Persuasive and Impactful Business Communication

One of the obstacles that we face as resilience professionals is securing internal support from senior leadership. As planners, “selling” isn’t always in our wheelhouse, but it’s a skill that we all need to gain backing for our most ambitious resilience projects. If you’re looking to polish your next big pitch, or if you simply want to become a more impactful and persuasive communicator, this workshop is for you.

BRMA’s own Membership Director, Steve Eberlein, is a TEDx alum and professional speaker. In the course of delivering more the 200 live and virtual presentations, including to leadership teams of name brand companies, he’s seen everything go wrong, and has learned to do it right. He has developed a three-part workshop exclusively for BRMA members.

Part 1: Prepping Your Pitch
Steve will take you through the fundamentals of preparing an effective presentation. Par1 of the workplace will cover:
•The two things that you need to know about your audience
•How to deliver a noteless presentation
•Effective vs. awful use of PowerPoint
•Choosing the scope of your pitch –what’s too much, what’s too little
•Winning the day with Q&A
•Special tips for virtual presentations

Part 2: Rehearsal
It’s as trite as it is true that practice makes perfect. Practice before a friendly audience is the best practice of all. The second part of our workshop will present an opportunity to deliver your presentation before others in the Speakers Workshop cohort and receive candid, supportive feedback. Your session will be recorded and shared back to you with notes so that you can make the tweaks needed to nail your pitch.

Part 3: Take the Stage
Our BRMA monthly membership meeting is a great opportunity to take your newly learned skills primetime. While wholly optional, BRMA wants to hear from its members and for its members to benefit from one another’s expertise. We will give you any amount of support you need to get you over the finish line!
