Overview
Many people find presenting difficult and sometimes highly nerve wracking, but it is an essential skill that is often required to progress at work. This workshop will provide you with the tools and techniques to manage nerves, engage and hold your audience’s attention, and deliver presentations that make an impact whether you are communicating to a large group or at meetings.
We start with lots of exercises to help improve body language, project our voice, intonate and speak with conviction, focusing on the performance that is a key part of presenting. Next, we move on to looking at how to plan, structure and prepare your presentation so you engage and hold your audience.
We focus on including the “why”; why should someone listen and why they will benefit or be interested in what you are saying to gain their attention from the beginning. There is a section on how to manage and reduce nerves that tackles the irrationality of getting scared about talking in front of a group when we are all good informal speakers. To conclude the day, you will have a chance to practice presenting and getting feedback in a safe and supportive environment.
