The problem:

Being able to present well is a critical skill in almost any professional job, but 75% of us admit to a fear of public speaking, and most of us go to great lengths to avoid it.  In fact, studies show that 1 in 3 of us would go as far as to reject our dream job if it meant we had to do it.

The result?  Those who shout the loudest end up getting promoted, and a great deal of talent falls under the radar.  Great ideas fail to get aired in meetings with 10+ people.  Teams do beautiful work, and fail to do it justice when it's presented to clients; and companies miss out on marketing opportunities as their employees shy away from speaking at industry events.

The solution:

This beginner's course is designed to help your team build confidence in presenting and learn key techniques to present with impact. 

The main problem for people when it comes to public speaking is overcoming nerves, so this course begins by changing how your team members think and feel about public speaking so that they're more comfortable putting themselves forward for presenting opportunities.  The rest of the course is dedicated to developing their speaking technique as they take part in presenting exercises, analyse videos of effective presenters, and get critical feedback from an expert trainer. 

They’ll have the opportunity to practise giving an ‘elevator pitch’ on their organisation/job role and pick up techniques for speaking with gravitas in meetings.

This is highly practical course where team members will spend most of the day taking part in speaking exercises.

What will your team members take away?

• A mindset shift to help them experience public speaking more positively
• Strategies to overcome nerves
• Body language and voice techniques to be an engaging presenter
• Presentation structure template to use for business presentations
