Corporate Communication International
CONFERENCE ON CORPORATE
COMMUNICATION 2013

Pre-Conference Workshop
Create Engaging Slice Presentations

Workshop Description

The purpose of this workshop is to understand and apply the elements necessary to create and deliver an engaging slide presentation. The ability to communicate data is a specialized communication skill. The communication strategy for using data is not just about deciding what content needs to be transferred. More importantly, it is about deciding what strategy will allow the audience to understand, remember, and have the ability to apply the information. In this workshop, we will focus not just on delivery but also on how to use strategic communication to develop messages, so they are memorable and useful (not just a "data dump.”)

Workshop Objectives

At the end of the workshop, participants will:

  • Distinguish the key elements of what makes successful vs. unsuccessful messages
  • Understand the importance of and develop the skills needed to chunk information, determine a governing message and ensure that the message is relevant to the specific audience
  • Compare and contrast the persuasive vs. narrative structures of speeches, so that even in short time frames the key points of the governing message are delivered
  • Understand and practice techniques to help bridge what the learner already knows to the new information being received
  • Learn the three V's (visual, vocal and verbal) and how they impact the audiences' perception of your presentation
  • Determine what characteristics of a speaker add to or detract from the quality of their presentation
