Presentation skills

In house Training courses in London, Manchester, Avon, Gloucestershire, Swansea, Maidstone

A one or two-day presentation course designed to improve the quality of your communication.

At work, you often need to accurately communicate your message to others, sometimes in a formal presentation, and sometimes in a non-formal way.
A few people are good at presenting ideas in public. Most people aren’t.

The difference is method, not “innate talent”.

In other words, if you do not have “the gift of the gab”, you can learn the methods that will make you an effective and confident communicator.
This course will help you do that.

Final Action Plans

The training method follows this general pattern:

1. The trainer gives a clear explanation of the point in question.
2. The trainer then demonstrates the principle and gives specific examples.
3. Then, the delegates practice by doing an exercise with each other.
4. The delegates practice by doing exercise with the trainer.
5. All points are supported with full written notes to take away.
6. Delegates are asked to write down an associated action, for each point made.
7. (At the end of the day, we have about twenty such actions, from which the delegates choose six which are the most personally meaningful).

Note: we do not believe in placing people in any situation of embarrassment by demanding that they 'perform' in front of the whole group. So you can relax: come on this course and be at ease; ready to learn new skills!
