Maximising Impact™
52 Ways to Present Information Powerfully

could be exactly what you need right now!

From: Ann Grindrod and Stella Collins, Co-Founders of Brain in Business™.
To:     People who present information to others – in any shape or form.
Re:     Slash your input, accelerate your output!

By the time you’ve finished reading this page, you will understand …

	What the Maximising Impact™ 1-day workshop will change for you.
	How it’s the fastest way to apply a system which has been consistently proven to work.
	Why you’ll kick yourself if you wait a minute longer to achieve measurable results.

Now, you probably think you’ve heard most of this before … how to use design templates, how to use less slides, how to present properly, how to harness the internet to deliver your message, etc. etc.

So before you read any further, we want to clear up any misconceptions …

Slashing your input to accelerate your output does NOT mean that you simply put in less time on preparation.

It means that you choose to use your time differently. And one of the most powerful ways to use your time differently is to invest in a system. And using a system that is proven to work consistently with all audiences is probably the most cost-effective system you can choose.

But here’s the challenge …

Just knowing about a proven system won’t help
to guarantee outstanding output …

… but applying a proven system
to what you prepare and present will.

But do you know what?

… Most people who present information to others don’t get round to applying the good practices they’ve learned.

… Most people just end up doing what everyone else does – and get the same results.

… Most people start with a passion, and end up as bored with their material as their audiences!

Do you want to be like most people who present information, or would you rather …?

Look forward to preparing your material?
Know something about your audiences in advance?
Audiences were awake when they're with you?
People remember more of what you write or say long-term?
People take action after listening to you?
Stand out from a mediocre crowd?

We thought so!

Which is why we created the Maximising Impact™ 1-day workshop.

An easy to follow step by step introduction that demonstrates how to apply a proven model to whatever information you present – and in only 8 hours!

Here's an overview of the important knowledge you’ll gain from this intensive workshop, so you can see just how much you’ll cover in one day; because we believe in modelling everything, you’re immersed in the methods we share.

Take our Memory Challenge!

Previous participants have been astounded with their remarkable results!

Because we are actively using the tools we teach, on average people remember around 75% of the 52 ideas we share. Compared to what they predict – which can be as low as 0–5 - this means they retain 39 pieces of information and some people remember 100% - which is all 52 ideas we share! Read on to find out why this is so important …

And if you prefer pictures, here’s what we’ve just said above, put another way…

So who’s this workshop for?

Firstly, we want to tell you who Maximising Impact™ isn’t for! It’s not for you if you …

• Believe you already know everything there is about how to share information with others.

• Think an abundance of PowerPoint slides aids absorption and retention of information.

• Consider the way that you impart information is the only way, because it works for you.

On a personal basis, this workshop is for you if you are the sort of person who is …

	Curious about how people absorb, retain and use information differently.
	Interested in how to leverage your time and energy to best effect.
	Appreciative of the limitations of current presentation methods.
	Desperate to reduce your (and others’) use of PowerPoint.
	Wanting to maximise your impact in how you present information.
	On a quest to add value for your colleagues, customers and clients.

And on a professional basis, this workshop is for you if any of these situations strike a chord …

	Having to prepare a presentation, and knowing nothing about your audience.
	Hearing that your audience may be sceptical or has a limited attention span.
	Needing to prepare and deliver too much information with too little time.
	Developing information or a presentation for people with diverse needs.
	Having too many powerpoint slides, and a sinking feeling in your stomach.
	Delivering technical or other information which is reputedly ‘hard to take in’.
	Being bored with your material, because you’ve presented it so often yourself.
	Working with individuals who don’t get it, even when you repeat what you say.
	Finding yourself falling asleep in presentations or, worse, others falling asleep in yours!

In the 3 years we’ve been running this workshop, we’ve logged well over 50 different job titles from those who’ve participated – so you can see Maximising Impact™ has wide appeal.

Now we’re not going to list all the jobs here, but we’ve had a go at summarising them in groups. Our participants …

	Lead teams including managers, team leaders, supervisors, co-ordinators.
	Share technical information such as law, finance, health and safety, IT, etc.
	Market organisations, products or services to others including PR, website designers, demonstrators, marketing and sales people.
	Work on a 1-2-1 basis including coaches, mentors, careers and guidance advisers, and some therapists.
	Support learning including administrative staff, organisers, and union learning reps.
	And for those who design and/or deliver learning, Maximising Impact™ provides an intensive overview of a proven system in action.

Here are some of the challenges we regularly help to solve which you too can confidently handle …

This is a challenge probably most of us can relate to! A need to deliver information or learning to changing audiences, of varying sizes, from many backgrounds, and with differing degrees of knowledge! On this workshop you’ll learn how individuals take in information differently, and how to prepare and deliver your material so that everyone can understand you, irrespective of their personal preferences.

This also stems from individual diversity – we all have a variety of ways in which we understand, and if material isn’t explored in a way which works for us, we can get ‘fidgety’. We cover how you can make information meaningful to the widest audiences, by encouraging them to explore the information using their own personal style.

How right you are! Powerpoint can be a useful tool, but in untrained hands, the temptation is to stack way too much information into just one medium – which doesn’t work for most of the audience, most of the time!  We’ll be getting you to think about how you can prepare and deliver information and learning much more creatively.

Unfortunately, many ‘technical’ topics do get a reputation for being dull or hard to take in. We’re thinking here of topics such as IT, strategy, finance, health and safety, science, processes, legislation, etc. Happily, we know from experience that these topics can be delivered in an enjoyable and memorable way, and we’ll be sharing some of our secrets of how you can also achieve this with your technical information.

This is a common challenge for many of us, and stems from the fact that not only do we all learn in different ways, but we also inform, teach and train others, according to our own style. If the styles are incompatible – knowledge transfer may not take place! You’ll be discovering lots of things you can do to adapt your personal style so that you convey information and learning meaningfully to all.

Yes!! We believe that ‘making it stick’ is one of the cornerstones of effective information transfer. By encouraging the brain to take in information in the way it was designed to – effortlessly, joyfully, naturally – our audiences take in information at a much deeper level, ensuring significant improvements in memory, and lasting results back at work.

And while we’re on the subject of results,
how much of what people read and/or hear …

… do you believe they retain in their memory, one hour, one day, one week, one month, after?

0% … 10% … 20% … 30% … 40% … 50% … 60% … 70% … 80% … 90% … 100%?

Take a look at this graph …

Known as the Ebbinghaus Curve of Forgetting, what this graph demonstrates is that recall of information learned starts dropping off, as soon as within twenty minutes, and that a jaw-dropping 70% of what we read and hear can be forgotten very quickly!

Think about that for a moment – most of the information you’ve spent hours, days, even weeks, drafting – forgotten more quickly than it’s been written! How much of a waste of time and effort is that for you – and all your audiences?

So this is where a proven system comes in …

… because the results from using our proven system demonstrate that people can substantially improve their memories of the information that you present, so long as you use the right tools and techniques to make it happen. 

As we said earlier, across all the 1-day workshops we’ve run, the average percentage retention by our participants, of the 52 ideas we share, is a very memorable 75%! Now you can appreciate how impressive that figure really is.

Meet the creators of this powerful proven system –
Ann and Stella

We created the powerful, yet simple to incorporate, system we use at Maximising Impact™ to help us, and people just like you, to present information powerfully, consistently, and memorably, with a focus on getting results.

So as we’ll be spending a day together in imparting our knowledge to you, we want to share the essence of what we’re all about by telling you 3 facts about us, so you’ll know what to expect.

Fact One:
We’re passionate about enhancing your abilities
to present information memorably.

Let’s be honest, who hasn’t been on the end of a presentation which was boring, repetitive, and sleep-inducing, and the only thing you remember was the (good or bad) lunch?

As you’ve seen already, our system has completely reversed the statistics about how much information can be remembered.

And irrespective of how you feel about your abilities as a presenter, we know you can present information more effectively, no matter how technical the topic, so that people enjoy receiving information, and remember more of it, which makes them more likely to take action as a result.

Fact Two:
We’re committed to helping you spend less time
to achieve better results.

Consider how much time is invested in developing information - excessive PowerPoint slides, cluttered web pages, technical manuals that are too heavy even to pick up! (to name but three!)

We actively demonstrate that there are better ways to share all the important information you need to impart to others, and at a fraction of the time and/or financial cost.

Fact Three:
We’ve presented information to thousands of people,
so what we share with you is what has worked for us.

Otherwise why would we use this system ourselves? That would simply be a waste of our time!

The methods we employ have been used to share information about every subject you care to mention – in fact, we have yet to come across a topic that cannot be made more meaningful and memorable by applying the system we use.

We’ve been working together since 2001, researching, redeveloping, and refining what we’ve learnt. With the result that, at the last five Maximising Impact™ workshops, the average group retention of the material we present was 80% and more! Compare that to the figures above!

But please, don’t just take our word for it.

Here’s what a small sample of people who've participated in Maximising Impact™ so far say …

What’s included in your investment?

	An inspiring environment in which to think, work, and learn. Whatever your audience, we’ll show you how improving the environment makes a real difference to what is heard and absorbed.
	To dress for your personal comfort, the environment to be informal yet fast-paced, and your participation to be vital to all the group’s learning.
	To work with everyone in the group, as well as having time for personal reflection.

Maximising Impact™
What’s the investment?

Considering how much time we’ve invested in developing and refining these methods and how much return you and/or your organisation will get in terms of time saved and the results you achieve, you would expect the investment in these workshops to be very expensive.

However, we’re on a mission! And our mission is to share this proven system with as many people who present information as possible. Because we’ve lost count of how many people complain to us about being on the receiving end of poor presentation, teaching and training techniques – especially since PowerPoint was launched!

So, in order to help as many people as possible to slash their input and accelerate their output, we’ve kept the investment for

Maximising Impact™
52 Ways to Present Information Powerfully
at only £497 (+ VAT).

But when we say as many people as possible, unlike some companies, we don’t mean that we work with huge groups, in order to maximise our income!

In fact, we limit the people we work with at this open event to a maximum of just 8 participants per trainer – to ensure you get our maximum personal time and attention.
