An email to Syd Strike following a presentation skills training course Syd had delivered:

"While working on the exhibition stand two people approached the stand to say they really enjoyed my presentation at a recent conference a week or so earlier. They said it was the most impactful they had seen while at the conference. Furthermore they went on to say they should be doing more business with my company, which is really great news for us.

So once again thank you for your support and guidance during the training days, as it seems to be really paying off!”

Powerful Presentations are POWERFUL because they get results. Of course delivering amazing presentations involves preparation, great content and powerful delivery. However Syd has been delivering presentations and delivering presentation skills training for many years and he believes that as well all of the preparation what really makes the difference is coaching, feedback and the ability to end with and amazing ‘sell’ ... so often lacking in presentations.

To summarise a powerful presentation ...

• Be clear about what you want your presentation to achieve
• Know your audience and what will engage your audience
• Learn how to prepare your content
• Weave your message right through your presentation
• Get feedback from a coach, trainer or a trusted and honest critic
• Practice and improve
• Start with a BANG and End with a SELL

Here is just one technique to make sure you make an impact at any meeting

Use the powerful presentations principle

Use the ‘meetings success formula’ below in every meeting ... never sit back or just be a responder ... make your meeting contribution dynamic

• Tell people what you and/or your department have achieved
• Tell the meeting members you plan, goals, targets for the next period
• Tell them how they can help you achieve (emphasising how it is for the benefit of all)
• Follow up with individuals after the meeting - make things happen

To enquire about practical and engaging meeting skills training email reply ‘Meetings’

By definition a dynamic training session is a session that is ‘characterized by constant change, activity, or progress’ and according to Oxford Languages is a force that stimulates change or progress within a system or process.

How do you find training courses you attend, whether face to face, remote or E learning? Do they fit the descriptions above?

That’s what we do at Syd Strike Training ... and our Train the Train courses, programmes and coaching can help your trainers become ‘dynamic’ trainers. We talk about the ‘Crazy Trainer’.

Really this is the dynamic trainer whose delivery, style, and results are ‘definitely different’ ‘crazy’ in the most positive way and ‘dynamic’
