Course Content – Presentation Skills
Whatever type of audience you are facing, this tailored presentation training course will help you to understand what makes a great presentation and give you the opportunity to refine and practice your own style. Although certain theory elements would be covered, the majority of the session focuses on the content of your presentation, your delivery skills and how you handle questions from the audience.
The Theory
- Your Content: The research and preparation you need to do / Understanding what the audience wants from your presentation / Your messages and using positive language / The structure to guide an audience / Presenting with authority and personal impact
- Your Soft Skills: Confident body language and posture / Voice control / Keeping eye contact / Managing nerves and adrenalin / Presenting face to face and via video conference
- Q&As and Visual Aids: How to deal with questions / PowerPoint slides that support your presentation / Writing effective scripts and speaker notes / Handouts
The Practice Scenarios
The best way to improve your presentations is through rehearsal and feedback, these trials will take place throughout the training so that you can develop and grow your approach as you progress.
We advise as much practice as possible of the presentation, individually and as a team (if relevant), but we will also design realistic questions, which will test your ability to deal with Q&As or difficult audience members. These bespoke practice scenarios are normally recorded on camera for playback and review.
