10 Tips For Total Immersion In Presentation Skills Training
How can you
get the most out of presentation skills training? Take a total immersion
approach. Discover the 10 most important ways to get all the benefits of
targeted training without leaving your home.
For years,
professionals have relied on their organizations to provide presentation
skills training. Unfortunately, with education costs cut, training
budgets slashed, and corporations on the look out for doing more with less, all
that’s changed.
What is the
best way to get exceptional results, without waiting for your company to put
presentation skills training back on the calendar?
Use these 10
tips to create a fully engaging learning experience—from your home, office, or
even on the road.
Online
presentation training is energizing and motivating. Here are 10 tips for
creating a total immersion experience for learning critical presentation
skills.
1.
Create
Your Learning Room
Organize your
learning room at home, office or from your hotel room. Wherever you are, set
the zone for maximum focus. Turn off the television. Turn on fun music if you
like learning with music. Set a time aside where you will not be interrupted.
This is your room…and your time to learn.
2.
Do
It Your Way
Learning is
the most fun when it matches you. If you love watching video, watch video
tutorials first. If you like reading, jump into the training guides and
manuals. If you prefer to use blueprints, start there. Do things your way.
You’re in charge of your own learning experience.
3.
Honor
Your Time
Learning new
skills is important. Consider this time as sacred and valuable. Make an appointment
with yourself and keep it. Just like a solid commitment to show up to a formal
class, keep your time free of other distractions or obligations.
4.
Enjoy
Wins
Try out your
new skills right away. One of the most
fun and rewarding parts of learning presentation skills online is that you can
use what you learn. Use new tips right away. Try out a technique—even if it is
the weekend. Present an idea to a friend. Try out a new tip with your
neighbors. In a short time, you’ll see that it’s fun and very rewarding to use
new skills right away.
5.
Keep
A Journal
In
interviewing professional presenters, one of the most common practices of
experts is keeping a journal. Well, you don’t have to wait until you have been
presenting for years. Start today.
Record what you
are learning. Track what you are experimenting with. Write down ideas,
inspirations and special quotes. In no time, you’ll have a valuable resource to
use whenever you need to brush up your skills.
6.
Connect
To Real World
Experts who
create online presentation
trainings want you to learn real-world skills. If you were sitting side by side
with your trainer, they would show you how to connect skills to real world
events. But since you are learning remotely, you need to make these linkages.
A quick way to
do this is to list your key projects in advance. As you learn new skills and
techniques, review your list. Where could you practice a new skill? Keep asking
this question and you’ll make important connections that solve real-world
problems.
7.
Score
Yourself
It’s fun to
score your skills. Use self-scoring quizzes to keep your energy up. Test
yourself at different times such as before and after an important presentation.
You’ll discover that your skills grow rapidly…just by keeping the questions top
of mind.
8.
Follow
Your Own Pace
When you’re in
a classroom or workshop, you have to go at the pace of the instructor or other
students. But when you’re in a virtual class, you set the pace. This is one of
the top reasons why people learn faster, learn more, and have more fun learning
remotely.
There’s
nothing and no one holding you back.
9.
Use
Your Intuition
In addition to
going at your own pace, you also are free to choose. Start anywhere. Go
anywhere next. Use your intuition. Focus on areas that are most important to
you.
Some people
like to start at the beginning and go logically from a to z. Others prefer to
jump around and get an overview first. It’s entirely up to you. Use your
intuition and enjoy the freedom of being in charge of your own curriculum.
10.
Stretch
Your Skills
For total
immersion, keep testing your own limits. Are you testing and challenging
yourself? Are you learning new skills and applying them to ever-increasing
challenges? Stretch yourself and enjoy the rewards.
Use these 10
tips to create a total immersion experience with online presentation skills training
online. It’s the fastest way to discover how presentation skills can boost your
career.

niche forum categories
- I think Kevin just touched on the point that I was going make... and that is developing 'categories' that stick. Sales and Marketing may be too broad for example. However I can almost guarantee you that you would see many more sign-ups if you tailored a category to 'internet marketing' for newbies. I've seen this work on other forums, however, [i:1i903wkn]it can get a little frantic[/i:1i903wkn]...
Fine tuning the categories, or expanding the scope should be effective. I think a lot of IM folks are surfing right on by because they're not finding what they're looking for here...
Just a few thoughts:
Better Blogging
Developing Info Products
Internet Marketing
Presentation Skills
More How to's
Another point is... a lot of people don't know that they can benefit from participating in forums. The signature links to their site - if they have one - can / should be motivation enough to get more involved. The more internet savvy members that have signatures seem to stick around more... Don't you think?
Business Tips
- How about:
Tips for managers to handle employees more effectively?
Tips on how to deal with difficult customers?
Tips on how to deal more effectively with suppliers?
The only three I have in mind right now, but will try to come up with something else.

Re: How many nationalities are on the forum?
- Hey, Kev:
I call myself Canadian ... but I can't speak French! :-[
My oldest granddaughter just started Play School (I think that's what they call it) and she is enrolled in the French Immersion class. That is great! I think it is valuable to be able to speak more than one language, and I think it also helps to stretch the mind and exercise the brain.
