Richard Pascoe – The Versatile Presenter – Escape Your Presenting Groove
We each have a natural way to communicate: our “presenting groove”. However, this groove becomes a rut we cannot escape from. And we must escape our groove, because we need to be able to deliver very different business presentations in different business scenarios.
Richard has been called the “Guru Grandfather of presentation skills training” and has business clients around the world. He is the co-author of “The Versatile Presenter”, the Amazon best-seller. He teaches business leaders to flex between different presenting styles, from Caregiver to Magician to Explorer.
In this talk, Richard challenges you to break-out of your presenting groove and to master twelve distinct presenter styles.
You will begin to master twelve different styles of presenting:
- How to set the objective of your presentation framed in the response you need from your audience.
- How to select best style of presenter to be, based on your intent, your audience, and your content.
- Inspiration on how it can flavour all facets of your presentation.
The event includes updates on the Global Speaking Summit, a business session, member introductions, and a dinner break, all designed to help you speak more confidently and connect more effectively.
