ADVANCED PRESENTATION SKILLS
Course Outline
One characteristic that leaders share is good communication skills. That’s what makes their ideas and their thinking acceptable to those around them, and it’s what inspires and enthuses their teams. This course helps you to identify how to make your point succinctly, and how to get action rather than just applause, when you speak. It includes informal communication, such as Board meetings.
It will show you how to go FROM BLANK PAGE TO FIRST DRAFT IN 15 MINUTES!
Who should attend
This is suitable for every Manager, Director, business leader, salesperson, advertising executive, team leader and trainer. It will benefit anyone who is, or who wants to be, a leader. It is especially useful to those who operate in a competitive situation, and those who need to inspire and motivate others.
How delegates will benefit
This is beyond basic presentation skills, taking those techniques to a higher level. It is about getting your point across in meetings, in one-to-one situations, in dealing with crises and tensions, and in persuading others to your point of view. It will help you to speak with increased confidence and enhance your charisma. It will also help you to speak impromptu and without notes.
Training approach
The course will be highly interactive. Numbers should be limited, so that every delegate may receive personal attention. This will not be a lecture. Rather, it will stimulate what’s already in the delegates, and re-position their thinking and attitudes. When they think differently, they will do differently – and the benefit will start to apply immediately.
