Our Programme
We offer your organisation a number of speaking skills courses with flexible structures designed to maximise the training opportunity. These courses can normally be held at your premises and last from half a day to two days.
Good public speaking is a vital element of effective communication. Modern businesses increasingly recognise that the ability to present, negotiate, inform or convince is vital to the success and development of an organisation, both internally and externally.
With this in mind our training programmes follow a flexible structure that can be adapted and expanded as required for each group.
The initial focus is on 2 main areas:
- fundamental techniques for standing up and speaking with ease and confidence.
- developing a solid, flexible speech structure that is both simple to establish and easy to use.
Our training is highly interactive and provides individuals with many opportunities to practise. This includes valuable feedback for each individual speaker. This is interspersed with short presentations on concepts of public speaking and communication as the issues and needs arise.
Typical topics covered include:
7 Signs of a Successful Speaker
- Style and structure of an effective presentation
- Body language
- Use of voice and vocabulary
- Introducing a guest speaker
- Thinking on your feet
- Learning to relate to your audience
- Overcoming nerves
All of the sessions are video-ed 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.
