Presentation Skills
Presentation Skills
Present With Impact & Confidence
Dynamic presentation skills training, with emphasis on individual tuition and video coaching, to help participants communicate naturally and effectively on their feet - or on 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 are given the opportunity to speak in front of others, they lose them both.
This presentation skills course is the solution. The emphasis throughout is on individual tuition. Video recordings are used so that participants can see themselves as others see them. The theme is theory, practice, feedback, repeat.
The overall aim is to help participants communicate naturally, to be ‘themselves’ when they present.
To explore how this fits into our full range of presentation and communication development programmes, visit our Presentation Skills Training page.
“I always thought I looked nervous when I presented and to know that I don’t has given me a new confidence. I wish someone had filmed me 10 years ago. I have techniques to help me feel prepared and less nervous.” - CR, Designer, Mad About Design.
