Presentation Training

Most of us when faced with the prospect of having to make a presentation feel daunted.  Where do we start?  How do we begin to get our messages over?

We have so much information that we want to include, so much pressure caused by worry about how our personal performance will be measured, and so much day to day work to be getting on with, that we may push the whole project to the back of our minds ending up with a last minute effort and a feeling afterwards that we wished we had prepared it better.

Or, we may fail to whittle down our points and try to cram so much in that no-one in the audience has a chance of taking on our valuable information.

This course is designed to give a framework for preparing for any type of presentation, be it to an important committee, a public meeting or even a world conference.

The course style is essentially practical.  Trainees (6 maximum) will have the opportunity to test their personal performance skills, be introduced to the preparation techniques to provide a clear structure to their talk, and be guided through the maze of visual aids.

The course will contain advice on how to create a good impression – hold the audience’s attention and make all points thoroughly and effectively.
