I love helping smart people become great presenters. My book The Wizard’s Way to Powerful Presentations was created to introduce would-be presenters to the basic concepts of great presentations. I’m often asked to direct or coach someone for a presentation they must give.
By far my favorite, and most effective way of helping people become great speakers and presenters, though, is through live workshops. In a workshop of 10-20 people you have a live audience that each of the participants can work with. It’s a friendly audience, with all the members rooting for one another’s success. Over the course of 10-12 hours, I’ve seen hundreds of students, performers and business people go from “terrified to terrific,” and have a great time making the transformation.
And, while I’m happy to be the catalyst for you and your group, the truth is that if you can simply give yourselves the experience of speaking in front of others in the kind of “safe” situation we provide in our workshops, that experience alone will go a long way towards making your presentations better. Like driving a car, becoming a great presenter is something you can really learn only through experience. That’s one of the reasons we think of it as a skill for true wizards!
