Presentation Skills - DTN Productions International

DTN Program Highlights:
Presentation Skills that Deliver Results!
Methodology: This program is a combination of lecture, workshop, interactive exercises and videotaping on iPads for immediate self-observation and critiques plus one on one coaching.

General Content Sessions: The nuts and bolts of becoming an effective presenter is covered first prior to the customized “practice” sessions. The General Content sessions range from 4-8 hours based upon selected content.

Customized Content Sessions: The participants will be given customized assignments to “practice.” This could be either a full or half-day program based upon the number of people attending per department – ideally session size is 5-10 participants. The Customized Content sessions will focus on the participants’ presentation needs for their specific type of client and team interaction.

Workbooks: A customized workbook for use during and post-session(s) is provided to each participant.

Coaching Reinforcement: Coaching will be provided for each participant during the session. Additionally, post-workshop coaching can be provided one on one for each participant of the presentations skills session.
