Becoming an Authentically Persuasive Presenter

Would others call you a compelling communicator?

Does your message and the way you deliver it get the result you want?

Imagine your audience fully engaged, right with you, as you lead them to a logical conclusion, and inspire them to action.

Contrary to common opinion, getting an audience on your side, is not about wowing them with amazing technology and a lot of charisma. It has more to do with the kind of thinking that goes into your preparation. A well-structured message allows you to be authentic, confident and compelling speaker.

What will you learn to do?

Prepare a persuasive message, using BPG-developed templates that accelerate the process:

• build a clear picture of the target audience, getting into their shoes
• strategise content to relate to their needs and expectations
• use the Audience Thought Model™ to sequence content
• apply visual mapping stationery to organise thoughts
• pre-empt friendly and hostile questions

Deliver your content in a natural confident and conversational style:

• engage the positive attention of the audience
• use every facet of who you are to project credibility
• maintain control despite interruptions, distractions and objections

Interact naturally and comfortable with visuals, to tell the story
