Strong communication skills - the cornerstone of personal success.

Do you want to increase your confidence in presenting to an audience?

Do you wish you felt more able to contribute in meetings?

Do you want to add true value to your company's bottom line?

Have you found yourself being asked to speak at a club, society or organisation event? Perhaps you are concerned about having to deliver a presentation at a conference. Then our popular presentation skills course is ideal for you if you are looking to build your knowledge and insights into the world of communication. There are many barriers to effective communication and through relevant, entertaining and interactive exercises, this presentation skills course exposes and underlines them.

If you are seriously affected by nerves, please see our Handling Nerves page.

Syllabus:

  • Ice-breaker exercise based on introducing another member of the group.
  • How to build confidence in giving presentations and diminish nerves.
  • Appreciate how to structure presentations so that the audience understands the messages that you wish to convey.
  • Using your voice to keep the audience focused on your presentation.
  • Building a rapport with the audience and winning them around to your way of thinking.

Your instructor will also provide sessions on the magic of words - how and why your choice of strong vocabulary can have a telling impact on your audience. There is also a session on the enduring legacy of Aristotle, and why his teachings are just as valuable today as they were 2300 years ago.

Many of these sessions are videoed and played back to the group for individual and group evaluation. This technique is one of the most powerful available and when deployed with frankness and sensitivity provides startling results. We can also include a session on the effective use of PowerPoint if required by our clients. These presentation skills courses fill quickly, so ring early to avoid disappointment.
