If you wish to learn how to maintain your participants’ attention and participation while you present remotely, and avoid travel costs, this session is for you.During this session, you will learn five practical strategies to use when presenting via online meeting software.

Visual Thinking
 |
There is nothing worse than watching a presenter reading PowerPoint slides (except maybe watching a presenter eating and reading PowerPoint slides). Attend this workshop to learn how to avoid PPT anemia and deliver compelling content, whether online or face-to-face. Why is this important? Research shows that by using visuals, you can reduce the length of your presentations (clients love that), make your content more memorable (your executives will love that), and keep viewers focused (you will love that). When you speak in pictures, everyone benefits, including your bottom line.During this workshop, you will learn how to visualize facts, processes, data, and abstract concepts so that the slideware you include in your presentation enhance your delivery and compliment your presentation skills.

Persuasive Voice
 |
According to a recent study conducted by AMDOCS, 80% of today’s consumers would rather go to the dentist, sit in a traffic jam or pay their taxes than deal with an UNhelpful person on the phone. An “unhelpful person” may be characterized as dull, detached, tired, unenthusiastic, apathetic… and these characteristics are delivered through one’s voice. Because of current economic constraints, more and more business professionals present virtually. Can you imagine what happens to presenters when their voices put an audience off? The purpose of the Persuasive Voice workshop is to teach participants how to turn their voice into a persuasive communication tool that exudes confidence, clarity, and, most of all, convincing power that drives an audience to action.

I enjoyed the presentation (Virtual Presentation Skills. You managed to keep the audience’s attention for three hours, that is an impressive achievement in any setting. I appreciate the amount of hard work that goes into a quality presentation for that length of time. I hope to put all of it to good use immediately, for a credentials pitch to a potential client.
I attended your web conference and you were fantastic!!! Your presentation was such a welcome departure from all the other webinar’s I have listened to.
In addition to all of the excellent points, I greatly appreciated you speaking of presentations as a “service” and the speaker as a servant of the audience in the context of addressing narcissism at the beginning of a presentation. Great point, I hope I can apply it consistently.
Carmen and Danielle,
This is one of the best classes I have ever participated in. I learned so many skills that I have applied to my presentations (still working on the power points). Instantly, I was motivated and challenged to become a better speaker and presenter.
I have completed the book and enjoyed it very much.
Barry and I will do our presentation about what we learned in May. I will keep you posted on our progress.
I feel blessed to have met you both.
Rexified! (in my southern accent )

I participated with the Adobe and AMA webinar “You Had Me at Hello” Techniques to quickly catch people’s attention in marketing webinars by Dr. Carmen Taran on March 31st, and found it to be one of the best webinars (or seminars) I have ever attended. The content objective was to teach participants how to create and deliver memorable and effective webinars; however, the information was valuable for me at many levels in my marketing role. I actually used some of the suggestions during a presentation on Wednesday, April 1. I plan to incorporate many more of Dr. Taren’s points into my presentation style, and also into my personal style when meeting face-to-face with customers. Dr. Taren is an excellent presenter and maintained my attention 100% of the time during the webinar!
Such a departure from all other webinars on Power Point, or any other subject for that matter. Finally someone shares the secret of slide design, how to capture audience attention and engage them in the subject using the right fonts, images, photos etc. in the right way. Very professional approach.
As well, I never thought that a full day webinar would be tolerable yet I found that the day flew by. Credit to Carmen for designing a truly interactive session. By the way, the first truly interactive web-based training session I’ve ever attended.
I would highly recommend Rexi Media’s courses to anyone who wants to seriously improve the impact of their presentations.
I’m now in the process of auditing my current presentations and making sorely needed changes, and looking forward to the next Rexi Media webinar.
I want to thank Carmen for an excellent Visual Thinking seminar. I found it extremely helpful and immediately applicable to my work as an online event marketing professional.
The Presentation Skills Seminar was great. Carmen did a great job with opening my eyes to many presentation habits, both good and bad, that I must be aware of going forward. If you are an experienced or non-experienced presenter, I highly recommend that you attend this seminar. You won’t be disappointed!
Our company recently engaged Dr. Taran for the Presentation Skills Seminar. Though I have often thought of myself as a good presenter, this presenation opened my eyes to a great many things that I will most certainly incorporate into my future deliveries.
The presentation was well put together and delivered. She kept us very engaged, entertained, and taught us a great deal.
I would highly reccomend this seminar to anyone. Thanks you, Dr. Taran.
We recently attended the Persuasive Voice webinar - I thought it was very instructive! I have been consciously leveraging my voice since and it can be quite effective in keeping people on the phone and engaging their interest. I really appreciated the opportunity to participate – thanks again
I took the Persuasive Voice web class and was really impressed with not only the content of the class and knowledge I attained, but also the way in which the web class was conducted and the ability for “students” to engage with the presenter. I highly recommend this course to anyone. Thank you Rexi Media! Danielle Wyss, Fergus Garber Group Architecture
I liked the interaction among the participants & the faciliator. Kept everyone engaged!
Please schedule something in the Washington, DC area! We need you here!
I thought the webinar was terrific, and as I told Carmen…I did not multitask once during the 3-hour course! Great job!
Dr. Carmen Taran is a powerful facilitator. Her presentations are amazing. In the words of some of my colleagues - brilliant, stunning, transforming, and WOW! Thank you Carmen!!!
I have to agree with Carie Blum. I really enjoyed the Persuasive Voice webinar. It was the most interactive webinar/class I’ve attended, and it was really well done. I wish I could have participated more, but, with our office structure, it would have been too distracting to my co-workers. I have a pretty deep voice and it can be hard to use pitch and inflection effectively, so it was a timely class since I have a couple important presentations and webinars coming up. I’ve been practicing, and feel more confident that I can keep my audience’s attention. Thank you very much for letting me attend the class. I really appreciate it. I highly recommend anything Rexi does.
