Overview
It is a myth that good presentations are made only by people with an innate natural ability and the ‘gift of the gab’.
Anybody can learn the secrets used by experts to become both competent and confident when speaking to a large audience, chairing a meeting or delivering face-to-face presentations.
The aim of this course is to provide participants with a conceptual framework, effective tools and techniques, and the opportunity to practice and refine their presentation planning and delivery. Its design supports real business presentations and can be adapted to actual presentations the students are scheduled to deliver.
Topics are addressed using interactive learning techniques which ensure that knowledge is transferred in an enjoyable and stimulating environment.
