"The Henderson Group opened my eyes to communication skills. I had never understood how important they are in allowing me to demonstrate my technology to technical and non-technical audiences. I daily continue to grow in my communication skills because of the awareness they gave me."

Art of Technical Presentation:
Making Information Come to Life

The Art of Technical Presentation is designed for the unique needs and aptitudes of technical presenters, who are often more comfortable with conveying information in graphical and diagrammatic displays. Communicating complex technology to broader audiences requires the ability to wrap it in metaphor, prior experience and visual illustration.

Technical presenters are coached to find their own unique style for building rapport with audiences before getting to the data, handling technical and non-technical questions, and converting technology into customer-centric solutions. Through active participation using live product demonstrations, whiteboards and projection screens, participants identify their own presentation challenges, learn new skills and techniques, and then immediately experience applying them in front of an audience

The results of this work:

• Engagingly present technical ideas and information to customers
• Educate and persuade customers using personal experience and easily understood metaphors
• Effectively hold attention while communicating complex technical information to prospects and customers, as well as to more technical types
• Convey technology via team presentations with team efforts to move sales cycles and project plans forward

Specific Skills Mastered:

• Structuring presentations for broader audiences
