Making Remote Presentations

Overview

This half-day workshop is an opportunity to learn the skills of delivering a message to a remote audience. This can be challenging, because the feedback you get from the audience’s body language when delivering when ‘face to face’, is largely absent in the virtual setting. That means you have to take additional steps to build engagement and monitor the audience’s reactions.

The training covers the ‘classic presentation techniques’ of: good design, making a positive impression and use of visual aids, but also includes methods for thriving in the virtual world. The event is ‘coaching’ based and the live practice sessions quickly help to build the capability to be in control of the ‘room’ while making a lively, engaging remote presentation.

The training consists of:

1. An E-learning Module that people do as pre-work. (This is in the form of a pdf file that takes around 20-30 minutes to complete.)
2. A four-hour-long, live Zoom Workshop, (with a 30-minute break halfway through) where we briefly review the theory covered in the pre-work and then carry out a series of role plays and case studies.

Learning objectives

By attending this highly interactive remote course you will:

• Understand how to make a good ‘virtual’ impression
• Making friends with the camera
• Connecting with people in the remote environment
• Acquire strategies for engaging with a remote audience
• Learn how to use visual aids effectively

Who should attend?

This course is for anyone who wants to improve their ability to make a remote presentation.

Customisation

This programme is delivered in a remote format.

Where appropriate, we conduct interviews and facilitate focus groups to gather information with which to write bespoke case studies that precisely reflect the culture and work environment of the participants.

Feedback

Feedback is based upon peer reviews using Boulden Assessment Checklists. Completing the Boulden Assessment Checklists is not only valuable to the people involved in a given case study, it also helps those completing them to gain an in-depth understanding of skills used by excellent Remote Managers.

Follow up Coaching Support (Practise makes perfect)

The workshop can be followed by a 3/4-month-long group coaching activity (using the Action Learning Philosophy). This involves delegates trying out the skills from the workshop in real life situations and getting support and guidance from their peers and the consultant as they do so. If this option is selected there is a Closure Workshop at the end of the coaching phase where delegates present how they have applied the techniques learned on the course into their daily work routine (using the Most Significant Change methodology).

Remote Training

All of our workshops can be delivered as Remote Training via e-learning modules plus Zoom based virtual workshops. Please see our Virtual Training page for more information.
