Who Should Attend: All those 'less experienced' presenters who are required to give presentations to small groups of up to 30 within internal or external meetings.
Objectives: 1) To provide delegates with practical techniques for effective preparation and delivery of their business presentations. 2) To enhance delegates ability to communicate confidently, clearly and precisely; to motivate, influence and persuade the audience and to handle questions & interaction effectively. 3) To provide practice and development of skills within a safe and enjoyable training environment.
Style: The training is highly practical and interactive using CCTV for delegates to view their performance. The programme itself is adjusted during delivery to meet individual requirements.
