Technical presentation skills training for engineers and scientists

Mark delivered an outstanding two days of training to my technical team. It’s made a tremendous difference to how they approach the sales environment, and more importantly how a number of them have taken ownership of their own development.

Why improve your technical presentation skills?

When you’re not training, someone else is. And their next presentation might just be the one that changes things!

Value is only created by engineers and scientists when their research, ideas and solutions are in the right hands, where they can be bought into and applied.

Whether internal presentations, customer presentations, conferences, pitches, knowledge sharing, training, or lecturing, technical people face a common challenge when sharing complex information.

But as Edison once said, “there’s a way to do it better – find it!” This workshop will help your team to re-engineer their presentations and delivery to be hugely engaging, efficient, clear, and delivered with confidence and impact.

Your engineers and scientists will learn how to understand how their own audience receive their ideas. And adapt them to suit.

They’ll learn how to plan for and struture presentations so that they work.

And they’ll learn how to overcome nerves, and other common challenges to delivery, and instead drive their points clearly home, with a bang.

The clarity, confidence and energy this learnable capability brings people is refreshing, exciting and valuable to your own organiastion as well as your customers too.

The time to start improving it, is now.

“The workshop was focussed on very practical advice (rather than obscure theory, which many presentation workshops sadly do) and on building up the confidence as well as the skills of the participants. It helps that the workshop leader is also a skilled presenter!”

Who is this for?

Our “Technical presentation skills for engineers and scientists” is not just for engineers and scientists, but anyone involved with communicating technical or complex ideas, updates, solutions or pitches in a presentation format. It’s not necessarily for presenting to groups, or large groups, it might just be for presenting to one or two people. Many of the principles are the same. But we cover the differences between the different types of presentations, as well as presenting in person vs virtually over screens.

Ultimately, it’s for anyone who wants to improve how they both ‘create a more sticky or catchable ball’ and then be able to ‘throw that ball in a more catchable way”.

Who is the sales training for engineers programme delivered by?

The programme is designed and delivered by Mark Moore, Director of Excelerated Performance Ltd.
Mark is an ex-engineer who spent his childhood and teens studying ‘accelerated learning’ approaches to make learning and communicating faster, easier and more enjoyable.
He graduated from the University of Warwick with a degree in Engineering and Business Studies and soon after set up a business to help large organisations benefit from faster, more effective approaches to learn new capabilities.
Since he realised he had inadvertently become a sales professional (by selling his own services successfully to large organisations including National Grid, ISS, and Macquarie Bank amongst others), he decided to point his accelerated learning, facilitation, consulting and coaching skills to help other technically minded engineers to make the same transition, which he has done in Australia and the UK since 2009.
And a major part of this is impactful presentation skills. Mark has the ability to not just teach the unlikeliest of people how to sell and present, but rather relate directly to them and help them learn how to make impact in the fastest way possible.

Where is the programme delivered?

The program is usually delivered in-house at your offices (The UK or internationally) or at an offsite location of your choice. Basically, Mark comes to you.

How long is the training?

It totally depends on your objectives and requirements. We recommend at least a one day workshop with a group size of around 5 people or so. This creates a comfortable environment for people to learn these skills, and most importantly gives everyone a chance to deliver at least two presentations in the day where they can get constructive feedback from a small group that they bond with.

What are the next steps?

We don’t work with everyone. We work with those we genuinely believe are in a position in which we’ll be able to get results with. The best way to determine that, is together over a conversation.
