SYNOPSIS

Public speaking, engaging audiences and speaking with confidence may not be activities that we frequently face. Yet business reality demands that we be active in meetings, client pitches and team briefings, which all require us to be able to speak confidently, assertively and ensure that our messages are understood.

This interactive workshop is designed to provide an understanding of the principles of presenting to and engaging an audience. We cover the platform techniques required to engage an audience and deliver a powerful message using both visual and non-visual aids. Throughout the workshop, you will present and practice new skills and you will leave with a recording of your presentation with feedback from the facilitator and group.

This two day course is designed to help you develop skills that will enhance your delivery and reaching out to your audience effectively. Participants will be engaged in a full array of hands on class experience to improve presentation skills, social interaction skills, visual aid preparation etc. In addition, a Prezi Training sessions are included with hands-on, interactive, and fun – with plenty time to put your new Prezi skills into practice and receive 1-1 feedback from the trainer. Throughout the session you’ll learn all the technical skills required to master Prezi – including how to insert images, sound and more, enabling you to complete a great presentation of your own as you learn.

As a great deal of class time will be spent in a variety of interactive formats, active participation is essential.
