We helped them increase their comfort level while delivering presentations. Feedback suggested that people most benefited from the preparation and delivery advice for effective presentations. Many expressed success in addressing their fear of public speaking just by learning and using the structure of the seminar.
They realized that their own stories could get their points across to the audience with more power. And these stories made their presentations easy to deliver as well. It was a great group, very enthusiastic, funny, and outspoken.
At the conclusion of the two day class I received a great deal of feedback from all the participants. They exchanged business cards and expressed a real sense of camaraderie. In fact, five out of six participants had something work related in common.
One participant who oversees the safety of the construction company said, “I was skeptical coming in here but what I learned here today I can use in all my presentations as well as my one on one coaching sessions about safety.”
Another participant is a Business Development Manager for Monin Gourmet Flavorings. He said, “I really like the session on The Power of Stories because I have so many stories about success and challenges that I had to overcome that I can use to train new salesman.”
