Mastering Delivery
Overview
What is this course about?
This interactive course will cover a range of fun and interesting strategies and techniques to help you master delivery of your next presentation or public speaking event. It will focus on verbal and non-verbal communication skills and demonstrate how to make small changes which will have a big impact on your next presentation.
Who should attend?
This is the perfect course for anyone who has been hit with that sinking feeling when a presentation or public speaking event is looming and there is no way to escape it. Whether you are presenting to a small group of colleagues, a huge room full of people or at a management meeting, this course will help you.
We will give you strategies and techniques to overcome the jelly legs, shaky voice and rapid breathing, helping you to become a confident, dynamic and engaging presenter. Whether you have done one or one hundred presentations in the past, you will discover new techniques or approaches to ensure your next presentation is a hit.
This course is also the ideal progression for anyone who has completed our one day Perfecting Design course.
Need a tailored course?
Whilst we have designed this course to cover a comprehensive range of skills and strategies relating to mastering the delivering of powerful presentations, we understand that you may have specific areas you wish to target within your organisation. We can adapt our training to focus on specific areas for development, provide an additional follow up training programme or offer coaching and mentoring for subsequent presentations.
