Presenting & Communicating Confidently

Our dynamic presentation and communication skills development centre will help you feel more confident in structuring and conveying your message effectively, as well as presenting in creative and engaging ways that will leave a lasting impact on your audience.

Have you ever...

  • Struggled to get your message across?
  • Had a great point to share but got lost in the detail?
  • Stumbled over your words because your content lacked structure or clarity?
  • Sensed a disconnect between you and your audience?
  • Felt sick and had self-doubt prior to delivering a presentation?

 

You are not alone!

Whether you're a seasoned professional, a new starter, or someone simply looking to boost their confidence in written and verbal communications, this hands-on development centre will help you understand your audience, sell your message, nail tone and structure, and hone a presentation style that reflects your personality and enables you to engage your audience confidently.

 

A survey by Prezi revealed the following:

20% of respondents would do almost anything to avoid giving a presentation.

Nearly 70% of respondents agreed that presentations are critical to their success at work.

46% admit to doing something else when listening to a presentation.

So, if you want to:

  • Build your confidence as a presenter
  • Deliver your complex messages clearly
  • Structure your evidence, ensuring that your main point is understood
  • Be introduced to helpful presentation tools and techniques
  • Connect HOW you are presenting with WHAT you are presenting
  • Practice presentation techniques in a safe place
  • Tailor your presentation delivery to suit your style and your audience

 

Then, this 2-day course extravaganza is for you!

Communicating well is a skill that you can learn and perfect through practice, guidance, and a deep understanding of the principles that underpin great business communications and presentations.

Whether you're writing a report for an investment committee, delivering a conference keynote presentation, or communicating in your everyday life, your newfound prowess will set you apart from the rest, enabling you to make a significant impact in your personal and professional endeavours.
