Do you dislike delivering presentations?

Maybe you have to do it as part of your job, but you REALLY don’t want to?

Or perhaps you simply want to manage your nerves when speaking in front of an audience?

Delivering persuasive presentations is a skill which can be taught and developed.  It can make a real difference to your career prospects.  On this half-day course, we will provide you with a safe space to practice and improve.  And afterwards, you will feel more confident standing in front of an audience and people who hear you speak, will notice an improvement in your presenting abilities.

Topics that we will cover: 

1. Building a winning structure for your business presentation
   We will share with you the techniques to develop your presentation from a blank sheet of paper to a fully blown presentation. We will cover the importance of an effective opening and powerful closing and describe how to develop the key message of your presentation.
2. How to manage nerves and tackle stage fright
   Even the most seasoned speakers are nervous before a big presentation. We will teach you some tried and tested tips and techniques to manage your nerves so you can concentrate on delivering to your full potential.
3. Top tips for giving a business presentation 
   We will walk you through everything you need to make a successful presentation, with a checklist for preparing in advance, advice on dealing with unexpected issues and the importance of post-speech and presentation contact.
