Speaking and Presenting with Confidence

Speaking and Presenting with Confidence - 2 day course

During this two-day workshop we will help you to transform your presentation skills, adding greater control and confidence.

In a workshop environment you will plan, prepare, practise and deliver a number of presentations.

• Speak to groups with greater confidence and professionalism.

• Have the confidence to handle difficult topics and people.
• Focus attention on the key issues whilst gaining audience acceptance of your message.
• Keep your audience engaged with enthusiasm and clear communication.

This Speaking and Presenting with Confidence course is designed for individuals at all levels who are required to speak in front of others and wish to project a professional image and develop their skills and confidence.

Pre-course activity: Whilst planning, preparation and practise time is available on the course, you may wish to give some thought to the subject of your presentation you wish to practise.  Perhaps one work related and one leisure related subject.  Also please bring any information with you that you will need for your preparation or presentation.

Matt Plant: Presentations can be a terrifying experience for even the most senior people. Delegates turn up to my courses with a variety of objectives but dealing with nerves is normally in there somewhere.

I look to create a fun, safe and relaxed environment in order to take as much pressure off you as possible. For me the two most effective ways of improving your presentations are through practising your own and also by giving others good, honest feedback on theirs.

I promise you that you’ll leave with a long list of the effective parts of your presentations together with some constructive individual and specific areas to add impact.
