Managers are increasingly called upon to present to groups of
customers, staff, colleagues and higher management. The success of
the presentation often depends more on presentation skills than
the message.
Overview
In competitive situations, it is usually the quality of
the presentation, not the solution proposed, that wins. Even
internal presentations may be competitive. A presentation, done
well, can achieve what cannot be achieved in written
communication. As decision-processes increasingly involve more
people, the presentation has become a preferred method of
communication. A good presentation can motivate staff. A bad
presentation can de-motivate. This Presentation Skills course uses advanced
techniques and psychological principles in an interactive manner.
Participants will learn key skills and develop their personal
style.
Who Should Attend
Anyone involved in presenting-to-groups, also
experienced presenters who want to develop their style.
