conversation, writing -- whether a presentation to a group or a report for the boss or a sales proposal -- presents you the time to show how smart you are.

Understand your audience and your readers. Are they advanced or beginners? Are they novices? Do they want to be entertained or instructed or persuaded? What do you want them to take away from your email?

Edit and revise and, when public speaking, practice time and again. If you do not review your work with care before hitting the "send" button, or rehearse the details and delivery of your presentation, you risk looking unprepared and unprofessional. It's called quality control, and without it effective communication is almost impossible.
