Presenting can be a challenge for construction professionals at any level of their career — especially if they’re presenting to win a project. It can be hard to figure out what’s most important, and to find the words that communicate your point concisely and efficiently. Nerves can get in the way, and even when they don’t, it can be hard to make a connection with audiences who just aren’t giving you the feedback you’re looking for. Plus, presenting isn’t something you do every day, so there can be questions about how to make the most of the opportunity, and leave the audience with the takeaways they need.
In this engaging and fun session, Pete Machalek draws from his roots as a filmmaker working with actors and screenwriters, followed up by 23 years of working with construction professionals — to share the simple secrets of how to apply story and presence to make the most of any presenting opportunity.
