Description of the Course:

Over the two days delegates are taken through all aspects of preparing and delivering powerful presentations, namely planning and preparation, using notes and memory aids, using visual aids, how to communicate and use the voice, body language, the different styles of presentation, handling questions.  

The course is highly participative in nature and delegates will have plenty of opportunity for practice. Practice sessions are recorded on CCTV and replayed for review. Delegates can feel quite apprehensive about practicing using CCTV, however it is introduced and used in a positive and non-threatening way and delegates quickly feel at ease and develop the confidence needed to present professionally. 

Delegates will need to bring a short presentation to the course – either one they are planning to make, have made, or want to make. A good duration for this presentation is around five to six minutes. If delegates normally use their lap-top for their presentations, we recommend that they bring this with them. As this is a “Presentations Skills” course, normal business dress should be worn.

Delegate numbers are strictly limited on this programme to ensure that each person receives sufficient support and opportunity to practice the techniques taught.
