Introduction
The world of presentations becomes ever slicker with continuous technological innovation and increasingly accessible and impressive software. This is no substitute, however, for confident and skilful presentation ability. This programme is designed to equip participants with the presentation skills they need to get their message across persuasively and with conviction. It is specifically designed for people who are relatively new to the challenge of effective presentations.
The programme is highly practical, involving the participants practising those skills particularly relevant and applicable to their needs.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the programme, participants will be able to:
Define, specifically, the objective of a presentation
Plan systematically and structure a presentation
Analyse, target and manage their audience
Manage the time factor
Design visual aids with impact and use them to support their presentation, not swamp it
Handle questions & answers effectively and manage challenging audiences
Use interpersonal skills to "come across" with confidence and empathy
Programme Content
The programme offers participants all the structural elements of effective presentations including clear goals and outcomes, and audience definition. It emphasises the importance of preparation and introduces visual aids, not as stand-alone elements that can mask a presenter, but as enhancing tools to underpin the message.
The most important part of the programme, however, deals with confidence and how presenters can use adrenalin positively to enhance their individual style.
