Context

In your early career you present almost exclusively to colleagues or to your functional management. You sure will have developed a successful way for doing so.

For presenting to senior management you will need a different way of working because your audience will have less in-depth knowledge of your subject and because it takes more parameters into account than content expertise.

Objectives

At the end of this one day program, the participants will:

• Know models that allow them to deliver this kind of presentations successfully
• Have the ability to match their presentation build-up to the decision making style of the key people in their audience
• Have a better understanding of the reactions of a senior management committee and the skills to deal with them
• Be able to use strategies to prepare mentally to demanding presentations

Training design

The program is built around 4 elements:

• Input on senior management expectations for presentations and ways to structure and design this type of presentations
• Application of models and techniques to an existing presentation of the participant
• Feedback from a senior Janssen manager, fellow participants and the trainer
• Strategies for mental preparation

Target group

This training is not an introduction to presentation skills. It is designed for experienced managers and professionals who present regularly to senior managers with a diverse functional background.

The maximum group size is 10 participants.
