Presenting 101
Become a powerful communicator every time you speak to any audience!
Learn the basics every good speaker should know.
You can learn to communicate the exact message you want.
Get your audiences to take the actions you desire, plus…
Your nervousness will melt away in the process.
Dear Colleague,
Would you like to advance your career, business or cause every single time you open your mouth? Never again will you hate giving a speech. You can stop worrying that you are boring your audiences or that no one will remember anything you say. Good presenting requires learning basic skills (it is no different than learning to write well or play golf skillfully).
Public speaking is the number one fear many people have. This fear causes them to behave in irrational, self-destructive ways. Most executives would never, in their wildest dreams, send out a new brochure to all of their clients without first writing several drafts, reviewing each one, spell checking it, editing it, getting feedback from colleagues, passing it by the legal department and finally placing it on a graphically designed logo or letterhead.
Yet these same executives will “wing it” when it comes to making presentations to important and sometimes large audiences. The results?
Disaster.
Even when the results are less than disastrous, the presentation is often boring, limp and less than memorable. This does not have to be your destiny.
There is no greater secret weapon in business than to know how to persuade people of your ideas and mission. This is what you will learn in the Presenting 101 PresentPro Talk System™.
Becoming a competent presenter is one of those things many people put off for another day—sort of like cleaning the garage or becoming a Black Belt. Sadly, this can have a deadly affect on your career—and you might not ever be made aware of it.
Rudy Giuliani, Bill Clinton, Lee Iacocca, Ronald Reagan—regardless of your politics or business, the one leadership trait that transcends all else is strong verbal communication skills. Now, you too, can learn the tricks of the masters.
Why else is it essential to become a proficient speaker? Frankly, it’s not that often that people get fired from their current jobs for being lousy speakers (though it does happen). The much more frequent problem is that people get passed over for promotions because they are poor or mediocre presenters and are viewed as lacking in “leadership” capabilities. Don’t let that happen to you.
As one client told me recently, “The difference between ending my career as a senior vice president of a company versus the CEO of my company is the difference between making a very nice income versus the equivalent of the gross national product of a small nation!” This person believed that his personal videotaped presentation training sessions became the deciding factor in being elevated to the CEO suite of a Fortune 500 company.
So why do you need to come to the PresentPro Talk System™ workshop? After all, there are thousands of books and videos on the subject of presenting in your local library, or you could join Toastmasters. Sadly, reading about how to give a better speech doesn’t work any better than reading about how to ride a bike. Giving speeches without instant video feedback often makes bad habits become more ingrained.
If you want to learn how to be a better presenter you have to present—but that’s not enough. You have to watch yourself on videotape, often second by second. With the help of your seminar leader and your other participants, you will get a precise accounting of what your strengths and weaknesses are, and, most important, step-by-step instructions on how to solve your specific problems. And you will do this repeatedly until you are satisfied with your speaking performance.
Your strengths and weaknesses are unique to you. I can’t use a cookie-cutter approach to solve your problems or tell you in advance that I have one size to fit all your weaknesses. What I can tell you is that your performance will be analyzed and probed and diagnosed in a way that is specific to you. That is the only way you can truly learn to improve.
This seminar is physically intensive. You will be tired by the time you go home. There will be no more than 12 of us together. This is not one of those seminars where hundreds of people are packed into a large convention hall and lectured to by an all-knowing guru. You will be on the center stage for much of the workshop. It will be exhausting, but well worth it.
Once you learn the basics of speaking, your body and mind will get more comfortable with the whole presenting process. Your tensions associated with upcoming presentation opportunities will gradually melt away. Over time, you will learn to actually enjoy every presentation opportunity. (That may sound like baloney now, but at some point you will objectively understand that you have become far better than the average presenter. This realization will make every speaking opportunity seem like an easy chance to shine).
I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
President

“Media Training Worldwide is flat out better than any other presentation training firm we have ever used. They get better results in one day of training than other training companies do in 2 day seminars. The bottom line is that Media Training Worldwide changes our executives for the better; when they leave a Media Training Worldwide workshop they speak with much more confidence and passion. TJ Walker has made radical and permanent positive transformations with many of our employees. I can’t imagine using any other presentation training firm.” Jim Miller, Amerada Hess
"My name is Michael Gallant and I am the director of public relations for EMC Corporation. We were fortunate to have TJ Walker in for a day of public relations and media training and I can tell you his approach was superb. He was able to help my entire team operate more efficiently (and) maximize their message penetration to their audience. I can tell you his pace was incredible, he was extremely articulate and he got the whole group involved. We really enjoyed the day." Michael Gallant, Director of Public Relations for EMC
“I put the skills learned in your seminar to excellent use. I was told by the producer that it was refreshing to work with someone who was comfortable in front of the camera and could get their message points out. So, kudos to you for training me! It was a wonderful experience. “ Roxanne Moster, UCLA
“I recently had an occasion to address a TV crew concerning the sale of our business being announced. I prepared my "three key points" and kept stating them repeatedly. I did several seconds of air time but was edited to only one key point. When the interview was completed the news reporter commented "you have done this before". Actually I had not, but the Worldwide Media training I received in
I was particularly pleased with the way Media Training Worldwide customized my training session. They previewed and critiqued my videos and the trainer covered many topics never addressed for me in previous training sessions with other companies. Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA,RD,CDN, Media Representative,
I spent two sessions with TJ, prior to beginning my book tour. The difference is amazing. I have never again used a card or notes or hidden behind a lectern. It’s as if TJ freed me to engage an audience with my entire personality…telling stories, getting to key points and really making an impact. Since then, I have given dozens of speeches and am now invited frequently for keynotes.
