Exceptional Openings Workshop  

It is a cliché, but it is no less true that you only get one chance to make a first impression. This principle is doubly important when it comes to formal presentations. Whether you are delivering a sales presentation to an important client, an internal corporate presentation to senior management, or a 15-minute speech to the Rotary Club about
a local community clean up project, the type of opening you deliver will either grab your audience’s attention and keep them on the edge of their seats – or not.

Our two-hour Exceptional Openings presentation training workshop is a quick, handy primer on what to do and what not to do during those critical first five minutes of your presentation. Our experienced presentation professionals will lead you through a proven strategy for constructing and delivering an opening sequence that will draw your audience in and have them ready to hear more. This highly interactive presentation training class features a series of video-taped training exercises so you can see yourself in action and make adjustments in real time to improve your presentation effectiveness.

On-Site Training: can be tailored to the needs of client organization and delivered on-site at time and location of client choice.
