Develop a “Commanding Presence” and take your effectiveness to new heights with our innovative interactive virtual workshops.

This workshop is NOT a one-way webcast.  This workshop is coach-led, interactive, and live in every sense of the word. It simulates the in-person Commanding Presence Two-Day Workshop with exercises, practice, prepared presentations to the group, and receiving constructive insights and feedback from the workshop coach and the other participants.

With only a small number (8 maximum) of participants, you receive expert personal coaching, plenty of exercises, virtual breakout sessions in groups of 2 or 3, and most importantly multiple opportunities to present to the group for more coaching and feedback.

In addition to all the units from the in-person, Two-Day Workshop, we will also cover how to present and communicate effectively in webinars and online meetings.

What are the Major Takeaways of the Online Communication Skills Training Course?

Two of our most popular units during the workshop are the FOCUS! Method and Connecting with Your Audience.

For subject experts and leaders there is a lot of pressure in choosing what to say, how much to say, and how to begin and how to end to ensure your message is effective, understood, and retained. That is why we created the FOCUS! Method which factors in the limitations of people’s short-term memory. We can cause people to rehearse, replay, or have strong images connected to our messages that transfer the message from working memory to longer-term memory. Thereby removing the “stickiness” of your messages and presentations.

The FOCUS! Method also provides a way for both introverts and extroverts to essentially “say less, and say it better”. It is a way to take complex thoughts and ideas and quickly and effectively present them in a way that is designed to be heard, retained, and persuasive. Participants will get a chance to create their own Focus Method presentations using current topics or issues and practice presenting them to other participants. We will record the presentations and provide coaching.

The Connecting With Your Audience unit will help the participants to understand the behavioural cues of when your message is being received when to slow down, and when you need to clarify your message. Participants will also learn how to speak effectively from notes and text while using a conversational style of speaking that will help to imprint their message. Participants will practice this method with each other while receiving expert coaching. We will record each participant presenting using this method.

During the communication skills training, we will also cover: managing anxiety while speaking, controlling the room while presenting, preparing to speak, preparing your voice, and how to analyze your audience.
