Baker Success Packages for Presentations Drive Skill Retention, Reinforcement and ROI

[includes/categories.html]

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.
