(Virtual) Presentation Skills for Leaders
Virtual meetings and recorded videos are an integral part of workplace communications. Attention spans are shorter and interaction is more challenging. We need to effectively engage our audience, sharpen our message and speak confidently on-camera.
Mimi Bliss and Holly Conner lead interactive virtual workshops and 1:1 virtual presentation skills coaching with leaders across the country and around the globe. Virtual workshops and 1:1 coaching include how to:
speak on-camera, including effective use of gestures, voice and eye contact.
Present yourself as a leader with lighting, camera placement and background.
Engage your virtual audience with a concise message and intentional opportunities to engage in discussion
Encourage meaningful interaction by Using tech tools such as Polling, white board, breakout rooms, photos, embedded video and simplified PowerPoint
1:1 coaching focuses on each person’s individual objectives, whether you’re building skills for day-to-day business presentations, presenting to a board of directors, or recording an online video. We develop strong messaging and practice on-camera for immediate review and feedback, so you receive real-time coaching and see significant improvement.
Interactive and on-demand 60 or 90-minute workshops via Zoom Meeting or Microsoft Teams prepare your entire team to communicate effectively in virtual meetings and events. Mimi uses breakout rooms, video clips, polling and more to demonstrate how we can engage people in a meaningful way. She’s led this workshop for organizations in many sectors, including professional services, consumer products, sales, financial services, government, healthcare and nonprofit. Each workshop comes with a digital handout with speaking tips, a 5-week follow-up program so leaders can reinforce skills with teams, and access to Mimi’s video library of speaking tips.
“In an environment where we are all trying to keep from becoming a commodity, Mimi provides tools to allow you to differentiate yourself from the competition. ”
“Holly does a fabulous job at crisping up the message to deliver an impactful executive presentation. She makes taking your communication skills to the next level actionable and accessible. I cannot recommend working with her highly enough.”
“Mimi opened our team up to ideas on how to make their virtual meetings more relational. This was very important to us because we are in a relationship-driven business. I really appreciate the wisdom Mimi can bring to the “table.””
