Presentation Skills: Developing a Strong Command of the Room
This special session will provide the skills to develop more confidence, energy and persuasiveness at the front of the room – whether remote or in-person.
First, leveraging principles from storytelling and management consulting firms, you will learn how to craft presentation decks that are clear, focused and persuasive. This forms the focus for what needs to be communicated.
Then, building on this base, we’ll outline a core set of skills that will improve your ability to engage, excite and persuade clients. In fact, you’ll learn about your natural presentation type and how you can easily add more range.
Importantly, those who are naturally quieter will learn how to have a stronger presence – particularly when teams often include more dominant people.
This live training session will be provided in a format that is lively, fun and practical for real-world agency situations.
Training Materials
Following the session, you will be provided with 2 weeks of recording access.
Who Should Attend
This session is designed for all those on account and pitch teams who are “front of the room” with clients — whether remote or in-person.
Instructors
Brent Hodgins
Mirren | Managing Director
Brent Hodgins is the Managing Director at Mirren, a firm that specializes in organic growth and new business training for agencies in digital, PR, advertising, media, experiential and more. Each year, more than 900 agencies now participate in Mirren’s annual conference, training programs and webinars (www.mirren.com). Their team has now trained CEOs and their senior management teams in every major region around the world.
Brent is highly competitive as he rallies his agency clients to build the infrastructure necessary for consistent growth – applying methods that are far more innovative and efficient. He believes that growing an agency is not about throwing more money at it. Rather, it’s how you organize the resources you already have in place. He can also be heard encouraging agency teams to stop submissively bowing down to their clients. “As soon as you put the client up on a pedestal, you lower your position in their mind. It’s a downward spiral from there. If you bring a high level of expertise to the table, then take a stand and command the respect you deserve as a peer.”
His approach to converting organic growth and new business is down to a science – strategic and methodical – but often contrarian. Too many agencies are using the same old dated methods. And, often with no consistency whatsoever. If no one breaks from this sea of sameness, nothing will change.
Brent began his career in account management at Leo Burnett, where he worked on Kellogg’s, Johnson & Johnson and McDonald’s. Later at TBWA\Chiat\Day he launched their digital group in New York, before moving into new business at Wieden + Kennedy.
After 10 years in New York, Mirren moved its offices to Seattle. Brent resides in the Ballard area with his wife and son.
