Introducing the Presentation Coaching Skills Toolkit!


Communication Resources is pleased to announce the publication of our 
Presentation Coaching Skills Toolkit!
  

The Coaching Skills Toolkit
Because those of us who coach teams to winning presentations tend to be busy people, we’ve kept the toolkit short, easy to read, and straightforward to use when preparing for interviews. It contains clear cards outlining strategies and tactics that follow the logic of the interview preparation process:


Alignment:  Steps for conducting research necessary to understand the project and the client as part of the overall win strategy

Strategy:  Tips and tactics for selecting and coaching team members through the development of clear, memorable content

Choreography:  Design strategies to make teams come across as cohesive and approachable, using staging and visuals to communicate enthusiasm

Rehearsal:  Tested techniques for getting even the most challenging team ready to interview with purpose and passion

In this easy-to-digest format, the toolkit passes on 20+ years of knowledge about how to create winning interviews – faster. These are the same tools that have helped teams win smaller fisheries projects and enormous replacement hospitals. We’ve included a broad range of tactics that work for even the most challenging team - from different ways to organize content to strategies for rehearsals and using notes.

Far from “reinventing the wheel” for each interview, this toolkit should help internal coaches and their teams use a logical approach to guide interview preparation and presentation. This process results in more creative, more persuasive, and more differentiating content. And, it helps speakers rapidly gain comfort in the process, enabling them to speak with passion and conviction in the real interview.

From the most well-known museums in the country to smaller local projects, these tools work, resulting in higher hit rates for our clients and strategic wins on important projects.

Check out the toolkit on our website at www.communication-resources.com.  We had fun writing it; we hope you’ll have success using the tools with your teams!
