Advanced Presentations Skills

Course Description
An advanced presentations skills course to help experienced presenters fine tune their presenting skills, and gain feedback on their presentations. The course will focus on knowing their audience thoroughly, identifying the right message, and making sure it hits home. Delegates will examine how to keep their audience's interest and attention throughout the presentation, by using their voice, body language, structure, and visuals effectively. In addition, they will practise keeping control and handling questions. The course will be active, practical and fun, and delegates will have the opportunity to present at least three times.

What delegates will gain from the course:

• the opportunity to examine their presenting strengths, and get feedback on their performance
• the chance to work on their weaknesses, and to practise different ideas and tips to further improve their presentations
• greater confidence in making memorable and interesting presentations
