FROM HIDING BEHIND THEIR SCREENS TO COMMUNICATING WITH CONFIDENCE
A fast-moving PR firm sought to develop their team members' presentation skills, particularly in a hybrid environment. They wanted to support both internal- and client-facing staff to stop “hiding behind their screens” in order to tell compelling stories that landed with their audiences. Experience Institute addressed that need through a 5-part series: Presentations That Stick.
Through a combination of workshops, peer-to-peer coaching, and expert coaching, this series built presentation skills in three main areas:
Structure: crafting a strong and convincing narrative & deck, using audience logic, rather than presenter logic
Presence: conveying credibility through body language, pacing & eye contact
Connection: engaging the audience and ensuring that the most important parts of the message land
Participants recognized this progress as well.

94% of participating professionals felt the learning was worth the time they invested in the program
“Before, I often ’forgot’ about my audience when presenting and was so focused on me, my delivery and theatre. Now, I'm keeping my audience more in-mind, gauging reactions and identifying opportunities not to just pause, but meaningfully engage.” - Learner
