About the trainer:

Dr. Don McGrath has a unique background that has enabled him to create the From Informing to Influencing: Create Technical Experts Who Influence workshop. He spent nearly thirty years as an engineer and senior leader in Fortune 500 companies, where he led large engineering teams. During that period, he gave thousands of presentations ranging from technical talks at conferences to business presentations to General Managers and CEOs, and everything in between.

Dr. McGrath also developed an interest in writing and authored six books, four of which were best-sellers. Through his journey as an author, he studied public speaking from some of the world’s top speakers including Les Brown. During this time, he became a highly skilled speaker and won awards for his several of his talks.

He has combined all that he has learned about presenting and speaking into this workshop aimed at making technical staff more effective in influencing their audiences. He recalls how it seemed like every time there was a big presentation to upper management or customers, either he or only one or two technical staff were entrusted to do so. The stakes are high and can’t be trusted to just anyone. The problem wasn’t one of technical knowledge, after all he typically wasn’t the expert. It boiled down to how the information was presented. How he wished he could have had ten more technical staff members to share the load. Now you can!

What if technical data were summarized and presented to your team and customers with clarity and with clear recommendations and calls to action? Have you ever wondered how much more efficient your company would be if the technical experts could be leveraged more effectively in presenting technical solutions to your upper management and customers?

From Informing to Influencing: Create Technical Experts Who Influence Don McGrath, Ph.D. offers this two-day workshop that teaches key presentation skills to managers and senior technical staff members, enabling them to clearly, confidently, concisely, and effectively communicate their ideas to your company’s teams, upper management and customers so that the right information is shared effectively and proper decisions are made quickly.

Imagine having many more technical staff who can share this burden. Staff Development and Satisfaction Exposure to upper management and customers is often a key factor in promotability. Training more technical staff to be capable of such presentations deepens the promotability of the technical bench, making for a much more effective organization. Improved customer relationships Customers love it when they get technical information from technical experts. They love it when relationships are built between their technical team and your technical team. Exposure of more of your technical talent to your customers deepens these relationships and improves customer experience. Improved decision making When presenters know all the background and know all the data, then and only then can the right decisions be made at a meeting. Training more technical staff to be able to present their work improves speed and quality of decision making.
