Communication is easy, right? Everyone communicates every day. You speak on the phone, in meetings and in presentations. As you become more senior in your organisation, you are asked to deliver more presentations, which are more significant and to bigger audiences. Communication is easy – right?
Wrong! Bad communication is the single biggest block to career progression and effective leadership. If you can't get your message across with clarity, brevity and impact – chances are you will simply not be a good leader.
The reality is that communication is often viewed as a 'soft skill'. A semi-important skill everyone assumes they have and spend little time improving. Yet, why is it that top leaders and heads of industry can communicate effectively on demand, every time? Simple answer – they have been trained to!
The Complete Presenter™ brings together the core of Indigo's presentation skills workshops in one skilfully woven event. This intensive presentation and communication masterclass combines the Think on Your Feet® and The Skilled Presenter™ workshops, so you can confidently tackle formal and informal communication, whether face-to-face or online.
We do this by interlinking the different techniques to provide one complete, total solution where delegates learn, practise and reinforce these vital communication skills as they apply them through a range of practical exercises.
“Really good and practical and can be immediately implemented.” UK Financial Services
The skills developed enable delegates to use structured thinking and clear language when communicating, both informally and formally:
▪ Respond confidently and concisely in all formal, informal and ad-hoc situations, especially when caught on-the-spot or under pressure!
▪ Buy yourself time when you don't know the answer or need more time to think about it.
▪ Explain complex ideas and handle tough questions by condensing your thoughts, simplifying information and avoiding listener and information overload.
▪ Think on Your Feet® is the only workshop that trains you to analyse, organise and present your ideas – fast!
▪ Craft content and position your ideas.
▪ Overcome stress, field questions and maintain control.
▪ Learn the most powerful forms of persuasion to achieve impact.
▪ Practise your presentation skills in a safe environment by delivering stand-up presentations – receiving feedback from the instructor and other participants.
By focusing on an individual’s ability to think quickly and clearly, Think on Your Feet® dramatically improves oral communication skills. It changes the way people communicate by:
ADDRESSING AN ESSENTIAL SKILL
In moments, sometimes seconds, you have to analyse, organise and present your ideas clearly and memorably – thinking before you speak. This is the only workshop that trains you to hone these skills, so you can –
▪ Effectively discuss and defend your position, without conflict or aggression.
▪ Get your message across the first time, every time.
Learn the 10 core communication structures, helping you to –
▪ Quickly decide which messages are essential and present them persuasively (even when under extreme time pressure!)
▪ Package information for easier comprehension (particularly useful when communicating technical information to a nontechnical audience).
▪ Position arguments and manage your listeners.
▪ Move your audience through images, analogies and storytelling.
MASTERING THE ART OF 'OFF-THE-CUFF'
True mastery comes with the ability to answer questions onthe-spot, clearly explain complicated ideas and be persuasive when you have little or no time to prepare.
▪ Instantly selecting the best structure for each situation.
▪ Learning how to focus a discussion in order to achieve Clarity, Brevity and Impact®.
The Skilled Presenter™ workshop examines how to deliver a perfect presentation. We focus on how listeners perceive the speaker and introduce reliable techniques that professional speakers use to prepare and deliver presentations. Participants deliver stand-up presentations – receiving feedback from the instructor and other participants.
The workshop focuses on three key areas of presenting:
ENGAGING YOUR AUDIENCE
▪ Field questions with confidence.
▪ Understand and address listeners' needs.
▪ Involve your audience and keep their interest with captivating focus group techniques.
CRAFTING YOUR CONTENT
▪ Anticipate audience concerns with our proprietary ‘7 Questions Game™’ .

▪ Learn the dos and don’ts of effective and appropriate visual aids.
PERFORMING WITH IMPACT

▪ Support your message with the right body language, eye contact and voice projection.
▪ Know what to do when your technology fails.
This masterclass is ideal for anyone who presents to small groups, large audiences, or to the press and media. You will receive plenty of practice and hear evaluations about your delivery from our instructor and other participants.
Public workshops are the best method for training individuals and small groups. Delivered online and across the UK, they provide a great opportunity for different companies and individuals to come together and learn the tools.
In-house workshops are the ideal opportunity to train teams and whole departments within your organisation. Providing clarity of training focus and excellent team building opportunities.
