There's no doubt that effective communication is core to the Business Analyst role. There will inevitably be times when we need to present clearly, succinctly and persuasively to our stakeholders -- and when the heat is on our presentation skills might be severely tested. It can be particularly difficult to present very technical project information in a way that resonates with senior executive stakeholders. Throw in time constraints, and the harsh reality that we might be "put on the spot" and there is a potential recipe for misunderstandings and cross-communication!

In this engaging Webinar, John Webber from the eXcellence Factor will share a range of tips, tricks and techniques that will help in these situation. During this session, you'll hear practical tips to help you be a more effective and persuasive presenter - whatever the topic. During this presentation you'll hear how to:

  • Avoid the mistakes that most technical experts make when presenting
  • Apply your analytical skills to make your presentations more successful
  • Get - and keep - your audience's attention
  • 3 keys to influencing stakeholders with your presentations
