Presentation Skills

PRESENT WITH CONFIDENCE AND AUTHENTICITY

Delivering an exceptional presentation requires both good content that connects to your audience and strong technical presentation and communication skills. In this Presentation Skills course, you will learn how to understand your audience and create an engaging presentation that leaves an impact.

Join this course either as a half-day online course with a focus on virtual presentation, or a one-day in-person course if you’re looking to improve your face-to-face presentation skills. Both courses highlight the difference between presenting in-person and online, with small group sizes allowing for practical exercises, immediate feedback and coaching to improve technique.

At the end of this course, you will:

Use body language, gestures, eye contact along with voice to engage your audience.

Find your authentic voice to build a persuasive and lasting connection.

Craft your messaging so that it hooks your audience and keeps them listening.

“It was really well organised and taught, and directly about how to implement this in an online setting. The time flew by, and I am re-energised for presenting again!”

- Research & Innovation Director, Market research company

“The facilitator was exceptional – responsive to our individual needs and respectful. I couldn't recommend this course highly enough.”

- Senior Editor, Online retail guide
