Venue: El Cielito Hotel (804 A. Arnaiz Ave, Makati, Metro Manila)
Course Description
Studies show that 55% of the impact of a presentation is
achieved through the visual elements, which include: the look and image projection of the speaker, the quality
of the presentation materials, the use of movement and
space. These elements provide the visual experience to
the audience, who in turn react positively or negatively to
the presentation. The balance 45% can be attributed to
the vocal and verbal elements. The interplay of these
visual, vocal, and verbal elements determines how
effective the presenter will be in driving the message.
This workshop will help the speakers in your organization
enhance their presentations by improving on the visual,
the vocal, and the verbal elements. The desired outcome
is for the speakers to deliver more informative,
memorable, and persuasive presentations.
The science aspect of the workshop refers to the data
from research that can guide us in developing effective
and memorable presentations.
The art aspect refers to the aesthetic principles that
enhance and magnify the message to make the
presentation a satisfying experience for your audience.
The workshop will include a discussion of theory and
principles. It will be interactive with a lot of opportunities
for learning, application, practice, and development of
new and current skills. The workshop will combine minilectures, group activities, practice sessions, evaluations,
and other experiential activities designed to transform
your employees into power presenters. By the end of the
workshop, the learners would have developed the
competence and the confidence to deliver powerful
presentations.
