...you are blessed with the gift to understand complicated information. You are cursed with having to explain complicated information to people who don't "get it". And yet, if you are wanting to get the "go-ahead" from high-level decision makers, you need to be able to communicate such information clearly and effectively.

If you are wanting to:

1. •get a project or budget approved
   

2. •lead a meeting
   

3. •present your work to different departments so everyone is on the same page
   

4. •get the credit for doing good work
   

5. •stop getting blank stares from everyone in  the room
   

6. •present something new and ground breaking, and have everyone understand what you're talking about
   

7. •clearly communicate the benefits of your work
   

...then you need this workshop!

Overview:

During the first half of the workshop, the attendees will get an overview of presentation fundamentals. They will quickly learn what works and what doesn't. Some topics covered will included, but are not limited to:

1. •"Now I Get It!": How to un-complicate complicated information 
   

2. •A Call to Action that Works 
   

3. •Speaking Strategically: Getting the results you want

Professional Critique:

Next, the attendees will have the opportunity to give an quick presentation. Sharí will provide her professional critique.

Each attendee will learn from watching others and hear the feedback for each attendee. Sharí has a trained eye and ear for:

1. •Ineffective Body Language
   

2. •Finding the best stories and analogies to explain a point
   

3. •Improving the presenter's weaknesses and enhancing their strengths
