Your (prospective) clients pay you for leadership in ideas. They want proof positive that you add value to their business by being as knowledgeable about their markets as they are and by bringing an expert's perspective to the table.

Successful presentations are your way of selling your big ideas by igniting a fire for your recommendations in your client's hearts and minds. That's why it's a continuous challenge for business professionals to give convincing presentations that involve, inspire and motivate.

That challenge increases dramatically when you are called upon to present in a foreign language!

Presentation Warrior: Presenting Successfully in English enables you to transition more smoothly from your native language into English when you present. It provides you with the support you need to improve and polish your language skills, thereby increasing your self-confidence while presenting. It also focuses you on intercultural sensitivities that can be invisible stumbling blocks when you are presenting to an international audience.

As a part of the Authentic Presentation Personality™ workshop series, Presentation Warrior: Presenting Successfully in English honors the fact that:

• YOU are your most important instrument when it comes to giving a successful presentation
• YOU have to feel at home in your own skin - no matter what language you are speaking - when you stand in the presentation spotlight
• YOU have to know what you are talking about and be aware of the needs and desires of your audience to successfully sell your ideas

That's why Presentation Warrior: Presenting Successfully in English emphasizes establishing a real-life presentation atmosphere ('from seat to seat') enhanced by

• Guided before/after self-observation and self-analysis
• 360° feedback
• 1-on-1 coaching to improve performance - immediately
• Individualized practice tips to sustainably support long-term self-mastery

Presentation Warrior: Presenting Successfully in English is right for you if you :

• Are a board member, managing director, department/group head or supervisor
• Have an 'intermediate' to 'very good' command of (business) English (CEF levels B1/B2 or C1/C2)
• Work in marketing, advertising, product/brand management, public relations, purchasing or key account management
• Give internal or external presentations in English on a regular basis (or soon will!)
• Are eager to improve your linguistic abilities; e.g.
  • Pronunciation
  • Fluidity
  • Vocabulary (incl. useful expressions)
  • Typical translation mistakes
• Want to become a better overall presenter by further developing your unique communication style

The Presentation Warrior: Presenting Successfully in English workshop is limited to no more than six participants, and individually designed to address the specific needs of the participants. It not only reviews the basics; e.g.:

• Setting the stage for success
• Giving your message structure
• Finding a catching introduction
• Telling your audience where you plan to take them
• Establishing consensus and defining action in your conclusion

but also includes relevant aspects of the following topics as needed/desired:

• "Shaping the Feedback Environment"
• "Recognizing Common Behavioral Patterns, Key Motivations and Needs of your Audience"
