Whether it's presenting your reports to the Audit Committee or sharing your knowledge with a hundred colleagues at a conference, you have all the resources you need to become a great presenter: let us help you find them in a low risk environment. This hands-on course will take you step by step through the planning, preparation and delivery of presentations. It shows you how to make the most of visual aids and non-verbal communication, and gives you practice in handling question and answer sessions calmly and confidently.

Participants will need to prepare a short presentation before the course.

Objectives
By the end of the day delegates should be able to:
  • Plan and structure presentations to suit the audience
  • Prepare visual aids and handouts that enhance the message
  • Present themselves at their best and conquer nerves and stage-fright
  • Handle questions from the audience
  • Feel more confident that they can deliver a memorable presentation
Follow up workshops are available to which a smaller number of participants can bring real presentations to work on. You could polish up your preparation or dissect the learning from a presentation you have given.
