ICA Event - June 15th
Improving Communication and Presentation Skills

Speaker: Robert Burnside
President and Chief Communicator of Empowr

Having the best service or technology does not always guarantee success. To get
ahead in business today, effective communication and presentation skills are a
must. Our June speaker, Robert Burnside, specializes in leadership
communication--how to influence others with powerful verbal and visual
communication. He trains, coaches and consults at all levels to teach you how to
understand what you want to say, then say it so that others understand. Robert
will teach you to handle the following questions and situations:

* Can you describe your business in 20 seconds, or in one minute explain how
you differentiate yourself from the competition?
* Can you infect others with the enthusiasm you have for your business? Can you
describe your vision?
* Does your audience take away a visceral understanding--an image in their
minds--of what, why, how?

Robert Burnside will explain what really underlies convincing presentations, why
we need them, why so many presentations are so bad, and how to work towards
making yours better. This is not about presentation skills as we know them, but
about the attitude necessary to acquire the skills; the principles of persuasion
that we have known for thousands of years (and ignore daily); the lessons of
evolutionary psychology and modern neurology; and about using authenticity,
simplicity and common sense. As president and chief communicator of Empowr (a
New Zealand company), Robert has been delivering his Powrtalk training and
coaching for several years at some major companies in Japan (such as Toyota, NTT
DoCoMo, Citigroup).
