J’ai suivi la formation de PREZEXPERT

Valentin W.

Je recommande vivement les formations données par Karl sur les présentation efficaces. Il possède une solide expérience et nous enseigne avec beaucoup de talent comment bâtir une présentation percutante en un minimum de temps. Un formation très concrète qui va grandement améliorer l'efficacité de mon équipe. Merci Karl

Dans le cadre d'une formation suivie dernièrement (Développer des présentations d'affaires efficaces), j'ai eu la chance d'être enseigné par Karl Genest, Président et fondateur de PrezExpert. Tout au long de la formation, j'ai été grandement impressionné par les nombreux talents de Karl et de la richesse des savoirs qu'il nous a transmis, que j'ai tout de suite pu mettre à profit au sein de mes projets. En effet, j'ai beaucoup apprécié l'importance de la planification/ stratégies des messages de gestion de changement en amont de la présentation PPT. Bref, grâce à Karl et PrezExpert, je dispose maintenant des outils qui rendront mes présentations PPT encore plus pertinentes, percutantes et efficaces ! C'est pourquoi je recommande fortement PrezExpert pour toutes entreprises cherchant à parfaire leur compétence en matières de présentation. Bravo et merci pour tout Karl !

      PrezExpert is a boutique communication firm dedicated to effective business presentations. We are experienced business people (i.e. not just graphic artists) who understand how presentations are created and used in complex organisations, and we frequently work with C-Suite executives on business-critical presentations. We help organisations of all sizes to reach new levels of performance through the following 4 services, offered worldwide in English and French: 1. TRAINING PrezExpert’s presentation creation workshops blend theory and hands-on exercises to enable professionals up to VP level to DEVELOP MORE EFFECTIVE PRESENTATIONS IN LESS TIME. Participants dramatically improve their ability to articulate their presentation objective, define the desired impact, develop a powerful storyline, and craft effective slides that will maximize audience understanding and retention. A new workshop on data visualization will be launched soon. 2. PRESENTATION DESIGN Whether you want to persuade your board of directors, potential investors, key stakeholders, employees or potential business partners, the PrezExpert team can rapidly craft a high-impact, professional-looking presentation for you. We save our clients time and money by creating significantly better presentations in a fraction of the time. 3. POWERPOINT TEMPLATES Our experts can develop a brand-friendly template embedding your corporate colours, fonts and other visual elements, with a wide selection of programmed page layouts. PrezExpert develops both standard company-wide templates as well as purpose-specific templates. 4. COACHING Individual or group coaching sessions focused on a single critical presentation that needs to be pushed to the next level. Leveraging our SP2C™ process and pTOOLS™ electronic toolkit, PrezExpert’s presentation coaches work with you to better define your presentation objective and desired impact, and improve overall presentation sequence, individual slide design, and messaging.
