Communication is the Currency of Success
This module lays the groundwork for what you will be learning in this course by making the case for why your communication and presentation skills are so important.
It’s All about Them: Your Audience
To be effective and have influence, you first need to understand what audiences need and what their experience is when they listen to a speaker. It is no small coincidence that this is the longest video of the course – the ability to be empathetic and connect with your audience is critical!
Breaking It Down
Modularity helps you prepare and deliver a presentation. It begins with three key questions. From there, you can formulate your modular elements. In this module, we will begin to break it down so we can build it back up later.
Setting Context and Expectations with a Focal Point
Learning to formulate and use a focal point is a presentation game-changer. With it, you quickly grab your audience’s attention and focus. Without it, audiences are not sure where you are taking them and what might be expected of them. Use your win to win!
Big Fish and Little Fish
The hallmark of a great presenter is someone who can separate out messages from information. Messages are main points. Information supports those points. This concept is the secret sauce for building understanding and retention among audiences.
Putting It Back Together
So, how do all of these elements come together? We took apart the “parts of a speech” and we identified them. Now we need to put it all back together, modular piece by modular piece.
Finishing Touches
There are some finishing touches that will help make your presentation flow and shine with the polish you want to showcase as a professional.
Course Wrap-Up
In addition to your own aha! moments, there are some final thoughts and takeaways we want you to have.
