Dynamic Presentation Skills
: Now, more than ever, professionals are expected to be capable presenters. Yet statistics still show that a large percentage of the population consider death to be preferable to having to speak in public. This two-day seminar focuses on training people to be capable presenters. The first day focuses on preparing presentations and on engaging the audience. The second day's efforts are directed at using audio-visual resources to enhance a presentation. The class demonstrates appropriate use of Power Point software, preparation of handouts and the use and preparation of overhead transparencies.

One of our more popular topics, "Monkey Management," a term coined by William Oncken in a Harvard Business Review article, offers strategies for minimizing the impact of subordinate-imposed tasks on managers and for improving the subordinates' abilities and skills in managing tasks.
