Technical Presentation Skills For IT Staff: Banish Boring, Invite Innovation

Technical Presentation Skills

The ability to present information to a group is a key skill of any IT worker. So why do we have such a hard time doing it well? How many presentations have you sat though that at the end, you couldn’t have told anyone what you were just told?

Time is precious resource that none of us have enough of. Having an IT staff that is able to quickly and efficiently present information that everyone can use does amazing things for both individual and department productivity. Things as small as learning not to use PowerPoint slides as an outline for your presentation can dramatically improve the impact of technical presentations.

This program from Blue Elephant Consulting provides IT staff with the real-world tools that they can start to use immediately. We deal with the big issues (how to organize your presentation for maximum impact and retention) as well as the small ones (just what are you supposed to do with your hands while you are talking?.
