Making Technical Presentations
When it comes to marketing technical products and services,
one of the biggest problems is that of getting your message
across. Too often, the people in your company who really
understand the technical design and capabilities of the
product lack the presentation skills to promote the product
to a marketplace populated by laymen. That is why we have
developed our special, one-day Making Technical
Presentations course. This program will help your
representatives develop the skills they need to take complex
technical information and turn it into an exciting,
memorable, persuasive presentation.
Making Technical Presentations is a highly
interactive, practice-driven course. Students will learn all
of the basics of effective presentations, including posture,
tone, pace and pitch. However, this class also goes beyond
the basics to include some unique features. Special
attention is paid to improving communication through the
subtle channels of eye contact and body language. They will
also learn how to tailor the style of the presentation so
that it appeals to the key decision makers in the room.
Finally, students will receive personal coaching and
immediate feedback as they rehearse and deliver a series of
ten videotaped mini-presentations. Because students practice
skills as they learn them, they will walk away from the
course with a complete presentation program that is refined
and ready to deliver with maximum impact.
On-Site Presentation Training: can be tailored to the
needs of client organization and delivered on-site at time
and location of client choice.
Participants will learn to:
- Turn the most technical
presentation into one that is exciting and memorable.
- Make graphs, diagrams,
flow charts, and other technical materials easy to read
and understand.
- Enhance communication
with the audience through the effective use of eye
contact and body language.
- Prepare a presentation
using a simple but highly effective format.
- Maintain audience
interest in a technical presentation by incorporating
humor and personal touches.

attention within the first 60 seconds of the
presentation.

pitch of their voice to create enthusiasm and interest
in the audience.
- Use body language and
movement that is effective and not distracting to the
audience.
- Avoid using jargon that
distances them from non-technical experts.
- Direct Question & Answer
sessions to increase presentation impact.
- Use visual aides to
provide effective support for the presentation.
