Many managers are realizing that for the best results they need to be surrounded by brilliant people. But where do we find these paragons? One answer is to train, cultivate and develop them yourself. This practical manual discusses how to manage effective training which will make your life easier but is not elaborate, costly or time-consuming. It features guidance, hints, tricks and common sense, and is presented in a lively style.
This handbook helps the reader to prepare a well-targeted script with striking visuals, and to fine-tune their performance so that you can face an audience with confidence. It discusses: researching the audience to understand their needs; structuring the presentation to establish rapport, maintain interest and end with impact; assembling ideas into a logical, persuasive sequence and transcribing key points onto overheads and prompt cards; rehearsing delivery, projecting your voice and controlling nerves; and using question time to reinforce your message.
