Who Will Benefit From This Course?
This course is for everyone who wants to improve their presentation skills whether at meetings, seminars, training courses, client presentations or larger audience functions.

Description of the Course:
The course is highly participative in nature in order to develop individual skills and techniques. Delegates will have plenty of opportunity for practice in a safe environment with plenty of support, individual attention and tutor feedback in order to build delegates confidence and ability to make a professional presentation.

Delegate numbers are strictly limited on this programme to ensure that each person receives sufficient support and opportunity to practice new techniques learnt. Delegates learning objectives are considered at the beginning of the course so that the tutor can address individual requirements and therefore ensure that delegates get the most out of the course.

Practice sessions are recorded on CCTV and replayed for review. Delegates not only learn from the tutor but also by their own discovery of appraising their own presentations. In addition, delegates learn from one another as they apply the techniques that that gain from this course. Very often delegates can feel quite apprehensive about practicing using CCTV, however it is introduced and used in a positive and non-threatening way in order to help delegates feel at ease.

Over the three days, delegates are taken through all aspects of presentation skills, namely how to communicate and use the voice; body language; the different styles of presentation; planning and preparation; using notes and memory aids; using visual aids; handling questions and objections.

This is the most important course that delegates will ever attend as the ability to present is a major cornerstone of their personal and professional development.

- To identify the key ingredients of a successful presentation.
