Presentation Skills - 2 day workshop

Give your employees an edge over their counterparts in the competition. In several industries, especially service, industrial equipment and project based, presentations play a vital part in representing final product or service quality. Knowledge, credibility, and assurance are immediately apparent when presenting, and many customers treat a presentation as a reliable indicator.

Optional PowerPointTM : - We have a special highly effective course on this, which can be bundled with the Presentation Skills workshop. In this case the number of days would increase by 1. You benefit by bundling the PowerPoint course because you get the entire package at a lower rate than if you were to take them separately.

What is special about the Presentation skills course?

Quite a lot. For one thing its much more than just a course. It combines instruction with experiences and reinforcing exercises in a staged and planned manner. Participants get instruction in those areas of Presentations skills that are scientific, and experiential training in those that are behavioural. For example we have a confidence building exercise built in at four levels right through the workshop. So that by the end of the workshop, participants are ready to take on the crowd alone.

Technology - we make use of technology wherever possible to give participants instant feedback and to reinforce improvements. For example we show participants how their voice sounds in real time by looking at a voiceprint and pointing out where they can work on speed and projection.

Personalised attention - We specify a small batch size to companies and organisations for whom we conduct this workshop. This helps us work individually with each participant in required areas.
