Presenting with Influence
21905VIC Course In NLP for Presenting with Influence
A nationally accredited course in Advance Presentation Skills

The Presenting with Influence program offers presentation skills including organisation, communication, design, delivery and influencing, enhancing the individual's ability to present successfully to achieve specific business and personal outcomes.

Becoming a high-performance manager takes high-performance presenting

Presenting with Influence is a five-day training seminar for presenters, trainers, managers and consultants who are ready to take their personal effectiveness to the next level, as well as for up and coming new presenters. By applying Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, the seminar coaches people in developing their presentation skills for any context.

The principles have been proven across all kinds of professions. And it has government accreditation. The 21905VIC Course in NLP for Presenting with Influence is an Australian Nationally Recognised Training course. The Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority has given its accreditation under the Australian Qualifications Framework. So naturally, it conforms to the same high standard of quality in design and delivery you'd find at an Australian university. Participants can be confident of fairness in assessment and rigour in training. This workshop is available in-house for companies or as a public seminar.

Commercial in Confidence

With Presenting with Influence, you can discuss business and personal goals for your presentations without disclosing sensitive information. Trainers will:

• Identify leverage points for change from your language and presentation
• Invite you to think differently and develop your own solutions
• Identify thought processes that have been limiting you and help you create better options for achieving your goals.

Presenting with Influence provides the thinking tools for solving problems and managing goals in presentation design, delivery and conduct. The course applies the communication models of Neuro-Linguistic Programming to produce measurable results, in your presentations, whatever your field. Unlike the common presentation models, it does not require you to divulge highly personal or commercially sensitive information, nor to learn formulaic rules for presenters. This way presenter training can be offered at executive level in business and government as well as to entertainers, professional speakers and teachers.

Seminar topics for Presenting with Influence

1. Designing and sequencing your presentation

Every presentation has a beginning, a body and an end, and the quality of uptake depends on the order and sequence of your material. When you identify what has to be covered before a topic can be offered, you can include it in the framing and present your material progressively so your topic will be well received and understood. With design skills drawn from the Cognitive Load Theory of learning and the TOTE model of progress to a goal, you will probably be asked to design presentations for others, as well as your own.

2. Changing stage fright into fluent confidence

An essential skill for presenters is to manage your own psychological and emotional states and you can learn to do this. Having the choice and ability to use sense memory to re-experience any useful state can support you significantly in solving problems and fulfilling your outcome. You will learn an NLP process that enables you to have full access to the states that will be most productive for you. Examples include confidence, enthusiasm, commitment and motivation.

3. Getting on with your audience

The ability to lead and work with others easily is crucial to successful management. While powerful, rapport with people is often seen as something that either comes naturally or doesn't, the facts are otherwise. Rapport involves a number of specific processes that participants will learn early in Presenting with Influence.

4. Framing your topic

Audiences appreciate understanding the purpose and direction of a presentation. When you give them direction, you can influence their thinking about your topic and assist their learning. To lead people, it helps to be able to give them the mind states they need to get the most from your delivery.

5. Walking your talk

People think with their senses and it shows.  When you use matching voice qualities, gestures and movements that go with what you are saying, your presentation becomes very engaging. When you mark out specific subjects so the audience can see and hear your markers, you can create associations to link topics and enhance

6. Giving instructions

In the same way that a presentation works best when offered in a thought friendly sequence, so instructions need to be clear, concise and progressive, without extraneous material or ambiguity. You can engage your audience in discovery activities and pre-frame discussion for afterwards to optimise learning.

7. Getting leverage through informal groups in the audience

Great communicators and presenters 'read' other people's non-verbal communication. The ability to know when someone believes what they are saying can make a world of difference when managing performance. To achieve this you will learn to follow patterns in your audience's responses.

8. Turning disruptive elements into teaching points

If you act as if it takes two to tango, and then get the intention for disruptive behaviour, you can respond with dignity while deciding how to proceed. Potentially relevant comments can be reframed as teaching points and others can be diverted for later discussion. Your intention is to remain in command, in rapport and on track.

You will learn to:

• Engage and hold your audience’s attention
• Create meaningful and enlightening metaphors to help your audience understand 
• Frame your topic concisely and place it in context
• Demonstrate what you are presenting
• Give effective instructions for activities and emergencies
• Use your space effectively for additional influence
• Identify and engage informal leaders in the audience
• Arrange your topic for optimal uptake
