This practical one-day presentation course will improve participants’ public speaking skills and knowledge. The training includes effective presentation techniques to enable delegates to present professionally and confidently, as well as engage well with the audience.
Participants will also have the opportunity to make three short presentations and will receive feedback on their current presentation style, as well as ideas to enhance their delivery.
This training course is perfect for those with experience of presenting, who want to improve their communication delivery style and the impact of their business presentations.
We also run presentation skills training courses for those new to making presentations, as well as offering advanced presentation techniques, public speaking training and coaching. Furthermore, for individuals who make sales presentations, we will adapt the course to meet your specific needs and assign you one of our sales training consultants.
For those wanting to acquire advanced presentation skills quickly, we can extend this training to two consecutive days or provide a follow up training day with some additional coaching.
