Create your Best Ever Presentation

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”center” font_size=”20″ font_color=”%23333″ font_spacing=”2″ font_shadow=”none” bottom_padding=”15″]Impress your audience with an engaging presentation and
position yourself as a credible and confident expert[/text_block]

You’ve been invited to speak …

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]It could be at a conference, meeting or other event. It’s a chance to share your message.

You want it to be the best presentation you’ve ever delivered. You want to nail it!

But you’ve got limited planning time – it’s not like you can take a week off to prepare your presentation. You’ve got to squeeze your planning time between all your other commitments. And progress is slow or maybe you’re feeling stuck.[/text_block]

THE 3 PLACES WHERE MOST PRESENTERS GET STUCK

— SPACER —

— SPACER —

The Procrastination Pitfall

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]Some presenters feel so overwhelmed by the enormity of the task of planning their presentation that they put if off. Then they end up in a mad panic trying to get it done at the last minute.[/text_block]
— SPACER —

— SPACER —

Presenter’s Block

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]Some presenters try to get started right away, but get stuck at the first hurdle – they don’t where to start. Or they start with planning the beginning of their presentation, but get stuck because it’s difficult to plan the beginning when they don’t know what comes next.[/text_block]

The Brainstorm Trap

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]Some presenters have no problem getting started and generate heaps of material, but then get stuck trying to sort through all their material and getting it into a logical order. They end up spinning their wheels, with no clear direction and no end in sight.[/text_block]

From stuck to success

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]It doesn’t have to be this way.

There is a system that will guide you to prepare an effective and engaging presentation.

That will breakdown the whole process into easy action steps that you can complete one at a time and feel a sense of accomplishment as you tick them off.

That will show you exactly what to do first, and then lead you by the hand from one step to the next.

And a system that won’t have you generate heaps of information that you won’t ever use. You’ll only create the content you need, and no more.

Hi, we’re Olivia Mitchell and Tony Burns

— SPACER —

It took us six months to plan our first major conference presentation

— SPACER —

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” bottom_padding=”0″ bottom_margin=”0″]We were determined to deliver the best presentation of the conference.

We had heaps of ideas, but we had no planning system and so we struggled to get all our ideas and information in order. Over the months our speech started to take shape and we refined and fine-tuned it week by week.[/text_block]

How that Presentation Led to the Creation of a Planning System

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]We nailed that presentation! But after our elation died down, we reflected on the huge amount of time and effort that we had put into that presentation.

2 years later, we started our presentation training company. We didn’t want our clients to go through the same struggle as we had.

We scoured our library of presentation books and combined that book learning with our own speaking experience to create a thorough 13-step process that we called the SpeakerMap™.[/text_block]

But then, the Police Challenged Us

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]We were engaged to run a series of courses for the NZ Police, and they told us they wanted to learn how to deliver briefings – short, to the point presentations.

We realised that a 13-step process wouldn’t cut it. So we deleted out any step or sub-step that wasn’t absolutely necessary. It worked brilliantly and the Police loved it.

And then it dawned on us – this new streamlined SpeakerMap™ would work for all our clients.[/text_block]

Our Clients Love the SpeakerMap™

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]Over the last 18 years, our company has trained thousands of our clients to use the SpeakerMap™.

The SpeakerMap™ is a streamlined tool to help presenters create highly engaging and persuasive presentations as rapidly as possible.

Until now the SpeakerMap™ has only been available to people who can come to our live events…[/text_block]

HOW IT WORKS

Online Program versus a Live Course?

[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”undefined” align=”left”]You may be wondering whether an online program can work as well as a live course. It’s a great question. We’ve run face to face courses for 18 years and we were skeptical about online learning too. But we’ve now done enough online learning courses ourselves to know that online learning can work. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. And we’ve taken online courses in how to design engaging and effective online courses!

We’ve designed this program carefully so that you get the support and feedback you need. We’ve made sure we provide the material in a variety of formats so that you can digest the material in a way that suits you. And of course the pluses of online learning are that you can take part from wherever you are in the world and in a way that works easily with your schedule.[/text_block][/op_liveeditor_element]
