Presentation Skills Training Course

Overview

Part of the Leadership Development series

During this course you will learn how to prepare a presentation and present information, with confidence, to an audience.  This course is about preparation and delivery (not MS PowerPoint).  The principles of preparing and delivering a presentation are relatively straight forward, the real learning comes from practice and watching others.

Audience

This course is appropriate for anyone who has to present information, whether formally or informally.

Learning Objectives

By actively participating in this course, you will learn about the following:

• Prepare, structure and deliver a professional presentation.
• Present information with confidence and impact.
• Manage nerves when presenting.
• Use appropriate visual aids to get your message across.

Pre-Requisites

You will need to bring a presentation with you on a non-business related topic of your choice that lasts between five and ten minutes.  Please bring any visual aids you need with you.  There will be time on the day to adjust your presentation and practice it, but there is unlikely to be time to start from scratch.
