ABOUT US

PRESENTATION SKILLS FOR THE LESS CONFIDENT SPEAKER

COURSE OVERVIEW

Like it or not, one experience that we all share is the requirement to stand up in front of an audience and talk, and for some this is a moment to be avoided. This special course focuses on actions and strategies that help steer the more nervous presenter to a stress-free positive conclusion.

COURSE BENEFITS

Skills:

After completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Analyse the reasons why we become nervous

  • Plan a talk in small logical stages

  • Use beneficial psychological processes to reduce tension and nerves

  • Deploy step-by-step tactics that generate the right tone and mood

  • Make use of strategies that ensure that you stay in control of your presentation

Support Materials:

This course is accompanied by a substantial manual that includes briefing notes and strategies for successful presentations.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This intensive course is open to all, although staff with less speaking experience will find it of greatest value. The heart of the course is in the build-up from short speaking exercises lasting no more than a few seconds to longer controlled sessions. The result is a course where participants learn, through practical application, how to shed their nerves and deliver a confident presentation.

This course is also available in a format suitable for individual in-house coaching.
