INFLUENCE: A Robust Presentation Skills Masterclass

As a leader, you know your team must present with clarity, confidence, and conviction.

You know they need to quickly and confidently gain and keep decision-makers’ attention on new ideas, programs, and products.

And you know that many in your group could be much more effective on stage and on camera.

But you’re unsure about where to start, or what to do differently.

Let’s change that.

INFLUENCE is the interactive, practical, and fun (yes, fun!) masterclass that gives teams newfound abilities to gain followers and promotions. Participants learn proven ways to lessen stress, feel calmer, and become more confident at every turn.

In this in-person, six-hour session, you’ll cultivate a cadre of more seasoned presenters. And fast-track their success every time they speak…whether to 10 on Zoom, or to 1,000 in a hotel ballroom.

Guided by presentations expert Loala McCann, we’ll explore how to:

  • Increase confidence and lessen anxiety

  • Boost audience engagement—by dialoging with vs. talking at 

  • Apply a strategic content-development framework that lessens data dumping, and puts audiences’ needs at the center—so presenters build buy-in and influence

  • Inspire audiences to act on content that’s concise, clear, and compelling

  • Design professional, cohesive visuals that enhance core messages

  • Improve body language, voice, posture, and facial expressions

  • Use proven story-building [AD1] techniques that improve engagement, retention, and calls to action

  • Hone messaging for a wide range of applications, including for elevator pitches that amplify awareness for important initiatives

  • Effectively and succinctly take Q&A.

Length: 6 hours + a lunch break

BONUSES for every participant:

  • The opportunity to practice together in a warm and welcoming environment, and immediately start activating new skill sets. So, everyone returns to work with clear and persuasive core messages for future presentations.

  • A copy of Find your Red Thread: Make your Big Ideas Irresistible by Tamsen Webster. The book contains some of the tools and techniques we’ll use in this workshop.

Two format options:

  • 6-hour interactive team experience for up to 12 participants 

  • 6-hour interactive team experience for up to 12 participants PLUS—for every participant—a private, one-hour post-workshop coaching session with Loala.

Our team needed to be more confident and consistent in how we engage and move audiences to action. So, I invited Loala McCann to present INFLUENCE: A Robust Presentation Skills Masterclass. Loala taught us a clear and precise framework—including an easy-to-remember acronym to make learning easier. I also liked how we presented to our peers, and that these segments were video recorded. Now we can reflect on this footage as a team, as we continue to evolve our presentation skills…and as we improve how we speak to various audiences. We also now understand the importance of methodical practice, discipline, and coherent messaging. Bottom line? I expect our company to generate a 3x increase in revenue as we build a community of leaders who use clear messaging to communicate our vision and mission.
