Meetings, negotiations, presentations and all communications with external and internal clients have become remote. However, what once worked for us live can play a cruel joke with us online. It's time not only to adapt to the new reality, but also to learn how to get the most out of it. How do you break through the wall of inattention? How to make a serious presentation into something interesting? How do you speak vividly about “boring” topics when the audience can't be seen or heard? How do you answer uncomfortable questions in a chat or livestream? The goal of this training is to start making more effective presentations online: waste less time, get more feedback and enjoy each speech.

Are you in the middle of important negotiations? Are you leading a project, and getting attacked with questions? Asking an investor for money? Are you meeting a disgruntled business partner? About to be chewed out by your boss? Speaking at an important meeting? All these situations are #SpeakingUnderFire. Be prepared for “difficult” questions and provocative comments! It takes a stressful situation to make it clear who is worth what. Therefore, it's worth learning how to answer typical objections in advance. As a result of the training you will learn how to: • prepare for any meeting so that not one difficult question will upset you • quickly determine the type of question being asked and how to respond to it • significantly increase the speed and quality of your answers • manage your communication in front of a negative audience • speak confidently with a VIP audience (bosses, customers, partners, investors) • overcome typical objections, resistance, and skepticism

How to make serious presentations more engaging? How to speak more vividly, and get the desired reaction on the spot? The goal of this training is to help speakers make more spectacular, yet no less compelling, presentations, when time is short and the stakes are high. As a result of this training, the participants will be able to: Look at themselves from the outside and determine their strengths and weaknesses Learn how to follow the effective step-by-step preparation guidelines Choose their style and line of argument depending on their audience Establish contact with the audience within the first 30 seconds and hold it until the end of the presentation Control their body language: movements, posture and gestures Handle the “difficult” questions from the audience effectively Use visual aids professionally Make their presentations lively and fun
