The fear of speaking in public is supposed to rank ahead of death, divorce and bankruptcy, yet in this virtual media age we still demand real people to stand up in front of us and command our attention. Being able to present effectively is a skill that you can use at every meeting, in all phone and conference calls. It is about condensing your message, focussing on what the other side wants to hear and being aware of when your message is and isn't getting through.
What are the audience looking for? How can we do justice to the time given us as speakers? This course looks at:
- Preparing effectively for what the audience really wants
- Establishing credibility and maintaining attention
- Controlling the flow of information to maximise impact
- Developing rich, pictorial language to make your audience care
- Managing nerves and “owning your space”
- Handling difficult questions with confidence and credibility
- Turning your presentation into a real dialogue
