PRESENTING WITH IMPACT The ability to
speak confidently and effectively is probably the single greatest opportunity
any one person can have to inform, persuade and lead others to take
action. In light of the increasing demands
of marketing, it is essential that we learn to influence our audience in the
most clear, concise and compelling way.
We cannot afford to miss an opportunity to make a positive impact, nor
can we afford to make a mistake. Both are too costly in terms of the time,
money and energy spent to correct the situation, and to reduce error ratios. It has been
estimated that 70% of the mistakes that occur in the work place and as much as
80% of lost business are the results of poor communication-not to mention the
resultant frustrations. Oral communication is today's medium, and WE are the
vehicles. We need to know how to make
people want to listen, believe us and take action. This course will help us
enhance WHAT we say, and HOW we say, so that our ideas don't go
unrecognized. We will learn how to
