How to Present to Senior Executives

Nancy Duarte

Cut to the chase. Keep their attention.

Senior executives are one of the toughest crowds you’ll face as a presenter. They’re incredibly impatient because their schedules are jam-packed — and they have to make lots of high-stakes decisions , often with little time to weigh options. So they won’t sit still for a long presentation with a big reveal at the end. They’ll just interrupt you before you finish your shtick.

ND Nancy Duarte is a best-selling author with thirty years of CEO-ing under her belt. She’s driven her firm, Duarte, Inc., to be the global leader behind some of the most influential messages and visuals in business and culture. Duarte, Inc., is the largest design firm in Silicon Valley, as well as one of the top woman-owned businesses in the area. Nancy has written six best-selling books, four have won awards, and her new book, DataStory: Explain Data and Inspire Action Through Story , is available now.

How is throughline group different, not all public speaking courses are created equal..

Throughline’s highly customized in-person and live online executive presentation training workshops distinguish us in a crowded field of public speaking firms.

We tailor our training to the unique challenges that executives face.

For high-profile individuals, executives, and other c-suite inhabitants, effective corporate presentation skills do more than just make you look good. They allow you to make persuasive presentations to the board to contextualize Q1 earnings, to the public via interviews on cable news, and to anxious shareholders assembled in a conference room.

We’ve become trusted advisors to hundreds of executives for whom we’ve delivered highly relevant trainings. Our approach focuses on achieving immediate results in limited time. With coaches trained in conducting extensive and personalized research in advance of each training, Throughline can tailor sessions that lead to instantaneous results and long-term improvement.

We’re committed to delivering the best executive presentation skills training in the industry, focused squarely on your specific challenges and goals, whether that is in-person or virtually. You’ll experience the same great expertise from our highly experienced trainers whether you opt for the flexibility, convenience, and real-time instruction of remote live online instruction – with workshops specifically designed for the online learning environment – or in-person sessions.

As one client told us, we don’t just create great speakers; we foster profound transformations.

Before your executive presentation skills workshop, we’ll review your previous and upcoming speeches, PowerPoint presentations, and other presentation material. We’ll delve into your industry and area of expertise, so that we can tailor an approach that fits you and your professional needs.

Our executive presentation training goes well beyond the “one and done” mentality. We offer one of the most generous free post-training programs in the industry, which includes:

10 in-depth clients-only special reports
A one-on-one follow up consultation with your trainer before your next presentation

Executive Presentation Skills Coaching for C-suite Officers

Hone your presentation skills to create persuasive presentations with powerpoint.

The power of the visual is well-known to effective presenters , who see PowerPoint as an enormously valuable tool. The right visuals – displayed the right way – can make your messages stickier. They get to the heart of how your audience records, remembers, and retrieves information.

So, how do you bring the verbal and visual together to have maximum effect?

Communicating effectively as a speaker means learning how to help your audience see and hear what you have to say simultaneously. In other words, you must employ strategies and techniques that reduce the chances your audience is being forced to split its attention. During our workshops, we work to develop the most effective ways to combine your words with your visuals to create layers of meaning that stir emotions, make connections, and drive people to action.

We do that through helping you to:

Avoid information overload on each slide
Develop an enduring conceptual metaphor with the proper images
Trim your presentation down to the essentials
Be clear and concise in your design
Create charts and graphs that inform rather than confuse

Through video recordings of your practice sessions, you will receive immediate feedback on which visual aids, teamed with your words and actions, best reinforce your main points and engage your audience.

These are not cookie-cutter, prescriptive strategies. During your executive PowerPoint presentation training, we work with you to implement what you have learned, so that it addresses your specific goals and presentation style.

HOW ARE OUR EXECUTIVE PRESENTATION TRAINING PROGRAMS DIFFERENT?

We conduct deep research into your organization..

If there’s one thing clients have told us more than anything else, it’s how surprised they were by the amount of research we conducted before each presentation training. Before your customized workshop, we’ll review your previous and upcoming speeches, PowerPoint presentations, outlines, notes, and video clips. We’ll also learn more about your organization, the audiences you face, and the challenges you encounter when discussing your work.

We are industry leaders.

Our first book, The Media Training Bible , was an Amazon #1 Public Relations best seller. Our second book, 101 Ways to Open a Speech , was a Kindle #1 Public Speaking best seller. We’ve trained tens of thousands of people for the world’s biggest stages — and have earned the repeat business of many loyal clients who were thrilled with their results.

We know how to teach.

Knowing how to deliver a successful presentation isn't enough. It's far more important to be able to transfer our corporate training presentation tips to our trainees in a manner that enables them to act on them immediately. We’re rooted in theory but deliver practical advice. We've regularly refined our teaching methodology since 2004 and have created a fast-paced, fun, and highly effective workshop that has been delivered successfully hundreds of times. For instance, have your presentations increasingly gone remote? We'll help you to face the challenges — and embrace the possibilities — of video conferencing and live streaming.

We root our recommendations in research.

We regularly hear stories from trainees who were instructed by a previous trainer to do something that didn't have any basis in research. As a result, the trainees were trying to communicate in an unnatural manner that went against their instincts — and that didn't work for their audiences. Wherever possible, our advice is based in research, not subjective opinion.

What CEO Presentation Methods Will I Learn?

Deliver a presentation that gets results.

During your interactive presentation training, you will learn how to:

Sharpen the story you want to tell
Structure and outline your talk
Speak from a script, notes, outline, or memory
Identify your “bright shiny object” and “ABSO”
Align your talk with your audience’s goals
Increase the effectiveness of your persuasion attempts
Grab the audience with a powerful opening
Break the pattern to retain or regain audience interest
Balance broad themes with compelling details
Use stories and statistics to reinforce your messages
Issue a closing call-to-action that gets results
Facilitate productive question and answer sessions
Answer challenging questions
Create the right “feedback loops” through effective body language
Model best practices for gesture, posture, voice, and movement
Deliver a speech with contagious energy
Manage public speaking anxiety
Design more effective visuals
Use (not abuse) PowerPoint
Interact with your PowerPoint slides and notes
Avoid the “eye-ear” conflict
…and more, modified to achieve your specific goals

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"I consider them an extension of our senior management team." We’ve worked with the Throughline team for more than a decade, and I attribute the dramatic rise in the quality of our presentations and media relations directly to their guidance. I continue to rely on them for their invaluable perspective on both the style and substance of my most essential communications and consider them an extension of our senior management team.

DURING YOUR EXECUTIVE PRESENTATION TRAINING

Our proven teaching methodology, which has been delivered successfully hundreds of times since 2004, features a diverse mix of relevant activities designed to help participants grow their skill set meaningfully — often dramatically — right away. During our presentation training for executives, we will help you learn through:

Practice presentations

You will deliver several practice presentations throughout the workshop. After each round, you’ll receive specific feedback on your message, delivery, and audience interaction. We’ll videotape your practice talks and review key excerpts with you — and you’ll get to keep your videos.

Challenging questions

We’ll ask you the questions that fair but skeptical audience members might ask — and empower you with strong answers that win over audiences.

Communication, facilitation, targeted learning, powerspeaking blog: tips and strategies for crafting presentations, how to present to senior executives [23 proven strategies].

by Carrie Beckstrom Jun 4, 2021 10:45:46 AM

If you’re preparing to make a pitch to senior executives, you can throw most of what you’ve learned about making presentations in the trash.

Why? Because this is an entirely different audience. An executive presentation is not about inspiring and persuading, but is instead about presenting meaningful data to top decision-makers as quickly and concisely as possible. As a matter of fact, you should start with your bottom line (what you need from them). And work your way from there.

As a company that lives and breathes communication, we are dedicated to transforming your organization's communication skills, so you can watch people succeed at engaging and influencing others, achieving results, and driving business to new heights.

And today, we are going to reveal our favorite tips for a powerful executive presentation to decision-making leaders to help you get your point across efficiently, earn your audience’s attention, and know when and how to go in for the "ask."

So if you want more success from your business presentations, then you'll love this list of tips, techniques, and strategies.

Tip 23 Conclude with a quick summary and resolve any noteworthy issues before your final ask

Let's dive right in.

Before you try to deliver your next presentation to executives, keep this in mind...

Most people fail with their first attempt to wow the top executives for one simple reason:

C-level executives demand an entirely different approach from presenters than does a general business audience. SVP of Strategy and Business Development at Workato , Markus Zirn says,

“You have to throw out everything you learned from traditional presentation training. It’s not about making a speech that educates, persuades, inspires, or leads. It’s about raw decision-making.”

With that little caveat out of the way, it’s time for our first strategy…

Understand the Executive Mindset

Executives are impatient, bottom-line-focused leaders who don't care about the minutiae of your project or expertise. They want you to get to the point, step away from your slide deck, and be ready for a dynamic dialogue.

During your presentation, they might multitask and switch topics quickly, make calculations in their heads at lightning speed, and they may be challenging when analyzing data. Be ready for this.

Understanding the executive's mindset as you are going in for the pitch will help you succeed. Watch the video below on Audience Analysis and getting started.

Here's just one executive you'll hear from...

"If it is a C-suite presentation and you’re actually asking for an outcome, you need to know what are the hot points of the CFO, or the treasurer’s office, or the VP of finance."

Consider executives’ personality styles

Think of each executive who will be in the room.

How do they prefer to have information presented to them? Where are they on the risk profile? Are they highly conservative, or are they innovative and open to experimentation? How will your proposal affect their areas of responsibility?

Starting with your audience in mind helps you strategize how to present your information.

Give yourself enough time to gather data

Weeks ahead of your presentation to executives, you may need to: meet with people in various functional areas for input and/or buy-in; check in with your manager; research executives’ hot buttons; and prepare slides or documents to send ahead. Don’t underestimate the time it will take to do all of this.

And speaking of being prepared, make sure you’ve considered the environment in which you’ll likely be with them—namely, virtual. If presenting to executives weren’t challenging enough, today’s digital interactions present another layer of things to consider.

Check out this great article, “ Digital Communication Skills: Is Your Message Getting Across? ,” by digital presenting and training guru Cindy Huggett. Great suggestions not only for putting your best digital self forward with senior executives, but also tips you can use in any virtual-meeting situation.

Find and leverage a sponsor

Find someone who knows the group you’re presenting to who is willing to not only help you prepare as your guide, but can also advocate for you during the meeting. Use your sponsor to check the validity of your logic ahead of time, rehearse with and get feedback from, and agree on when you should look to them for help during the executive meeting.

Debrief with your sponsor after the meeting to gain insights and lessons you can use in the future.

Prepare for possible questions or objections

Consider including a slide that states the answers to anticipated questions or concerns rather than waiting for them to be brought up. This is a great way to demonstrate that you’ve kept your audience in mind when preparing your presentation.

Follow the 10/30 Rule

If you have 30 minutes on the executives’ meeting agenda, plan to present 10 minutes of material. The remainder of the time will likely be devoted to discussion and interaction and not necessarily in sequence.

R emember that your role is to facilitate a conversation, not just deliver a presentation.

Set the context and confirm the time slot

You don’t need an entertaining, attention-getting opening, but you do need to set the context as you start and get an agreement on timing. Thirty minutes originally may have been planned, but the meeting timeline can change.

Start by saying, “I understand we have scheduled 30 minutes. Does that timing still work?”

Rajeev Goel, Co-Founder and CEO at PubMatic, and Monica Poindexter, Vice President, Inclusion & Diversity/Employee Relations at Lyft, will give you tips on overcoming the presentation challenges in regards to context.

Use the PREP model if your time gets cut

Don’t be surprised if what you thought would be a 30-minute meeting is cut to 10 minutes because the executives have another more urgent matter to discuss. Use the “PREP” model to craft your abbreviated pitch before the meeting:

State the outcome you want early

State the outcome you want from your presentation early. What do you want the executives to say “yes” to?

Be specific. For example, “I want your support” is vague. “I want you to approve a $500,000 investment in new centrifuge equipment this quarter” is specific.

Get that key message out first...

Always use a valid business reason

Clearly state what value or ROI your ask will bring in terms of revenue increase, cost reduction, protection from risk, competitive advantage, or other business drivers. It can’t be just a “nice to have” proposal.

For example...

“The bottom line is, we’re seeking your approval for five new FTEs in account management roles for an investment of $750,000. The reason is that we have a $2M revenue opportunity with the launch of [XYZ project]. These account managers will focus on the top 20% of our customer base to ensure we maximize the sales opportunity.”

Follow with the essential data—and do a deep dive only if asked

Instead of drowning listeners in data, lead with the top two to three key points and supporting evidence that best support your ask and business reason. The key points should be answers to the primary questions you think the executives will have about your proposal.

Keep in mind that execs want the 10,000-foot view and how it affects the organization's bottom line.

Focus on analytical proof

Senior decision-makers don’t need to be entertained. So while your logic may follow a “storyline,” hard data is what will be more convincing.

If you have a customer success story or a brief anecdote that supports your point, use it. But remember, unlike a general audience, the C-level executives in the room will grow impatient with stories unless they’re succinct and tie directly to your proposal.

Be proactive and transparent when delivering unpleasant news

There are four steps to presenting bad news:

Get it out at the beginning
Be candid about what happened
Explain how you will fix it
Offer options and recommendations.

You can use this 4-step framework to present bad news in a way that speaks to executives.

Let's take a look at a hypothetical example. You have to explain to them why a consultant they hired quit, and you need to rectify the situation...

1. G et it out at the beginning

The consultant you approved quit unexpectedly. A response to the audit she was supposed to help us with is due next week. Today I want to talk about the path forward.

2. Be candid and explain how you will fix the situation

By the end of this meeting, I’d like your approval to:

Respond to the audit in a generic way with help from the audit team

Collaborate with the internal process improvement team to assess our local processes

Collaborate with my counterpart to create one agreement that combines the best aspects of our process and theirs

3. Offer options on why it makes business sense

No additional cost of hiring a consultant

We’ll be able to leverage the existing processes to create a process that is consistent across the globe

4. Offer final recommendations

With all of that in mind, today I’d like to talk about how we should change our audit process and why I’m confident this plan will receive regulatory approval.

Is there anything else you’d like me to add?

If you have bad news, don’t try to gloss over it. Use the framework to present it in a way that speaks to executives.

Remember that executives want a dialogue—not a data dump

Expect questions and energetic discussions to occur before you have presented all of your material.

(Remember the 10/30 Rule: If you have 30 minutes, prepare only 10 minutes’ worth of “presentation.”) Respond to questions when they come up.

Use facilitation skills to refocus the discussion after a topic change.

Here are a few more tips to enhance your facilitation skills:

Read the room

Notice the process of the discussion as well as the content. When there is cross-talk, interruptions, or rapid-fire questions, you can observe first and then choose an appropriate intervention.

Reading the room can be especially challenging in virtual meetings. You want to encourage everyone to turn on their webcam. Solicit feedback via chat. Stop the presentation and do a quick “reality check” if you notice disengagement or tension.

Use the Headline + Evidence model

Again, this is a time-pressed audience that wants brief, focused answers to their questions. Use the “Headline Response” model to help you do just that.

Paraphrase complex questions to gain clarity

Instead of restating an executive’s question verbatim, use synonyms when you paraphrase.

Remember, you don’t know what is on someone’s mind. So, always check for accuracy after paraphrasing. “Did I get that right?” or just “Right?” gives the questioner a chance to agree or disagree. If your understanding wasn’t accurate, try again.

Address heated feedback and challenging questions in the moment

Especially if someone is upset, a deeper level of listening is required. Reflect on both the content and the feeling you noticed (skeptical, concerned, frustrated, etc.) and answer the question as best you can.

Always check to see if you got it right. Never say, “I know how you feel,” because you don’t, actually.

Answer the question-behind-the-question (before it is even asked)

If you get resistance or objections to your ideas, often executives are concerned with key business drivers such as top-line and bottom-line impact, competitive positioning, and risk management.

When you paraphrase their questions, check for these concerns and be ready to address them directly.

Listen for the question-behind-the-question.

Rely on the “notice and ask” strategy to refocus the discussion

You are not in a position to tell the executives what to do.

But if the discussion goes in a different direction, you can say, “I notice our discussion is now focused on X. May I get your guidance? Would you like to keep going in this direction, or would you like to go back to our topic?”

Be personal to re-engage a disengaged executive

You don’t want to catch anyone off guard, so give a little context when you ask someone directly for their thoughts (as a re-engagement strategy).

For example, “Jaime, given that what we are trying to do here is to reduce response time, in your experience, will this new approach work in the field?”

Acknowledge disagreements between top executives, but don't intervene

You may look to your sponsor to help calm things down, but don’t intervene.

Conclude with a quick summary and resolve any noteworthy issues before your final ask

As you end your presentation, summarize and check to be sure you are clear on what decisions or agreements have been made and what your next steps will be.

“I explained x and y; you also brought up a and b. Do I have your go-ahead now to purchase the new equipment for $500,000 this quarter?”

Presenting to senior executives is often a nerve-wracking, high-stakes situation. But as these leaders will tell you, it can be a great opportunity to grow, and to increase your value to the organization.

I hope you’ve found these tips enlightening and helpful. L earning to think like senior executives and present to them means learning new habits—and breaking old ones. But wow, I know it’s hard. And we present a lot of information to take in with our 23 Tips.

So, here’s one final piece of advice: start small. Pick one or two tips to apply to your next presentation. And check out this quick-read article, “ 4 Steps to Making New Habits Stick ,” by Cindy Solomon, founder, and CEO of the Courageous Leadership Institute. It will help you learn how to make the most of small steps toward new habits.

But before you get started using them for your next presentation, I’d like to hear from you.

How Our Coaching and Training Works We use several methodologies that weâ€™ve developed based on our landmark public speaking courses to help you maximize your impact with every presentation you give. Our executive coaching in presentation skills revolves around one-on-one interaction in which the executive gives a sample presentation and the coach gives feedback and advice on how to improve. Typically, there will be three of these sample presentations during the day, so executives can reinforce their skills and practice new techniques.

This type of executive communication coaching works because it is like taking a highly personalized public speaking course focused on the needs of the executive. Our method quickly identifies each personâ€™s strengths and weaknesses, so the coach can offer immediate advice and improvements are made and reinforced over the course of the day.

Executive Coaching, Onsite or Anywhere Many companies choose to have their executive presentation skills training program or coaching conducted in the workplace to fit the executivesâ€™ busy schedules. However, if you feel that the workplace might be too distracting, you can choose a more natural venue such as a retreat. We work with you in the environment that works best for your executives.

About Onsite Training What is onsite training?

The Full List See all onsite courses.

Locations Find out where we can deliver training.

Executive presentation skills training, podium panache: advanced presentation skills for executives, available formats: full-day training course, course highlights.

This presentation skills course for executives will:

Discuss executive presence and what it takes to appear “in charge” at the podium.
Help participants analyze an audience and determine where they should meet it.
Share several frameworks for crafting a moving narrative.
Suggest strategies for anticipating questions.
Explain rhetorical devices and the advantages of incorporating them into a speech.
Offer a method for creating and delivering impromptu messages.

Course Overview

Most executives know how to stand up in front of people and competently deliver a message. They most likely wouldn’t be at the top of their organizations if they didn’t. However, the distance between “competent” and “compelling” is often wide, and the path between the two is elusive. This speaking course for senior executives offers information and skills practice to bridge the gap.

Note: This is not an introductory program, and those who attend should have a firm grasp of basic platform skills.

The following outline highlights some of the course’s key learning points. As part of your training program, we will modify content as needed to meet your business objectives. Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of the participant materials prior to the session(s).

Program Objectives

At this program’s conclusion, participants should be able to:

Isolate a key theme and plot a narrative.
Deliver a credible and compelling speech.
Adjust a message to satisfy fans, critics, uninformed onlookers, and apathetic listeners.
Use several presentation structures.
Apply a range of rhetorical devices.
Choreograph a message.
Exude passion and poise at the podium.

Workshop Outline

Look, act, and sound the part: executive presence at the podium.

This course begins with a discussion about credibility and professional presence. We will review videos of several well-known speakers and identify the positive characteristics they share and any distracting or negative behaviors. Next, we will discuss the extent to which stage presence and various choices influence credibility at the podium.

Where Are You?: Identifying a Starting Point

Whether you’re at square one or already speaking like a pro, it’s helpful to know where you are in order to plan a course of improvement. During this part of the workshop, participants will deliver a speech and evaluate peer presentations. They will grade and be graded on eight distinct competencies. Following this activity, we will identify focus areas for the rest of the session.

Winning Minds and Hearts: Understanding Audience Demands

Just as addressing a hostile crowd differs from speaking to a sea of apathetic faces, talking to an uninformed audience is nothing like sharing information with rows of smiling people who nod in agreement with everything you say. When it comes to most presentations, “one size” rarely fits all. For that reason, audience analysis is an important element of any presentation and a critical one when the stakes are high. This program segment explores four distinct groups, how to identify them, and what each needs from a speaker. As part of the skill-application process, during this part of the course, participants will work in teams to adjust the same message to a range of audiences.

Structuring a Speech: Making Choices

It’s easiest to build a great presentation when you have a blueprint from which to work. This course segment examines proven speech structures: problem-solution, hero’s journey, chronological path, acronym explained, and other frameworks for making a case. Once they understand the available options, participants will choose three structures to which they will apply the same message.

Sententia Anyone?: Understanding and Leveraging Rhetorical Devices

When used correctly, rhetorical devices can have both emotional and logical appeal. In other words, they can act like a “secret sauce” if a speaker knows how to use them. In this part of the program, we will examine various rhetorical devices and what to do with them to enhance a message. Participants will then practice using a few of their choice.

Microwaving Messages: Speaking on the Fly

While it’s not always ideal to have to speak off the cuff, it’s an important skill to master. During this final segment, we will talk about structuring and delivering information when there is little time for preparation. Participants will receive a topic and a set amount of time to plan. They will then apply what they’ve learned from the day as they present to the rest of the class.

By the conclusion of this program, participants should have a clear idea of what it takes to present as a senior leader. They will understand how to address the needs of different audiences, choose a presentation’s structure, employ rhetorical devices, and organize a talk with little time to prepare.

He’s a very talented and engaging trainer, and he was able to get even our toughest employees to participate. Everyone really liked Phillip and enjoyed the course.”

“Thank you Kate, Chris, and Kathy! It was a pleasure working with you, and thank you for providing some valuable insights for our SES!”

“Eduardo was an excellent facilitator. I took so much with me to apply to my job responsibilities that will enhance my thinking as I resolve difficult callers and issues.

“I’m usually quiet in group discussions, but I enjoyed this course so much, I participated quite a bit.”

“The course was high-quality, first-class, first-rate, superior, fine, excellent and hence forth. Charles’ way of teaching was pleasant, exceptional, superb, and commendable. My department will speak well about this course for a while. Thank you so much for the quality of training and attention to detail. We are excited to use the tools created by zombies. However, in all seriousness the course was facio delicias and nuntiisque (fun and informative in Latin). I look forward to using your company in the future.”

“Both sessions went great. They were informative and very interactive and Myla was able to engage the participants throughout the entire presentation. She is a wonderful instructor!”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect and found it to be awesome. I am in business development and while I consider myself to be somewhat refined/savvy, I walked away with so many things to up my game while with clients and the number one lesson and tie back point is that it is 100% about making the client feel comfortable and special. What we do, how we act, how we present ourselves all feeds into that and our ultimate success as sales professionals.”

We had plenty of great feedback from fellow colleagues regarding the presentation, and we’ve already had individuals implementing information they learned from the presentation. We sincerely appreciated all of Stefanie’s hard work delivering a quality presentation to a diverse group of individuals.”

“It was a positive experience to have this training, very useful to understanding myself as a provider and patients. Laurie was engaging as a speaker. I learned to approach patient care differently seeing patients as different and not “difficult.” I took away key points and different strategies to use in my interactions with patients, just a matter of finding the time to make adjustments and implement these changes.”

“As I sit here listening to Laurie, I am thinking that we couldn’t have asked for a better facilitator!!! Wanted to say a quick thank you for your exceptional “customer service” in dealing with us.”

“Thank you again for working with us last week. As always, the team loved the session, and I’ve been hearing great feedback. The change in the leadership team’s behavior, even since just last week, is noticeable. The executive team and I have literally had people coming up to us all week talking about how excited they are for the future, how they believe in where we are headed, and thanking us for what’s being done. As a business leader, this time period is truly a career highlight for me. I can’t thank you enough.”

“Stefanie is knowledgeable, credible, fun and engaging as a facilitator.”

“Phillip was engaging and professional. I had many people who were in the session tell me that they enjoyed it.”

“The team was quite impressed with your materials and more importantly delivery style. I feel like we all took something positive away from the course which is all I can ever ask for.”

“Pamela was very engaging. The training was well presented and held the group’s attention. The feedback I got from my staff was that it was useful not only in work but in their personal lives as well.”

“In each of the sessions that ZMC has hired Business Training Works, I have learned something new — even with the same topic. This is the 10th session we have scheduled, and we always ask for Shawn.”

“Pamela was a gem! We really enjoyed it. The one main piece of feedback I got was they wanted more time.”

“The course has been tremendously helpful to my staff, and I am very grateful for Regina’s knowledge and generosity. She really shared her talents and experience freely, and provided what was needed to reset our team dynamics.”

“Thank you for yet another great presentation. Myla was wonderful and our team really appreciated the opportunity to work with her.”

“Greg Jones was a DYNAMITE presenter! He was fun, knowledgeable, and engaging and had our large group of 50+ people laughing and participating right up until the 5:00 PM end time. I am always impressed when a facilitator can keep a group engaged and involved WITHOUT using PPT and Greg did just that with his handouts, flip charting, storytelling and mixing up activities at table groups, teams, and with partners. We would love to have him back!”

“Thomas Farley’s facilitation of the storytelling module was very engaging and effective. He started the session telling his own story. He asked participants to share their stories, and he respectfully critiqued them using this technique as a teaching tool.”

“Laurie McIntosh brings her personal experience into the training which was invaluable.”

“Board presentation went well. ”Excellent” according to our chairman. Thanks for your training.”

“WOW – where do I begin!? Working with you both has been an outstanding experience throughout the entire process. Your flexibility from first contact was very valuable – we appreciate your willingness to participate in multiple teleconferences to align with KMG.

Your ability to link KMG’s message and philosophies to the lessons is what set you apart from your competitors.

Kate’s energy and willingness to meet as many of the attendees as possible and her ability to quickly build a rapport with folks established credibility and a safe environment. Everyone valued the ‘informalness’ of the key note.

The Tuesday workshop was phenomenal! I saw people taking notes that I never would have imagined would be engaged.

Fantastic result overall – thank you so very much!”

“The training was amazing! Everyone was enthusiastic and we learned so much. They’re already asking when you’re coming back. You are a true gem!!”

Executive Presentations: How to Improve Presentation Skills

Executives are storytellers. They present recommendations, updates, and vision. They reveal new strategies with the expectation that people will take action and drive them forward. These messages must touch hearts and minds, or the listeners will not take action. That is why storytelling is necessary.

Effective executive presentations must be clear. They must be well-organized, concise, and delivered with confidence. Whether presenting to investors, board members, or employees, executive presentations play a critical role in shaping the future of the organization.

Executive Presentations

Executives who can deliver compelling presentations are better equipped to inspire and motivate their teams, build trust with investors, and make strategic decisions that drive business growth. Start with focusing on the 3 S's - Style, Structure, and Strategy.

Style includes starting with the right mindset, so you present as the best version of yourself. Believe that you have valuable information to share and the audience needs to hear it. Nonverbal cues also play a key role in establishing trust and connecting with your audience. Stand straight, sit upright, and keep a still frame to demonstrate physical poise. Support your message with intentional gestures like the karate chop, pincer, and open palm. Look directly at your listeners and hold eye contact for at least three to five seconds. Your voice is also critical to convey confidence. If you are mumbling, using filler words, or speaking too fast, you lose your audience. Project your voice to the most distant part of the room and take time to pause and allow your listeners hear every word you say.

Structure is important to make sure the most critical messages are heard and remembered. Begin with a governing thought and share only the most important information. Avoid the tendency to share too many details up front before getting to the headline. As an executive, your organization is looking to you to lead others through change. You can motivate and inspire an entire team by the way you tell stories. Make sure there is a hero and a villain. Clearly describe the situation, explain the challenge, and then pivot to a crescendo. Create a clear picture of the future so others know exactly where you want to go, how to get there, and what is expected of them.

Strategy ensures that you are positioning your information for acceptance. Include the right balance between positive and negative news. If you disagree, be diplomatic about it. Communicate early and often. Be willing to put a stake in the ground if others are looking to you to make the hard decisions.

Effective executive presentations can help establish credibility and build a positive reputation for both the individual and the organization they represent. By investing time in learning how to deliver impactful executive presentations, leaders can enhance their communication skills and elevate their performance in their roles.

Presentation Skills for Executives

When you go to prepare for a presentation, consider all aspects of what can make it great. Follow a checklist. Here are ten presentation skills that are critical for executives who must communicate complex ideas, strategies, and visions to diverse audiences.

1. Know your audience. What do they know, what do they need, what is their current opinion, and what do they want?

2. understand the purpose and objective, 3. connect with your listeners on a personal level, 4. engage the room with a strong start, 5. tailor the content and delivery to the audience, 6. build credibility and trust with your knowledge and expertise, 7. deliver a memorable message, 8. use visuals and other aids to support the message, 9. handle questions and challenges with ease, 10. be creative.

Investing in presentation skills coaching can help executives build confidence, communicate their vision and goals more effectively, and create meaningful connections with their stakeholders. By continuously honing their presentation skills, executives can elevate their performance and drive success in their organizations.

Training Industry

Leaders influencing leaders: 10 tips for presenting to executive audiences.

businesswoman making a presentation to people sitting around a square table in a large office

Recently, a senior executive for an industry-leading organization lamented that she and her peers frequently found that first-level and mid-level leaders who came to present to the executive team had more credibility when they walked in the door than when they walked out. She went on to share that many speakers did not understand the needs of the executive audience; they were not prepared for probing questions; and they were often not even clear on what it was they wanted the executives to believe, say or do as a result of the presentation.

Based on conversations with other executives from a number of organizations varying in size, geography, industry and sector, it’s clear that she is not alone. All too often, leaders seeking to influence senior executives focus on what they want from those executives without thinking about what the executives need from them. They use their time trying to impress the executives with their expertise and should, instead, demonstrate how the information they’re sharing, the request they’re making or the recommendation they’re offering can make a difference for the organization.

If we want to gain and retain the attention of an audience; if we want them to consider what we have to share; if we want them to think, decide or act upon our recommendations, we need to think about our presentations from their point of view — especially with executive audiences.

10 Tips to Improve Your Presentation Skills

Below are 10 requests executives consistently share when it comes to the leaders that present to them. Leaders at all levels who honor these requests are positioned to establish or validate their credibility and the credibility of their information. They are more likely to influence an executive audience .

1. Start with the bottom line. We don’t want to search for your ask, call to action, solution or recommendation.

2. Respect our time. Get to the point quickly. Don’t assume that our invitation to present and our willingness to listen includes an invitation to talk about other topics of importance to you.

3. Be prepared to be interrupted. We will have questions, we will ask them, and we likely won’t wait until you announce that it is time for Q&A. We will want to explore the current and future context, your understanding, and the consequences of your recommendations.

4. Be flexible. We may want to focus more on one point over another. We may need to cut your presentation time, but we still need to understand your message and call to action.

5. Be candid. To make good decisions, we need all the facts. If you know something we don’t, share it — including the realities of our current circumstances, the risk of maintaining the status quo, and the risks associated with your ideas or solutions.

6. Do your homework. Know what we already know. Before you present, understand what we know and believe about the issue, what we value, the criteria we use in making decisions, the pain points we are trying to alleviate, and the strategies we are seeking to advance.

7. Make the connection . Show us clearly and concisely how your ask, call to action, solution or recommendations will support what we value, align with our decision-making criteria, alleviate our pain or advance our strategy.

8. Manage other stakeholders in advance. If you, or we, will need the support or effort of others to execute any decision you are asking us to make, seek commitments for that support or effort before you ask us. Don’t expect us to do your work.

9. Choose meaning over details. Tell us what your numbers mean; don’t leave the interpretation up to us. During your presentation, we will be looking for the big picture and bottom line. Crunch your numbers. Understand your statistics. Some of us may want to look at your full analysis, but some of us will not. We certainly don’t want to look at it or doing math during your presentation.

10. Focus on results, not activity. Tell us what has been, or will be, achieved. We may applaud effort (activity), but we act on results.

15 presentation tips for captivating your audience and commanding the room.

Share to Linkedin

Person speaking in front of audience

Public speaking can be a daunting task, especially when addressing a large audience. Whether you're giving a presentation in the boardroom or delivering a keynote speech at a conference, holding your audience's attention and maintaining command of the room is paramount. The ability to captivate your audience and leave a lasting impression not only enhances your message's impact but also builds your reputation as a confident and effective speaker.

Here, Forbes Coaches Council members share invaluable tips and strategies to help you conquer your fear of public speaking and ensure that your next presentation or speech is a resounding success.

1. Be Confident

Be grounded and confident to be yourself and then tell great stories. Use your voice and the stage to bring the stories alive. Your audience will connect to the emotion of the story but make sure that it is relevant for your audience and related to the topic. - Cath Daley , Cath Daley Ltd

2. Find A Way To Actively Engage The Audience

Be prepared with ways to get your audience engaged and keep their focus. Whether that's relating to your audience, telling a joke or asking questions, actively driving engagement will make for a more effective presentation or speech. - Luke Feldmeier , Online Leadership Training - Career and Leadership Accelerator for Engineers

3. Create An Emotional Connection

Creating an emotional connection with the audience and involving them in your session fosters active participation, and ensures your audience stays engaged throughout. This also serves to enhance your presence and to create memories that stay with them long after your presentation ends. - Kristin Andree , Andree Group

4. Put Your Unique Take Front And Center

Do you have something unexpected to say about your topic? Something that goes against the mainstream opinion in your industry or is maybe even slightly provocative? If so, putting your unique take front and center in the title and the beginning of your talk and explaining or resolving it later keeps your audience engaged and interested. - Micha Goebig , Go Big Coaching & Communications, LLC

5. Remember That The Audience Doesn't Know Your Planned Speech

No one wants to see you fail as a speaker. Remember that the focus shouldn't be on whether or not you can recall verbatim every word of your planned speech. The focus should be on how to connect to your audience with a few key points using a combination of storytelling and facts. - Sheri Nasim , Center for Executive Excellence

6. Adapt Your Language To The Audience

Talk about something they are interested in or include elements that will keep them interested. Start by asking why your topic matters to each and every one of them. Use language adapted to the audience. Keep the key messages to two or three maximum. Show them what you think and why you care about the topic. - Isabelle Claus Teixeira , Business and Human Development Consulting Pte Ltd

7. Try To Incorporate An Element Of Surprise

Engagement is the key to keeping the audience's attention. Invite participation, tell stories, walk around, have visuals, include humor, raise your voice and ask questions. Think of a comedian who points at someone in the audience: "Hey, you with the red shirt?" Everyone pays attention. What element of surprise can you present? - Susan Jordan, MBA, MSODL, PCC , Sphereshift Coaching and Consulting

8. Know Your Audience

Doing research ahead of time to ensure you're providing the subject matter in a personalized manner will keep their attention. The topic will dictate the necessary vibe. Based on that, providing opportunities for the group to engage, such as shouting out a word, raising a hand, etc., will also help maintain their interest. - Lindsay Miller , Reverie Organizational Development Specialists

9. Use The Problem-Agitation-Solution Approach

Don't just give a presentation — share a story. It must be a story-audience fit though. Use the P.A.S. — problem-agitation-solution — approach. Start with introducing a problem, follow by agitating the problem via telling a relevant anecdote and conclude by offering a solution by giving an audience a clear, direct way to avoid the pain and learn the lesson. - Alla Adam , Alla Adam Coaching

10. Tell The Audience What They Need To Hear

Instead of trying to figure out what to say, figure out what the audience wants and needs to hear. This shift in perspective allows you to tailor your speech in a way that keeps audiences actively engaged because it's good content that they want to hear. - Robin Pou , The Confident Leader

11. Go All In

To command your audience's attention you have to get into the spirit of what you're teaching and go all in without second-guessing yourself. People want to be led, but they'll be unwilling to follow someone who isn't confident in what they are communicating. - Arash Vossoughi , Voss Coaching Co.

12. Use A Compelling Opening

Start your speech/presentation with a compelling opening that grabs the audience's attention. This could be a surprising fact, a relevant story or a thought-provoking question. This initial engagement can help you establish a strong connection with the audience and set the stage for a captivating presentation. - Moza-Bella Tram , Moza-Bella LLC

Forbes Coaches Council is an invitation-only community for leading business and career coaches. Do I qualify?

13. Be Authentic

Connect deeply with your essence and purpose. Radiate authenticity. When you're centered in genuine passion and truth others feel it, creating an unspoken bond. It's not about performing; it's about being present and real and offering value from the heart. That's magnetic. - Anna Yusim, MD , Yusim Psychiatry, Consulting & Executive Coaching

14. Let Your Audience Talk

There is nothing worse than stealing everyone's craving for autonomy and speaking the whole time. The person who does the talking does the learning. So, give some autonomy to the audience. Let them talk. Even if it's thinking time and talking to themselves, or to their neighbor or table group. This gains trust and they will lean into what you have to say even more. - Alex Draper , DX Learning Solutions

15. Leverage Non-Verbal Cues

My top tip is to engage your audience through storytelling. A compelling narrative captures attention, evokes emotion and makes complex ideas more relatable. Additionally, use body language and eye contact effectively. These non-verbal cues can significantly enhance your connection with the audience. - Peter Boolkah , The Transition Guy
