TELEPRESENCE & VIDEO PRESENTATION COACHING, CONSULTING & TRAINING

With the explosion in video teleconferencing technology being used to bring people together online, a relatively new skill that leaders are now required to master is telepresence. Our on-camera video presentation training is for clients looking to master the techniques necessary to engage via videoconferences, promotional or industrial videos, webinars, shareholder outreach, and virtual town-halls, all now considered leadership essentials. Through our unique and proprietary telepresence training, the ability to come across confidently and engagingly on screen is something we prepare our clients to excel at.

A cross section of the areas we cover include:

• VIDEO SCRIPTING: Video teleconference training success depends upon the quality of the video script; it must be written for the ear, not the eye. Too often, it is otherwise, resulting in a stilted and uncomfortable delivery that detracts from performance instead of eloquence that enhances it.
• ON CAMERA PRESENTATION: Telepresence is exactly that – televised executive presence.  Though closely related to in-person presenting, on-camera video presentation requires specialized and singular techniques. Once mastered, it is common for clients to be rewarded with exponential results.
• SPEAKING VOICE: Video presentation is only partly visual. The other part is sound. This is why, in our video conferencing training, we help clients develop a strong, interesting, well-modulated speaking voice including proper inflection, enunciation, pacing, and energy, among other, critical vocal techniques. Voice is a key indicator of leadership communication.
• TELEPROMPTER: Clients’ video lives become dramatically easier once they are comfortable using this essential tool. Video presentation training includes working with the teleprompter until clients can execute a flawless delivery, creating the illusion of a relaxed, confident conversation.
• MAKEUP, DRESS & ADORNMENT: There are appearance standards that must be met in video presentations. Telepresence training would not be complete without clear and achievable advice and recommendations clients can use to look their very best.
• PRACTICE & REHEARSAL: Efficient and effective practice and rehearsal is where the magic is and the only way superb video teleconferencing and video presentation skills are developed, grown, and mastered.

When developing telepresence and video conferencing skills, video recording and playback are always used. Depending on the situation, as an add-on to any video presentation training program, Ruth can accompany client to video venues to coach and direct, as well as intervene and consult on-the-spot for peak performance and video presentation effectiveness.
