Advanced Presentation Skills

Who Should Attend

Sign up for this workshop if you have experience of presenting and wish to consolidate, refresh and add to your existing skills in a stretching and supportive environment.

Overview

This workshop concentrates on polishing each person’s presentation performance rather than how to design, prepare and structure a presentation which is covered in the Effective Presentation Skills workshop. Numbers are kept low in order to enable everyone to receive individual feedback and coaching to improve their technique and individual style. Detailed instructions will be forwarded to participants before the workshop with guidelines as to what they need to prepare and bring along. Each participant will receive a DVD of their presentation together with a compreshensive resource manual of course notes, tips and techniques that will support continuous development.
