Overview/Description

There are a number of basic types of presentations, but all presentations have four things in common: a presenter, an audience, a venue, and a message. This course concentrates on showing how each of these vital elements has to be taken into account when preparing a presentation. Presenting is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced, starting with how you prepare, and you will be shown a simple but powerful method for selecting the right content, and then structuring it. Controlling nerves is an important part of preparing, and this course helps you to remove anxieties in the presentation environment by making sure that the venue is set up correctly, and ensuring that you rehearse appropriately.

So, the presentation is prepared and practiced. Great. But this means nothing to the audience. When you stand there in front of them, all that matters to them is what you look like and what you say. This course is about delivering your message, and the techniques you need to do this. First of all, you have to make a positive first impression on your audience members by how and where you stand, by your appearance, and how you look at them. Then, you must lead your audience through your message, referencing what is important through the language you use, and the physical techniques you employ. Finally, the course shows what is needed to make a presentation really memorable, the 'wow' factor that outstanding presenters have, and how to achieve it.

This course is about making effective use of resources that can take the pressure off you--visual aids, questions, and making a team presentation. Visual aids are overused, and presenters are overdependent on them. You need to know what visuals are available to you, and be able to determine which one suits a particular need. You need to know what makes a successful visual. Finally, you need to be able to use PowerPoint and other software packages appropriately, with a clear idea of what they can do. Some presenters are afraid of questions from the audience because they seem to represent a loss of control. This course shows you that questions are positive opportunities to be grasped eagerly: they are a way of deepening your communication with the audience. But there are techniques to handling questions successfully, and they need to be learned and practiced. Sometimes, a speaker needs to appear in front of a client or colleagues and present, but as part of team. Each member of the team speaks, but the team members are collectively responsible for communicating the message. This course tells you when team presentations are appropriate. It shows you how to look and sound like a team, how to prepare and practice together, and how to apply techniques that reinforce, rather than undermine, your collective relationship.

After years of research and development, the Top-Shelf Cola Company is finally ready to release its latest beverage, Passion, to consumers. Passion is a caffeine-free, all-natural soda that's made from real passion fruits. The company has spent ten million dollars to perfect the product's taste and to create a brand for the drink. You are a brand manager at Top-Shelf and responsible for the Passion brand along with your coworker, Hannah. The drink will be hitting the streets soon, and the marketing campaign for Passion has already begun. Top-Shelf has been aligned with several restaurant chains to exclusively sell its other soft drinks. Now, Top-Shelf management wants Passion to also be on the menus at these chains. In this simulation, you must prepare and deliver a presentation to some of Top-Shelf's existing customers and convince representatives from these chains that they should be offering Passion to their customers.
