The word “lead” means to go before. So, as you go before your team, your family, your community, ask yourself:
what kind of world are we trying to create? What results do we want?
When you’re creating your vision, you have to get other people to stand up for it. You have to influence them. But influence has components – building trust and credibility, gaining buy-in, fostering an environment of collaboration, dealing creatively with differences, learning to value diversity. These are skills we can learn, skills we can improve.
They call these “soft skills” because they’re difficult to measure but, when they’re missing, you notice. We need to have conversations. We need to know what to talk about. We need these skills – influence, persuasion, conflict management, empathetic listening.
Fear can cause us to disconnect from who we are, the content we’re presenting or the audience we’re presenting to. Our presentation skills training will help you reconnect with your deepest confidence.
We create a safe, welcoming environment in which each participant makes five presentations over the course of two days. All presentations are critiqued by the instructor and videotaped for playback and discussion.
