Description:

This one-day course on presentation covers an important business skill which is vital for a developing business professional.

All businesses need to advertise their wares and all buyers need to advertise their willingness to buy. Within the organisations themselves, everyone has a need to be heard but also to understand the messages of others. Presentation is a powerful skill which allows us to communicate our message at all levels. It embraces communication, technology, psychology, language, humour, showmanship and probably more. It is not easy; many fear public speaking more then anything else they do. But we all know it is an essential skill which will lead to a greater degree of success.

This one-day course is intended to provide the basic knowledge needed to provide a good quality presentation. Interestingly most great speakers started out as poor speakers and so there seems to be a natural transition. The course will look at the process of public speaking first and focus on the more business orientated speeches. It will learn the process of preparing, presenting and reviewing our speech and the tricks of the trade which help to make a speech a great speech. It will look at the resources available to you for building a competent speech, the importance of timing and the actual delivery. And it will look at stress.

The speech is important but you may have to provide visual images to reach more of the audience and so the course will also look at the use of technology, the content, visual,sound, movement and colour. It will also look at the speaker, the appearance, dress, structure, movements, personality, and more.

The audience is an important part of the presentation process. We need to understand what they are expecting, why they are there, what pre-conceptions they may have and we need to keep them engaged, throughout and beyond.

This is an enjoyable course and the knowledge is vital to a successful business career where presentation is an important component. This course will put you on the road to successful presentation.

An Attendance Certificate will be provided at the end of this skill course.
