Presentation Skills Training

Our mission of giving people the best shot at enjoying life could be directly linked to the oft quoted "fact" that most people are more afraid of presenting and public speaking than anything else.

Ok, so perhaps not everyone quakes when presenting. But certainly if you are inexperienced, it can be nerve wracking. And as you progress, the audience and the importance of the presentation gets bigger.

We can help you improve your presentation skills. If you're new to presenting, we'll give you a proven methodology for structuring your content, creating better visuals (not just PowerPoint!), sure fire delivery tips and some simple techniques for calming the mind.

For the more experienced, our programs focus on personal presence, how to create some theatre and "stagecraft" and even handling tough customers in the audience.

The content of our Presentation Skills Training program is tailored to the type of presentations you'll have to deliver and the style and culture of your business. We tap into some great presentations from both history and films and of course allow people to see themselves via video feedback.

What you get is a visible lift in the quality of your presentations skills and will actually start enjoying presenting.

How does our presentation skills training work?

  • Confidence building: tips and techniques to "anchor" confidence so that you perform to your potential.
  • Delivery tips: an overview of some of the key technical and interpersonal aspects of presentation so that you present well during the first trial run.
  • First presentation: each person presents utilising at least 3 of the techniques discussed and using one visual aid. You’ll get immediate feedback, with good points first and then 2-3 areas for improvement.
  • Structure: how to structure your presentation so that it engages the audience, gets across your key messages and creates the outcome or response you require.
  • Using language effectively: some tips to ensure that what you say carries your message effectively.
  • Using visual aids and PowerPoint effectively: creating a sense of theatre.
  Here’s an amusing example of the pitfalls, you can use the integrated voting tool to register your own degree of guilt in the areas covered and then compare yourself with others.
