What You Will Learn
…at a Business Presenter’s Workshop.
Our goal for each Business Presenter’s Workshop participant is to learn and apply the most current and effective information regarding business presentations.
You will learn to craft your story to your audience and apply presenting techniques that engages them. Through practice, feedback and repetition in the workshop, you will gain the confidence to go out into the business community and present with clarity and influence in a friendly conversational style of speaking. You will learn to do by doing.
How you deliver your message is as important as the message. When presenting to a group or to a single client, you are being judged consciously and even unconsciously on not only what you are saying but how you are saying it, your voice inflections, body language and your physical appearance. You only have one chance to make a first impression!
Business Presenter’s Workshops provide an overview and in-depth assessment of the information and skills needed to become an exceptional speaker. We break down the various components of a business presentation for a clear understanding of how and why each component is used. Each participant will learn to apply through deliberate practice to perfect each segment in the business presentation process. With focused concentration, participants will understand exactly what they’re doing, what is working, what isn’t and why. You will receive supportive feedback to help you improve.
Through group evaluation, we are able to help participants fine tune their message and presenting techniques. The number of hours one spends practicing a skill is far less important than receiving clear and frequent feedback against a known standard. The critical factor is using time wisely. It’s the skill of practice that makes perfect. You can only become an exceptional presenter by presenting, accepting feedback, making corrections where needed and presenting again.

“As a branch manager for iQ Credit Union’s Headquarters and Clark College locations, I do not boast a lot of free time. In a world of Blackberrys and Outlook reminders, there is no down time in consumer banking. I make it a point to attend the the Business Presenter’s Club every week, however, because it is the businessman’s gym. Gary Mack has masterfully crafted an environment where the focus is about learning, and men and women of any background feel safe to establish and perfect their speaking skills. With a balanced approach to the “why’s” and “how’s” of presenting, the Business Presenter’s Club honors the best-practices of renowned public speakers in a format that is intense but easy to follow. Attendees find it easy to engage with the course studies and have ample opportunity to apply this knowledge during every session. I would strongly recommend Gary Mack’s Business Presenter’s Club to anyone who is wanting to invest in the most important element in business. Comfortable and confident conversations about who you are and what you represent no matter the size of the audience.” Armand Stevens.opportunity to apply this knowledge during every session.
