The average attention span these days is around 8 seconds, which means it’s more important now than ever to engage the audience before their minds start to wander. 

Presentation skills range from how presentations are designed to how speakers articulate their words to maximize audience engagement. What’s shocking is that most schools and companies have never taught these critical skills. 

Our approach

Bill and Brian offer a unique perspective combining their experience in corporate sales, marketing and facilitating with their experience on-stage as comedians engaging audiences.

We first teach companies how to most effectively design their presentations to capture the audience’s attention and ensure the key message resonates. For this, we leverage digestible principles from psychology, public speaking, and world-class comedians.

We then focus on how to deliver presentations to maximize engagement: putting oneself in the appropriate mindset, leveraging verbal tactics, using humour effectively, and capturing attention through storytelling. 

We then discuss how to tailor the presentation - how do we ensure the message resonates to that audience? How can the presenter capitalize on what the audience has in common?

Our process

we partner with our clients to understand the presentations they deliver most often (e.g. sales, internal reporting, technical), to what audience, and a baseline of current skills. We then craft a customized curriculum around the strategies that will see the biggest gain. To ensure our guidance is practical and applicable, we will prepare specific recommendations for real-life scenarios and have participants bring actual presentations to improve upon.

Only Corporate Charisma offers the perspective from the office and the stage. Our techniques are fresh, novel, and practical and you won’t see them elsewhere. And finally, learners actually enjoy our workshops!
