Two day course*

Who is it for?

Anyone who needs to stand up in front of business colleagues or customers in order to present information.

Course overview:

The ability to present your ideas clearly, confidently and with impact has got to be one of the most important business skills for anyone to develop – yet for most of us, it is when we feel most exposed and nervous, no matter how well we know our subject. This is the course for you, should you wish to significantly boost your confidence and ability to present with power, no matter how big your audience size, or important your message.

• How to structure your presentation so that you stay in control, keep your audience with you and get your message across
• Power point – how to make it work for you, adding to and not detracting from your message or sending your audience to sleep
• Confidence in presentation: How the best presenters move, talk, gesture and engage their audience, and how to be one of those presenters!
• Nerves – why we get them and how not only to handle them but allow that adrenalin rush to work for you.
• When it all goes wrong – even the best presenters make mistakes, miss things out, go blank, lose their next slide… how you handle these moments will define how confident your audience believe you are and we look at and practice handling anything that could come your way
• Handling your audience – interacting, asking and taking questions, handling confrontation or disagreement with ease and still staying in control
• Practice, practice, practice! Delegate no's are kept low to enable you to really practice your skills in a supportive environment with feedback from both your trainer and your co-delegates

Course Length:

*Ideally set as a 2 day course, this course can run, with a small group of delegates, over 1 day where required.

Our style:

At Performance for Business, we believe people learn by doing far more than by listening and that there should be as much emphasis on confidence in applying skills learnt back in the workplace as knowing the right techniques. Our courses are therefore interactive, challenging, fun and with the focus on skills practice as much as discussion.
