1. Sound Sense for Sound Presentations 1-2 day training
Sharpen your skills to become a more dynamic presenter in this fast-paced and interactive training! Discover ways to improve through: effective use of emotion and brain-researched techniques to accomplish audience rapport; awareness of the “do’s and don’t’s” of hand-outs; enhanced presentations through effective break strategies; increased participant retention through embedded rehearsal, novelty, and energizers. This training will make a difference!

In delivery of the training, the presenter will model every technique and skill taught in this workshop, thereby insuring the participants the opportunity to gain content and skill in the above aforementioned areas. The participants will “live” the techniques, and have regular opportunity, through interaction and role-playing, to gain the skills. After all, we have a retention rate of approximately 90% when we say and do something ourselves!

Continual acquisition of content knowledge is definitely relevant to the field of staff development. Professionals involved in training, however, can only impart knowledge and skills through effective communication. No matter how important our message, or how necessary a skill or concept is in staff development, without proper delivery the impact can be lost. We need more than a “payload” of information; we need a top-notch delivery system. This presentation will go far in “producing the next generation of staff development leaders, while “engaging principals in experiences that develop their capacity to nurture learning communities.” Honing presentation skills does help teachers (and others) prepare for a leadership role in staff development, thereby empowering education professionals and encouraging our educational institutions to embed “...staff development on the job.” Through the development of presentation skills, the expertise and knowledge of all professionals can be shared, and the concept of a learning community can permeate our schools. Learning is life long and all-encompassing; we must enable our experts to take a leadership role in it.
