Many of these ideas you can immediately implement.
Web Site Critique

Throughout the weekend there will be specific times to analyze your website in a small group setting.
Diversifying Your Professional Portfolio
An offering of 15 allied business opportunities to consider for the diversification of your income. We guarantee that at least four or five will make sense for you, and perhaps even most of them.

Building Your Brand
Specific work on the three fundamentals of dynamic brand impact: Formulation, nurturing, and brand equity. If you have a brand, enlarge, expand, and/or add to it. If you don't, create one while you're with us. (One speaker and coach of unacceptable behavior among senior executives became "The Lion Tamer" and immediately gained radio interviews.)
Publicizing Your Story
Use
the stories that define your life and your message, not solely on the
platform, but with the media to build recognition, marketing, and
celebrity. Treat the media as your primary audience.
If
you are a first time attendee, we can cover some of the content from
earlier Odd Couple Seminars. If you are a repeat graduate, you know
there is always new content, or an updated approach to everything that
is said.
Fripp
Two-Day Speaking School
Patricia
Fripp's Speaking and Presentation Skills School: Day One:How to Design
and Deliver a Dynamic Keynote Talk, Speech or Sales Presentation
Thursday & Friday, November 17 & 18, 2005
The White House Training and Multimedia Center
3260 Joe W. Brown Drive
Las Vegas, NV 89109
If you are a novice, intermediate or even advanced business presenter or professional speaker, you can benefit from Fripp's unique ability to demystify the process of what it takes to design a great presentation. You can attend just Day One or stay for Day Two as well.
Patricia says, "There are three simple, but necessary, parts to every effective presentation. They are (1) the structure or framework, (2) the content or material, and (3) your delivery. The structure and content is important to focus on before you work on your delivery or presentation style. After all, why work at polishing a presentation that is not worth listening to?" (Patricia Fripp's Speaking and Presentation Skills School: Day Two will focus more on have you present more effectively.)
A Fraction of Fripp's Presentation Philosophy:
- There is no such thing as a boring subject only a boring speaker.
- To be successful your remarks have to be addressed from the audience's point of view.
- When you take some of the best techniques of Hollywood, copywriting, and sales, then add them to your business or professional presentations they will be dramatically improved.
- The art is hiding the art.
- Rehearsal is the work, performance is the relaxation.
Consider this:
- Would it be helpful if your audience remembered what you said?
- Helpful if they could repeat your key points two weeks later?
- Would it be profitable if potential clients knew why you are the chosen vendor ahead of your competition?
If yes, yes and yes...sign up now!
Day One:
You will learn how to:
- Save time by utilizing the Fripp Presentation Organization Tool to organize your remarks
- Solidify your thoughts into a structure
- Open with impact and close each presentation on a high point

- Electrify your examples
- Discover the one behavior an audience won't forgive
- Eliminate the enemy of every presenter
- Be more spontaneous
- Appreciate you are the star, not your visual aids
- Question and Answer techniques.
You are guaranteed to:
- Improve listener buy-in for your point of view
- Be remembered and repeated
- Be more effective in any speaking situation, formal or informal
- Recognize bad habits and be able to minimize nervousness
- Project more confidence and competence
- Have your questions answered.
Participant Outcomes:
As an attendee you will be able to identify mistakes most speakers make and how to eliminate them. By the end of the session you will have learned how to write, present and spice up a talk or sales presentation. You will know how to use this new strength to your competitive advantage. You will recognize your strengths and cut years off your learning curve. In the future you will never listen to another presenter the same way again.
