MANTA PRESENTING SKILLS
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
We offer a series of different modules that cover all aspects of creating and delivering presentations, each of which have differing levels of complexity:
We work with clients, providing exceptional consulting services that are catered specifically to their needs. Take a look below at the services we offer and get in touch to achieve immediate results.
PRESENTATION STRUCTURING AND STORY LINING GUIDANCE
Since humans started communicating, we started telling stories. Good story-telling creates a connection between the presenter, the subject and the audience emotionally.
​
Creating this emotional connection has many benefits; it motivates the audience to listen more closely and creates a desire to learn more, it enables a clearer understanding and fuller recall of the key points and most importantly, it prompts the listener to take action or make a behavioural change.
​
Learning outcomes for this module include understanding why presentations work best as stories, the benefits of a well structured presentation, an introduction to pyramid principles and how to create story lined outputs.
​
PRESENTING/PRESENTER SKILLS COACHING
Why do we listen intently to some people and tune out from others? Why do we find ourselves mesmerised by speeches and bored by others? What makes delivery of speeches from people like Martin Luther King and Barack Obama so powerful?
​
Maya Angelou once said that people will forget what you said, forget what you did but they will never forget about how you made them feel. Great presenters have an ability to create a connection, an experience, a feeling.
​
Learning outcomes of this module include:
Feeling confident
Enjoying the presentation experience
Dealing with challenges
Having gravitas
Developing a style
Invoking action
Owning the room
Communicating with different audience types
Creating lasting impressions
Influencing people
IDEA CONCEPTUALISATION & MODELLING SUPPORT
Behavioural science tells us that there are hundreds of biases or heuristics at play for each of us all that can impact and so the intended message is rarely the one that it is received. The growth of data visualisation software illustrates the need audiences have to be communicated to clearly.
Great presentations often include an ability to show patterns and relationships between data, messages and ideas, bringing different types of messages and data together to form conclusions expressed as clearly as possible for maximum impact.
​
​
Learning outcomes of this module include understanding and using frameworks for expressing relationships between clusters of messages and data and presenting integrated and layered messaging
CREATING EXPERIENTIAL DELIVERIES
Think about the last time you went to the cinema, or to the theatre or to an exhibition and was left feeling awed; what was it that made it powerful? What made it feel special?
​
The vast majority of presentations tend to be lengthy, with a default to PowerPoint slides and tendencies to being cluttered. It is our belief that presentations can be elevated to be at a minimum cleaner, clearer and more impactful and at the other end, creating outstanding and enduring experiences for your audiences.
Learning outcomes of this module include:
Designing clean and simple presentations
Creating sensory productions
Laddering findings and ideas into benefits or the ‘so-what’
Using technology and resources to create outstanding experiences
Running virtual presentations and workshops
