Presentation skills training is delivered according to the client’s need in a variety of customized formats:

Two-Day Course
Delivered on your site for up to 6 persons.

Includes multiple videotaping exercises with feedback, skill-building exercises, plus one-on-one guidance and coaching.

Two-Day Course—Technically Speaking: Presentation Skills for Engineers and Tech Experts
Very similar to the two-day course described above, but crafted specifically for special needs of technical professionals. Delivered on your site for up to 6 persons. This course helps your engineers and tech experts prepare and deliver clearer, more persuasive presentations to technical (and non-technical) clients, sales prospects, and internal audiences. Includes multiple videotaping exercises with feedback, skill-building exercises, plus one-on-one guidance and coaching. 

Half-Day Mini-Course
Delivered on your site for up to 7 persons. This three-hour session is ideal for a select group of associates and leaders who need a quick shot of presentation skill training. The course can serve as a refresher/reminder for seasoned presenters or an introductory overview for the less experienced. Videotaping with instant feedback is included, and Deborah will provide a written evaluation for each student so further training can be sought where appropriate.

One-on-One Training/Consulting
Deborah can meet with your executive at your site or at headquarters in Birmingham. Individual needs are assessed and skills developed accordingly. Ideal for sharpening skills of intermediate and advance level presenters. Schedule and session lengths are flexible.

DVD Training Course
Produced at a live training session, the DVD course TECHNICALLY SPEAKING: PRESENTATION SKILLS FOR ENGINEERS & TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS is a compressed version of the Two-Day Course TECHNICALLY SPEAKING and provides CEUs through Auburn’s Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. Take a look at a demo of the program.

    • Identify the key components of a powerful presentation.
    • Understand the value of utilizing stories and analogies in a technical presentation.
    • Explain the physiological and perceptual factors involved in producing a strong and interesting speaking voice.
    • List the specific tools required for communicating specific information to virtually any audience.
    • Utilize a three-step process for handling questions from the audience.
