Presentation skills

Course summary
Good presenters are like gold dust– extremely valuable but incredibly hard to find. Knowing one’s subject is one thing. Having the skills to present it clearly, enthusiastically and persuasively is quite another. Effective presentation skills can be learned and lack of confidence ( the single greatest barrier to successful presentations) can be largely overcome by training.

This highly practical course, which makes extensive use of both group and individual tuition, will show delegates how to win and hold the attention of their audience, and ensure that their message is always understood– remembered. It will also give them an on-going development tool to take away– their personal video of each of their presentations together with the course leader’s feedback.

Target group
Anyone who has to regularly stand up in front of an audience– of colleagues or customers, prospects or peers– and talk persuasively.

Training outcomes
On completion of the course delegates will be able to:

• Build the presentation to reach set objectives by using the correct communication methods
• Use voice and words to communicate the message with maximum impact
• Use gestures, mannerisms and other body language effectively to add to the personal projection
• Relate the presentation to the audience
• Select and use audio visual aids so that they enhance the presentation but do not become the dominant feature
