Presenter Evolution has 4 independent workshops. Each workshop is from 1 to 3 hours and can be broken down into multiple increments as needed. The workshops each have a unique focus in the general topic of presentations and are extensions of Mike’s book Presenter Evolution published in 2020 and available on Amazon. If these workshops are taken in succession, attendees will have the skills needed to become expert presenters – a skill that will increase their value dramatically.

1. Presenter Skills

Presenting is one of the most feared events by the human race, over being burned by fire and sometimes even death. This workshop is designed to help participants gain insight on how to control and leverage their nerves, prepare with purpose and connect with their audience both large and small. A results-oriented workshop for beginners or seasoned professionals delivering practical techniques that can be put to use instantly to make presenting easier and more impactful for their audience.

2. Cadence and Planning

Presentations that fail are usually a product of poor planning. Current planning techniques are usually tools adapted from other disciplines like writing a paper. Presentations that are well planned go beyond the information. They are designed to achieve a designated outcome and engage the emotions of the audience. This workshop is for people that are planning their own presentations or developing them for others. 

3. Connecting with the audience

In this workshop, attendees will learn why emotions play a vital role in presentations. They’ll also discover the power of a story and how it engages the “7-year-old” in their audience. Also, they’ll get custom tools to help them identifying and cultivating their stories. This workshop is for presenters that want to connect with their audience at a much deeper level – generating greater impact. 

4. Pitching Cage Event

The ‘Pitching Cage Event’ is a live event where the participants will build a maximum of 10 slides in a 5 minute presentation. Each participant will deliver it to the group and they will be videotaped. Each presentation will be evaluated and a scoring sheet with feedback will be give to each person as well as a link to their video for reference. This event is for people that want to improve their presentation skills with personal coaching feedback.
