WELCOME TO THE NEW YEAR
We hope your holidays were wonderful, and you´re refreshed and charged to make 2006 a fantastic year. Our consulting, training and speaking resources are available to help you achieve your goals.
WHAT’S YOUR PEQ?
Presenters often wonder how they measure against other presenters. To help people gauge their own skills and get feedback, we´re conducting an on-line survey to benchmark people´s Presentation Excellence Quotient (PEQ). We will share the results of this benchmarking survey with participants. If you haven’t already completed it, you can by clicking here.
To become a more effective presenter, consider our Presentation Mastery ("Present Like a Pro") Corporate Training Programs, Public Workshops, and one-on-one coaching programs.

SUPER-MENTORING PROGRAM
Last year, members of our team developed a "Super-Mentoring" model to help companies with employee retention, leadership development and other HR initiatives. The program is ideally suited for small to midsize growth companies (or divisions of larger firms) who want to facilitate employees’ professional advancement and contribution to the firm. Mentors help Mentees define goals, strategize for achievement and hold them accountable to the commitments. The Supervising Mentor coaches the Mentors and keeps them on track.

 PRESENTATION TIPS
1. For impact, a presentation needs to motivate the audience to take action. This means you need to address the emotional issues (e.g., develop trust and overcome fears of switching to you) and the logical ones (e.g., benefits) which rationalize decision-making
2. Use stories, analogies & metaphors, so the audience can connect emotionally to the characters´ experiences as they reach the logical conclusion of the presentation.
