Limitless Strategies Builds Associates' Presentation Skills
"The leaders at Limitless Strategies are working toward sharpening their team members' presentation abilities. The firm's director discussed this initiative and offered strategies for making training more effective based from his own experiences.
Jenkintown, PA, May 18, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Adam, the director of operations at Limitless Strategies, believes that presentation skills are underrated assets for marketing professionals. As he explained, “There are so many situations in our industry in which presentation skills become useful. Whether it’s making a sales pitch to a customer, presenting complex information to potential investors, or getting your colleagues excited about an upcoming campaign, it’s important to persuade large groups of people.”
A place in which he demonstrated his skills was at a recent quarterly conference where he was asked to be one out of eight keynote speakers. He spoke on topics regarding training his associates for better leadership and how to facilitate road trips to reach new markets. During his presentations Adam stressed the importance of conveying yourself as a leader and being knowledgeable of your business.
There are some tried-and-true training techniques that I try to keep in mind every time we engage in a new training effort. I believe you have to really focus your efforts in order to build your team's skills."

With those points firmly in mind, Adam and the rest of the Limitless Strategies leadership team is working to improve their associates’ speaking and presenting abilities. “We want to make sure that we’re deploying a persuasive team of professionals in whatever we’re doing,” added the director. “That’s why we are increasingly stressing presentation skills in our continuing education sessions and training programs.”
The firm’s leaders want to go beyond simply making their team members more comfortable speaking in front of audiences. As Adam put it, “It’s definitely helpful to be able to harness nervous energy and make it work for you as a speaker. However, we also want to make sure that our associates know how to put complicated information in context and tell an interesting story in the process. That’s the key to engaging an audience and being persuasive.”
Limitless Strategies’ Director Offers Tips for Making Training More Effective
The leaders at Limitless Strategies know that the best intentions can’t guarantee training success. As Adam explained, “There are some tried-and-true training techniques that I try to keep in mind every time we engage in a new training effort. I believe you have to really focus your efforts in order to build your team’s skills.”
One thing Adam always reminds himself is the importance of teaching skills instead of traits. “Essentially, you have to remember that you’re not trying to change the personality of an individual,” he noted. “You have to focus on skills that can be taught and learned. In other words, you can’t turn an introvert into an extravert, but you can teach that person to listen and speak more effectively when dealing with people.”
Another thing that Adam and the other leaders at Limitless Strategies recommend to any leader when training team members is to consistently track their progress. As he stated, “If you’re not seeing the improvement you expected, then you know something is wrong. By closely monitoring your team members’ progress, you can change course quickly if your approach doesn’t seem to be working.”
