High-Impact Presentations 2-day Workshop Series

Two-day High-Impact Presentations Workshop Series: November 10th & November 17th
9:00a.m. - 3:30pm
Location: Suite E 375 W. South Frontage Road Bolingbrook, IL 60440

Forget the basics—you already know how to present! This immersive two-day experience will take your expertise to the NEXT level, helping you design and deliver professional learning that engages, inspires, and drives results—even with the most challenging audiences.

While most presentation courses focus solely on delivery—voice, stance, slides—
High-Impact Presentations goes further. Real impact comes not from what you say, but from how you design learning experiences that move adults to think, reflect, and act differently. This workshop blends expert presentation design with research-based adult learning principles to help you craft sessions that connect with purpose and are delivered with power and precision.

Led by author & speaker, Alisa Simeral, you’ll dig into the critical differences between pedagogy (how children learn) and andragogy (how adults learn)- and discover how understanding those distinctions can completely transform how you design and deliver learning for adults.

Through hands-on practice, fresh strategies, and real-time feedback, you’ll explore how to structure content for clarity, design flow for engagement, and adapt your delivery to meet diverse adult learners where they are. Along the way, you’ll tackle the real challenges every presenter faces: mastering storytelling techniques, strengthening your stage presence, and navigating disruptions and disruptors with confidence and ease.

This course is ideal for:

• District leaders and facilitators who design or deliver professional learning across schools.
• Educators and instructional coaches ready to elevate their presentation design and speaking skills.
• Aspiring and experienced speakers seeking to build confidence, presence, and adult-learning expertise.
• School districts committed to developing exceptional speaker and trainer talent from within their organization.
• Corporate trainers or facilitators who want to better engage adult learners

What to expect:

-Highly interactive sessions designed for optimal adult learning
-Modeling of skills followed by opportunities for participant skills practice
-Constructive feedback from peers and facilitator
-Fresh ideas and tools you can adapt to your own style and contexts

What you'll gain:

• A sharper presence, a stronger message, and practical tools to design and deliver sessions that stick with adult audiences long after they leave
• Skills to move beyond simply delivering content to intentionally engaging adult learners—capturing attention, sparking insight, and driving real learning
• Firsthand experience applying strategies for storytelling, facilitation, and feedback that transform good presentations into unforgettable ones
• Confidence and techniques to connect with adult learners in meaningful ways—turning every presentation into a memorable learning experience
