How to Build an Impactful Presentation Skills Training Program
Define Goals & Asses Current Skills
Define what goals you’re trying to achieve with your program first. Common goals for this type of training initiative could be to improve your managers and leaders’ ability to present business results, improve transparency within the company, increase team efficiency and speed up A/B testing and iteration. After you’ve defined your goals, use skills surveys to determine where your participating cohort stands as far as presentation and public speaking skills. This will help you determine what competencies to prioritize and how to customize the program to different job roles and skill levels. Check out this infographic to get more details on setting the right goals for your program.
Build a Curriculum
Using the data you gathered from the assessment surveys in step one, compile a list of the most foundational training topics you’d like everyone in the program to be trained in. Some common topics we’ve seen our customers public speaking training programs focus on throughout the years are:
- •How to structure an effective presentation
•Overcoming presentation nerves and stage fright
•How to maintain control of your presentation
•How to improve your presentations non-verbal’s
•How to inject humor into a presentation.
Tailor Your Training Content
After you’ve chosen the main topics and overall curriculum you want the participating cohort to follow, it’s crucial that you customize the learning materials to match the needs and competency levels of different employees according to what they do. A Learning Management System like BizLMS can match employees to the right content based on their job role, key competencies and learning interests with the help of AI features that automate this process. The effects of personalizing your training program will be shown in higher engagement and training completion rates, better knowledge retention and increased efficiencies throughout your organization. Read more about the best strategies to compile the best content for your training program in this article.
Evaluate & Adjust Your Program
Evaluating the progress and success of your training program will be one of the biggest contributing factors to its success. Make sure to gather feedback from participants and analyze metrics like competency improvement, increases in team efficiency, project completion times, and inter-departmental collaboration to quantify the impact of your program and uncover any shortcomings. The secret here is to evaluate and make improvements early and often – don’t wait more than 30 days to do your first evaluation.
