Presentation Skills
Good presentation skills are a vital element of effective communication. Modern businesses increasingly recognise that the ability to present, negotiate, inform or persuade is vital to the success and development of an organisation, both internally and externally.
Weekend courses are a popular choice for busy executives who cannot find the time in their weekday schedule, and also for smaller business owners looking to make the most of a weekend opportunity for self-development.
We offer two type of scheduled course - Introductory Presentation Skills Workshop and Advanced Presentation Skills Workshop. We also tailor courses to meet the needs of companies offering flexible structures designed to maximise effectiveness. These courses and workshops can be held at your premises and last from half a day to two days.
Our training is highly interactive and provides individuals with many opportunities to practise. This includes valuable feedback for each individual speaker. This is interspersed with short presentations on concepts of public speaking and communication as the issues and needs arise. Typical topics covered include: The 7 Signs of a Successful Speaker 
- Overcoming nerves

- Body language
- Use of voice and vocabulary
- Thinking on your feet

Many of these sessions are videoed and played back to the group for individual and group evaluation. This technique is one of the most powerful available and when deployed with frankness and sensitivity provides startling results. We can also include a session on the effective use of PowerPoint if required by our clients.
