Everyone on the course will get several chances to do mini-presentations (could be just 30 seconds) to the group during the day, focusing on various techniques: watch your confidence grow as the day progresses.
My training will give you the tools you need to become a brilliant presenter. Together, we will create a brilliant presentation and you’ll learn the skills you need to do it again and again, wherever your career takes you.
This course will provide you with the skills and knowledge to confidently deliver high impact presentations which engage an audience, persuade and influence the decision to your advantage.
Without a dynamic and coherent presentation, even stellar ideas can fail to convince your audience. In this course, you will learn to organise your ideas to create persuasive oral presentations and use public-speaking techniques to strengthen your delivery.
This course will help you develop self-presentation skills and help you sell yourself, whether at work, in a job interview, in a community situation, socially, or indeed any type of situation where you are trying to get your message across.
