Making Effective Presentations in a Multicultural Environment

Detailed analysis of what makes an effective presentation.  Aim: to be ready to make an excellent ‘off the cuff’ presentation to a group of visitors (or when abroad).

Making competent presentations to a variety of interest groups can be very challenging.

• Opening and closing, Q&A session
• Stress, Chunking, Trebling, Rhetorical Questions
• Audience expectations, content, length and style
• Listening habits
• Voice techniques
• Practice and feedback
• Visuals & techniques
• Language and delivery
• Detailed preparation for Question and Answer session (top 10 most difficult questions and how to handle them)
• Detailed practice and feedback on statements/mini-presentations
  

Cultural input – aim: to make sure the students are prepared to handle different attitudes, priorities and perspectives, that they can modify their message and style if necessary and that their message achieves the desired effect. E.g. how to motivate target cultures, how to empathise with them, decision-making, listening habits, communications patterns, etc.
