When creating your proprietary workshop or seminar for women there are three steps that will create a seamless presentation that makes an impact.
Step 1: Identify your Objective :
Knowing your objective for your event is critical to measuring your success and defining how you approach your event. Is your objective to inspire more referrals from clients? Create more appointments from prospective clients? Elevate brand awareness in your community? Attract more prospective clients? Or simply build stronger connections with your female clients? Knowing what you want to accomplish can have a significant impact on how you promote, market and present your message.
Step 2: Clarify your 3 Key points
Your three key points will become the foundation to your whole presentation. Assume that when participants leave your event they can only remember three key points, what do you want those points to be? Once you have defined those points you can then start building the educational component of your presentation around these three points.
Using your three key points you can break your presentation into 3 components each component building and reinforcing one key point which leads to the next key point. At the end of the presentation you will want to summarize your key points and reinforce why they are important. This supports the training mantra of “Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you told them.”
Based on my Savvy Women Seminar here is an example of my three key points;

Step 3: Develop your PPP (Purpose, Process, Payoff)
Based on your three key points you can now define your PPP, the PURPOSE for the presentation, your PROCESS; what you will be discussing and the PAYOFF; what the participants will leave with. As we develop your PPP keep in mind that this will provide you with guidance as to your presentation but will also be developed into what you say at the beginning of any seminar or workshop:
Here is what it takes to define your PPP:
PURPOSE: Clarify why you are doing this workshop and what you hope to achieve, for example:
“The purpose of this presentation is to show women they are totally capable of making smart decision with their money by simply tapping into their natural strengths as women.”
PROCESS: Explain how the workshop will work, you can briefly state the topics you plan to cover and any activities that you may introduce. Be clear as to how long the workshop will last (and be sure and stay on time, this is critical).
“During today’s presentation I want to hear from you. This isn’t about me and what I think this is about you, your life and your money. I’m going to be asking lots of questions which will inspire some lively discussions that will inspire new thoughts and confidence. The workshop will end at ______ for those that have other commitments but I will still be available for those that want to learn more. “
PAYOFF: Articulate what they will leave the presentation with, these are really what I call your 3 key points and everything you create in the workshop should be directed to reinforcing these benefits or key points. This is a critical component as you develop your content.
“I want you to leave this presentation with:
Once you have defined your objectives, clarified your three key points you can then articulate your Purpose, Process and Payoff which leads to your educational component.
