Do you deliver presentations at conferences, meetings, events or for learning programs? Would you like to sharpen your skills to create a commanding presence? This course will equip you with the tools needed to deliver with confidence.

Content

During this highly interactive course you’ll have ample opportunities to practice as we work through everything from warming up and preparation, voice and body control, gestures and visuals, to reading an audience, and conveying authority and power. You’ll learn how to strengthen your presence, engage an audience, communicate effectively, structure content to suit a purpose and increase your persuasiveness.

Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

transform how an audience perceives you by using only your body language
increase your confidence, even when presenting unfamiliar content
effectively utilise inflection, breathing techniques and gestures for maximum impact
set the scene to convey particular moods and use tone to produce volume and command authority
implement tactile and emotional language to engage an audience
select and use best-practice props, slides and cutting-edge tools to increase effectiveness
benefit from constructive feedback given by the facilitator and peers during the course.

Audience

This course is ideal for L&D professionals looking to improve their delivery skills, HR managers taking up more face-to-face responsibilities or executives wanting to up their presentation game. Whether you’re already comfortable in the front of a room or you’re moving into delivering higher-stakes presentations, where refined and developed skills are a must, this course will enable you to present with impact.
