Are you looking for Advanced Presentations Skills Training?

The distinction between presentations skills training and a public speaking coach is that general public speaking skills tend to be for people who are just beginning in their career and need to speak in public. They’re mainly looking to speak with confidence.

Presentation skills training is for people who already have a fair degree of confidence and really need to polish and hone these skills in their work and their life.

Presentation skills are used in every aspect of your life. Whether you work in the community, whether you have a job in a corporate organisation, or even among friends. Some people lack the confidence to speak up and speaking up is what it’s all about.

But it’s much more than that.

Advanced presentation skills = speaking with confidence and intelligence

This is the difference between basic public speaking skills and advanced presentation training. The science of speaking is a learnable skill.

When you learn advanced presentation techniques you’ll learn to communicate in a more focused manner in these areas:-

• Intellect
• How to persuade and influence

There are particular skills involved when you need to persuade, influence, inform or entertain. They can be broken down into three main areas:-

• Physiology – what your non-verbal body language is saying
• Design – how the presentation is structured
• Delivery – how you say it

Adding power to your presentation skills training

What sets David Julian Price apart from other speaking coaches is that he specifically works more on non-verbal communication, because this is where the power comes from, particularly when you need to influence.

A global approach When you present, David Julian Price looks at the whole picture of you speaking. It’s not just about the words you say, how you say them, or whether you’re speaking clearly or not. It’s the overall impact these individual skill sets have on your audience. Getting the right mix to suit your personality and audience is a learned craft.

When David Julian Price coaches you, he instantly assesses…

• What the audience sees
• What the audience hears
• What the audience feels
• What the audience senses

All of these non-verbal visual components are built into the presentation by a speaker who can present well.

On the flip, a speaker who can speak well, may come across as confident, but if they don’t have the advanced nuanced skills of the visual components in place too, their physiology may not be congruent with their message. The result is they won’t engage the audience.

The main difference between public speaking skills and high-level presentation training is that with the latter, the speaker will understand what their audience is thinking.

To really speak to the audience, you must answer the questions going on inside their head.

This is the key. David calls the audience’s thoughts ‘Stanley’.

Speak to the audience’s Stanley

Everyone has a Stanley. Stanley resides in your head. This is the voice of the audience that’s saying…

”something’s not quite right about what this person is saying, but I don’t know what it is.”

Have you ever been in an audience and the speaker isn’t resonating with you? You don’t know why, but the way they’re giving their presentation just doesn’t make sense?

Some reasons why a speaker’s message doesn’t land with the audience:-

• Their body language is incongruent with their message
• They may have made a point at the beginning, gone off-track, and not finished the loop. This leaves the audience hanging, as they want to know the ending.
• The information is too complex and doesn’t make sense
• There’s no SO WHAT? in the presentation It was spoken too fast, too slow, too loud, too soft….

As you can see, there are many reasons why speakers are unable to communicate clearly. To really get your message across so you influence and move your audience to action, you need a qualified, experienced presentation skills coach and mentor to identify the what and the why of the nuances of your presentation.
