VISION FOR BUSINESS PRESENTATIONS














Motivate learners to become more qualified for Business Presentations
by following the CTM standards from both Toastmasters International and the University of Calgary's Teaching & Learning Centre.
From Portny's Project Management, "Choose one or two skills you may want to begin using...Unfortunately, experience shows that making numerous changes in your work methods all at once only increases the chances that NONE of them will "stick." Use the new skill until it's second nature to you. Then choose one or two more new skills and repeat the process."
Begin each day with an impromptu "warm up" question, and have each learner to stand up and provide a 60 second verbal answer to the entire group.

IMPORTANT: Encourage learners to create highly interactive "experiential" business presentations, because when more people from the audience participate, there will be an 80% increase in the chances that they will...
  • recall your material
  • be convinced that your business proposal works
  • go ahead with accepting your business proposal
