Among all the skills that are rated
as highly valuable for professionals to
possess, none is valued above being able
to communicate persuasively with
customers, stakeholders, team members
and senior executives. It is almost
always true that during critical
interactions with these audiences, “the
messenger becomes the message.” In other
words, the credibility and effectiveness
of the information will be determined by
how it is delivered more than what is
delivered. Because there is so much
riding on these presentations, companies
are constantly on the look-out for
training options that will help their
professional team members maximize their
skill at organizing and delivering
persuasive messages. The challenge is to
find training that will be worth the
investment of time and money.
The rule of thumb across the training
and skill improvement industry is that
the best you can expect from a training
event is that participants will retain
at best 20% of what they learned. This
doesn’t mean there is necessarily
anything wrong with the training. No
matter how effective the training
curriculum might be, without a clear
plan for retention and reinforcement,
most training participants will
gradually gravitate back to the way they
were doing things before they attended
the workshop. That is why we have
developed our proprietary Balanced
Performance Improvement (BPI) program
that rolls Performance Training,
Performance Coaching, and Disciplined
Execution into several powerful Success
Package options to help professional
team members develop “muscle memory”
that will help them achieve long-lasting
success in developing and delivering
persuasive messages.
These success packages are targeted to
address every presentation skill gap
professionals often struggle with,
including how to quickly gain and hold
the audience’s attention, how to project
confidence and credibility by learning
how to control body language, vocal
style and distracting mannerisms, and
how to successfully navigate Q and A and
handle objections. The great news is
that since Baker Success Packages are
deployed using a multi-platform delivery
model that combines classroom, virtual,
and self-guided modules, we can
configure a Presentation Training
Success Package for you to fit any
budget and accommodate any delivery
schedule.
