Presenting to Executives Training

Presenting to executives and senior decision makers, whether virtually or in person, is a pivotal point in your career. The stakes are high, the rules are unclear and the pressure is on. This course is your ticket to build your skills and confidence, and Own the Boardroom.

This training, delivered both virtually and in person, was created from extensive conversations with CEOs and their executive teams. They told us exactly how presenters should prepare, present and engage executives. They also shared their personal pet peeves and must-haves when watching presentations (wait till you hear what they think about slides!)

For example, execs consistently complained about three things:

1. Too much information

2. There’s no link to corporate objectives

3. Speakers can’t answer tough questions

This course helps you come truly prepared for the type of dialogue, push-back and interactions you will encounter when presenting to executives.

This course will teach you how to prepare for and execute presenting to executives, both in person and virtually. You’ll learn the difference between these and peer-level talks. You’ll practice handling difficult situations that arise when your audience is impatient, pressed for time and juggling multiple priorities. Most of all, you’ll learn what to say–and what not to say–to help executives make the best decisions.

Learn to:

• Consistently build clear, concise and targeted presentations

• Prepare the right level of detail for every audience

• Create visual aids appropriate for senior executives (hint: much shorter than for your peers)

• Field tough questions, handle distractions and facilitate discussions while maintaining poise

• Reduce nervousness and anxiety

• Use body language, voice and eye contact (or camera contact if virtual) for maximum engagement

• Read the room–both physical and virtual

• Influence

More than any other audience, the key to success when presenting to executives is preparation, and we will show you how.
