Introduction to Presenting and Public speaking Why this
course? Bladonmore uses cameras on this programme giving you the
opportunity to see yourself on screen, so that you can break down
inhibitions and incorporate what you are learning. Seeing yourself
presenting effectively under the guidance of Bladonmore's executive
coaches and presentation experts will give you added confidence.
Planning
your presentation Preparation is the key to success. Understanding
your audience and your message properly prevents you drying up at the
moment of truth, or confusing your message rather than hammering it home.
This opening section of the course shows you how to research and rehearse
your presentation and make it second nature, allowing you to calmly and
confidently influence your audience.
Styles and techniques of
presenting Looking at examples of history's great presenters, we
evaluate their approaches and styles showing why they were so effective.
This section identifies areas of your strength, as well as areas you could
improve, helping you to define your own style and distinguish yourself
from the crowd. The 'golden rules of presenting' are clarified, as well as
the 'soft skills' that accompany your message, such as your appearance,
tone, rhythm and projection.
The use of visual aids and handouts
Using visual aids and handouts effectively and sparingly can help the
audience retain your message. This section demonstrates when, where, why
and how presenting aids can help. We focus on aids such as PowerPoint, and
help you to use it effectively, ensuring you avoid the dreaded "death by
PowerPoint".
How to handle questions and answers A
successful presentation is not the only concern. Many fall foul of the
question and answer sessions that follow. We help you to prepare for this
and develop ready responses to difficult questions, giving you the
confidence to stick to your message.
Wrapping up and appendicies
The session ends with an open forum, where any aspects of the course can
be revisited, and all remaining questions can be answered. We also look at
the appendices that accompany course texts and suggest practice techniques
to complement the course notes. The material is intended to be a useful
reference tool for the future.
Bladonmore is also happy to be contacted
with any questions after the course is finished.
