Lead Happiness Consultant Dave Keeling has been on a quest to complete his ‘corporate slide trilogy’ (basically a company that has a slide through the middle of a building), and so was full of beans upon arriving at Nandos HQ to discover, right there before his very eyes, the slide that would complete his quest.
In fairness, that wasn’t the sole reason for Dave’s visit; he was actually there to deliver a presentation skills training day for employees from a range of areas.
The day was designed to remove some of the fears around presenting/facilitating and provide tips, tricks and techniques to equip the attendees with the skills to enjoy the prospect of delivering information to a room full of people.
The session explored in a variety of ways
- The psychology/neurology around fear and why it stops us from being brilliant
- What makes a great presenter
- The 4Ps of presenting
- The art of storytelling
- Comedygrams – how to use humour and create fun content
- The Proof Persuasion Model – to help construct a solid point of view
- How to frame content – to create curiosity and enable participation
- Expansive thinking – activities to encourage thinking and collaboration
- Reductive thinking – how to capture ideas and take action
The session was full of conversation, collaboration and playfulness, with participants leaving with a newfound confidence to present.
Dave shot off the slide like a rat down a drain pipe and went home a Peri Peri happy man.
