Again, and again, clients want our Charisma Key or Creativity Key modules because their presentations lack sparkle, their presenters seem dry or scared and because no-one can remember a thing that was said a few hours later. At a weekly meeting or a conference, that's a shame. In a pitch, that's a disaster.

The Cake Factor was designed specifically for presentations, to address the issue that a presentation is a bad mode for communicating data, but an excellent mode for telling a story. By arranging the information you want to convey like a story and not like a list of facts, you can hold your audience spellbound.

We are now offering an all-in-one presentations package, suitable for a group of 4-10 to take over a whole day.

The day begins with a short presentation (with or without PowerPoint) from each participant, so that skills can be assessed and problems can be diagnosed.

Next, some exercises from Creativity Key are employed to get the group into a happy, lively, creative state, as well as teaching them tools they can use in other creative situations.

An accelerated version of The Cake Factor delivers the key learnings about story structures, and participants are given the chance to rewrite the morning's presentations with those ideas in mind.

After lunch, it's the Charisma Key and we go to work tackling the anxieties that people feel standing in front of a roomful of people, and developing an impactful, dynamic, passionate, sincere and authoritative mode of behaviour.

Along the way we also look at other fundamental aspects of business presenations, such as

• What goes in the presentation and what goes in the handout?
• Do I really need all these slides?
• How to have eye-contact with an audience of 1200
• Dealing with awkward questions
• The matter of props and furniture
• What does this audience want to hear?

The session culminates with a repeat performance of the morning's presentations, now rendered imaginative and narrative-oriented, delivered with verve and with brio, bringing home the speaker's message clearly, appropriately and entertainingly.

A confidence shot in the arm, filled with practical advice, and real hands-on experience, the Presentations Package is a must for anyone presenting anything to anyone.
