We present in a business environment mainly to inform and often to persuade. The way we construct our message is critical to the success of our presentation, but that is just the start. How you present your message is just as important.
This course is intensely practical, with learners examining their own communication and presentation skills and ultimately harnessing their new skills, by delivering a presentation to the group on day 2. From planning the structure to making an impact on an audience, this course helps learners to present powerfully. Following the course, participants will be able to plan and prepare for speaking in meetings and presentations, speak with confidence and conviction, handle questions with ease, respond in a structured and confident manner, maintain poise and presence, and have greater control over their ability to manage pressure, nerves, and reactions.
It is highly recommended that delegates also attend our PowerPoint training to further enhance their presentations.
