Presentation School

WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO SPEAK...
DO YOU SHAKE,  RATTLE,  OR ROLL?

The DCP School of Presentation:

  • Eliminates the SHAKE when presenting to a group;
  • Stops the RATTLE of nerves and fear, and the stress of public speaking; and,
  • Will teach you how to ROLL to successful presentations, more  confidence, and greater career success.

Do you cringe at the thought of speaking in public?  If so, you may be passing up golden opportunities to showcase your professional expertise. Your fear of being stared at, listened to, and judged keeps you from demonstrating your knowhow. It’s frustrating and draining to live with your fear of the spotlight. Don’t you wish you could just "get over it?"

No single skill opens more doors, creates more visibility, and gives you more power than public speaking. When it’s your turn to speak, do you:

  1. Choke and go blank?
  2. Fumble and mumble your way through?
  3. Knockem dead?

The ability to speak in front of people is an essential success skill. Yet polled professionals have named public speaking as their number one fear. That’s a shame when you consider the many ways in which strong speaking skills can help you on sales calls, when explaining a new idea to your boss, when someone fires a tough question at you during a meeting, or when you’re asked to "say a few words" in front of a group.

Whether you’re speaking one-on-one, in meetings, or to large groups, confident public speaking will help put your listeners into the palm of your hand.

The number one greatest fear coupled with the most important skill needed for advancement in today’s corporate world brings a need for a professional impact on presentation skills.

Buying training can be tricky business. Choose the wrong provider and you end up wasting time and money — and risk losing your credibility.
 

The On-Command Collection

Several levels of competence are available through this training experience. We call our training package the ON-COMMAND COLLECTION.

▪ COURAGE ON COMMAND

This is an entry-level seminar, a 4-hour introduction to fear itself and how to overcome it. We will deliver a variety of ideas and practices to instill confidence in yourself in all aspects of delivery in the areas of communication that will allow all participants an opportunity to have the "COURAGE" to approach success.

▪ CONFIDENCE ON COMMAND

This course offers Group Presentation Training for 15 participants per class. Each class consists of 3 days at 8 hours per day, for a total of 24 hours of continuous training.

In this program, the class will address how to overcome the fear of public presentations through being able to understand, identify, and use the fear itself to reduce the anxiety, both physically and mentally, of public speaking. The attendees will then be introduced to the essentials of the preparation and practice of their presentation. They will cover such areas as:  What is my topic?  What is my purpose?  Who is my audience?  What do they expect?  They will then discover how each of these questions ties in to the research, organization, and delivery of their message.

Whether it is preparing for a one-on-one interview for a job, asking for a raise or promotion, delivering a sales pitch, or just addressing a persuasive message to your team, miscommunication is the number one problem encountered today, both personally and professionally. These attendees will walk away from this training with the "CONFIDENCE" that they know how to deliver with impact and clarity. Each participant will leave the course with a video of their progress, as well as an expanded evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses from the seminar facilitator. An added bonus will be included — a Behavioral Evaluation that will help each attendee understand his or her audience and his or her own approach to them.

▪ CHARISMA ON COMMAND

This course is offered as one-on-one training and consultation for individuals interested in perfecting their own personal image and credibility, as well as for communication skills in the business world today, in combination with the intensive learning power of the group presentation in CONFIDENCE ON COMMAND.

In this tight employment market, prospective employees need to "shine" in all areas, not just during the interview process, but beyond. This ultimate learning experience polishes your own personal presentation by allowing you to more confidently express you or opinions, feelings, and ideas. During this intensive 32 hours (24 hours of group training and 8 hours of individual facilitation), the attendee will learn the skills to maintain self-esteem and composure, and learn to relate to an audience in a meaningful and motivating way, regardless of size or makeup.

They will learn to: create a dynamic presentation and to communicate it with clarity and power; field questions and objections intelligently and credibly; and, handle unexpected situations with confidence and poise.

Each attendee will leave the course of instruction with a video of their progress, as well as an expanded evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses. A complete Behavioral Evaluation will assess the participants and their abilities to interact with others and help them to have the "CHARISMA" they will enjoy, having completed this ultimate training experience.

Whether you are facing an audience of one or one thousand, your credibility as a professional is at stake, and with that, your chances of promotion and escalation up that "Corporate Ladder" depend on your "CHARISMA."

▪ COACH ON COMMAND

This course will enhance the learning potential of both group and individual training; this is referred to as our "Train the Trainer" program. This training experience will give an individual the opportunity to attain the skills of a professional speaker and trainer.

The participant will attend the CONFIDENCE ON-COMMAND class, and then get the benefits of one-on-one facilitation for an additional 16 hours of the skills it takes to go beyond "just speaking in public" and on to the realm of speaking as a professional. They will learn how to gain visibility for themselves and their ideas, and to move audiences to act on the message they are delivering. This class will remove the guesswork about what makes an effective, invigorating presentation, and outline successful techniques for preparing material and delivering it before any audience.

Students also will be instructed in ways of handling the headaches, as well as the opportunities, that presenters most often encounter. This 40-hour concentrated knowledge will wrap up with a video of their progress, as well as a completed video that they can use to introduce themselves to future prospective clients. A guaranteed job interview with one of three major seminar companies will celebrate their successful completion of this course material. They also will receive the Behavioral Evaluation for their own use to aid their communication and interaction skills with their awaiting audiences which, of course, will give them the unique ability to "COACH" with success.

The ultimate goal for this attendee will be to receive the coveted CPT (Certified Professional Trainer) designation which they can proudly display on all their business correspondence. To earn this designation, a minimum number of points must be accrued during the instruction process, and continuous training must follow in order to keep the designation current.
 

CLARITY, CONFIDENCE, AND CHARISMA also can be brought into your own location and customized to give the results that will place your organization and individuals head and shoulders above your competition. For an in-house seminar that will change the way communication is approached and presented, invest in your TEAM today. Call for customized details.
