Presentation Skills Training
Whether you are presenting proposals to prospects or recommendations to internal stakeholders, your ability to present is crucial to obtaining buy-in and agreement.
This practical two day presentation skills training workshop is for people who want to present effectively and inspire their audience to take action.
Richard will give you a detailed insight into the factors that contribute to a successful presentation and coach you to a higher level of performance.
You will learn key presentation techniques from a speaker and trainer who presents daily to audiences in workshops and conferences, and provides presentation coaching to clients that pitch for major infrastructure projects and major sponsorship and fundraising proposals.
Key areas covered in the presentation skills workshop include how to:
- Set clear presentation goals
- Prepare and structure a persuasive presentation
- Build a logical argument to meet your audience needs and your goals
- Deliver a presentation using appropriate body language, speech, voice and visual aids
- Bring your presentation to life
- Build rapport and engage the audience
- Overcome nerves and maximise your performance
- Handle questions effectively
- Move smoothly from the presentation to closing the sale
To ensure a quality training experience for all involved, the presentation skills training workshop is strictly limited to 5 participants. Each participant has a presentation videoed and critiqued on day 1 and 2 of the workshop and receives feedback and recommendations for improvement.
The next public workshop dates will be advertised shortly.
