Presentation Skills Training

Your success depends less on how well educated or how talented you are and more on how effectively you can communicate your ideas and present yourself.

Present well and you’ll do well. Through Kathy McAfee’s presentation training workshops, coaching, and materials, hundreds of business executives and community leaders have discovered new tools and gained insights to advance their careers and organizations.

90% of Communication Skills Often Overlooked

Here’s just one example. Three of every four people have some form of glossophobia (speech anxiety or fear of public speaking). Kathy’s presentation training workshops enable people to speak with confidence, conviction, skill, and persuasion. Participants free themselves from technical crutches (like the dreaded PowerPoint) and craft messages that engage their audience and produce results. With Kathy you can learn to master the 90% of communication skills that are often overlooked by most presenters–your body language and vocal delivery.

Get More out of Your Next Presentation

What’s your next presentation worth to you?

“After 12+ years in public accounting at a Big Four firm, my promotion to partner depended on a successful partner pitch to firm executives. In this high stakes situation, Kathy’s supportive coaching gave me the tools and confidence to deliver a clear and compelling message that helped me earn the promotion!”  – Patrick D.

We’re always making an impression, be it good or bad. The impression you make with your next presentation may affect you in one or more critical ways:

• Advance your career
• Get buy-in on a key decision
• Make a sale that will make you more successful
• Earn a new business relationship that will help you prosper
• Increase your influence and recognition
• Boost your confidence
• Have more fun at work!

Your Presentation Success Depends on Answering These Questions

Delivering Proven Results

“Your program is unlike any presentation training program that I ever have taken in my 25 year sales career. You delivered proven results – the kind that really matter…The outcome of your dynamic coaching program for me can be measured in dollars and a whole lot of sense.”

—Joe Vasile, Vice President of Sales (retired), USA ALSTOM Power Inc.

Kathy teaches business professionals and executive leaders to always start with a clean sheet and answer key questions before creating a single presentation slide:

1. What outcome do you want or need from your presentation?
2. What’s the most important message you must impart?
3. Who is your audience and what’s most important to them?
4. What creative ways can you use to bring your message to life and move your audience to action without boring them senseless with an obese PowerPoint?
5. How will you know if you’ve been successful?

How You’ll Benefit

Imagine how successful you and your presentations will be when you can:

• Feel totally confident without having to hide behind the podium or a huge PowerPoint deck
• See yourself as a powerful presenter able to influence and motivate audiences of all kinds
• Know you can deliver key messages with power, clarity, and impact
• Increase your value to your organization and bring in more profitable results
• Earn greater work responsibilities, desirable assignments, and lucrative promotions
