Why do you need Straight Forward Powerful Business Presentation Skills?

It is quite common to see professionals having a hard time when asked to do a business
presentation. What usually happens is that the professional would resort to a copy-
paste mode of a report to a power point slide presentation. Consequently the audience
will be subjected to an overload of data and missing the ultimate objective of the
presentation, the true message she/he wants to deliver. A power point presentation
should be giving the big picture and details in a clear manner. The take out for the
audience is simply an understanding of what has been presented. LatihINDONESIA’s
Straight Forward Powerful Business Presentation module takes the participant on a
learning process with the support of Business Presentation Tools (BPT) and Exercises.
Get rid of the un-necessary anxiety symptoms that impede the business presentation
session and transform it to be a presenter who is Straight Forward in delivering a
Powerful Business Presentation. This presentation skill is not only on how to present
with the assistance of Powerpoint, but also teaches the participant with Public Speaking
Skills. Today, in the light of MEA (Masyarakat Ekonomi Asean) the skill to present
becomes even more important. Asean countries have in their education curriculum on
how to present. Indonesia must be prepared.

Do we need to be an eloquent speaker?

We believe that some are born as singers and others need to learn how to sing. Can the
one who learned singing be as good as a born singer? Perhaps not! But at least one can
hold a note. This applies to Straight Forward Business Presentation Skills. This module
takes the professional in enabling to present their thoughts in a cohesive manner.
President Jokowi is not a born speaker in fact he is rather stiff with the tendency of
being awkward. He has an introvert personality. Yet, president Jokowi in his address at
the CEO Summit 2014 in Beijing, China received a standing applause from the
international CEOs and received an approximate investment interest of U$ 300 billion.
This interest has come at the time where Indonesia is seen as a corrupt country and full
of un-necessary bureaucracy. Just recently The Peoples’ Republic of China has signed an
investment commitment of U$ 500 billion.

Why do we need power point presentation?

preparation namely control yourself (physically and mentally), master the content you

The trainers of LatihINDONESIA, have over 30 years of experience working as

professionals in multinational companies and have brought their experiences to this
training module. Therefore, LatihINDONESIA’s modules are composed not by following
other training modules. The training modules are composed based on the experiences
of the trainers who are experts in their fields. Modules developed by LatihINDONESIA
are full of exercises and group discussions. The reason of this is to motivate the class
participation with adult learning method within a joyful and comfortable learning
environment. And, by the end of the workshop, the participants will be challenged to

well as to develop their own plan of action so that new insights could be put into

Follow up classes

Understanding that often times the outcome of a workshop or training is easily
forgotten; it is therefore we will come to Clients office to conduct short reviews of the
training after 3 months and 6 months. These follow up reviews will take 2 hours per
session. The purpose is to have the participants reminded on what have they have
acquired in the previous training.

Materials/Hand-out
There will be no materials distributed. We are asking the participants to bring along
their laptops and will ask to make notes of what they think is important. In our
experience if we distribute materials, it will distract participants’ concentration. It will
be much more beneficial if they make notes as if when they were in class lectures. At
the end of the class the Client will receive a soft copy of the training to be replicated
and send to the participants.
