Presentation skills are life skills. They can be used to motivate a team, sell a new concept to a big customer, or justify a capital project to the Board. But when a business, the big sale, or a career depend on how well a presentation is made it can be very daunting.

Presentation skills however, can be learned by virtually everyone. The principles, many practical tools and tips, together with practice and video feedback are all covered in the one day workshop described below. Personal coaching is also available, covering the same topics.

Outline of one day workshop

1. Content and structure
Selecting the content, and structuring a presentation to be relevant, persuasive and succinct in meeting the needs of the audience and achieving the goal of the presentation. Focus is placed on how to start and finish a presentation with a flourish.

2. Personal impact
How to make a strong personal impact using eye contact, voice, gestures and movement, to add personal energy to a presentation. This topic covers techniques for managing nervousness, dealing with mannerisms and developing rapport.

3. Visual impact
Guidelines for using PowerPoint and other visual aids to add interest, excitement and persuasive power to any presentation.

4. Facilitation skills
Basic facilitation skills are covered. These cover asking and answering questions, handling objections, acknowledging input from the audience and using empathy in a group context.

During the day each participant will deliver two presentations and will receive video based feedback and personal coaching on each.

The workshop is designed for anyone in the corporate world who makes presentations: in sales, presentation of budgets or reports: or in team environments where commitment is required from a group. The one day workshop runs in groups of up to 8 people. Delegates receive a CD of their presentations after the workshop.

Workshops are run in-house. 

Personal Coaching  is an excellent way to reinforce skills learnt in a workshop and to apply them to personal coversations and relationships. Personal coaching is also available on it's own.
