Presentation Skills

Presentation Skills

Dynamic presentation skills training, with emphasis on individual tuition and video coaching, to help participants communicate naturally and effectively on their feet or screen.

In every organisation there is a critical shortage of good presenters. Many people have excellent ideas, and they have the enthusiasm. But when they stand up, they lose them both.

This presentation skills course is the solution. The emphasis throughout is on individual tuition. Video recordings are used so participants can see themselves as others see them. The theme is theory, practice, theory, practice.
