Advanced Presentation Skills Training Workshop

This workshop will look to reinforce current skills and also develop a range of additional presentation techniques, to ensure delegates give memorable and powerful presentations, to varied audiences. Although this training will look briefly at the structure and design of presentations, it will be more focused on advanced delivery techniques, that are used by professional speakers, to engage their audiences. It will be assumed that a fair degree of experience has already been gained, in delivering to both large and small audiences and the workshop will be tailored, to the requirements and skill sets of the delegates on the programme. Attendees will learn a range of advanced techniques such as advanced facilitation skills, using humour effectively, dealing with audience sensitivities/hostility, working with audio equipment, managing questions effectively and a range of techniques including voice projection to ensure that their presentations achieve maximum impact. Attendees will be videoed throughout the programme and there will be constant feedback, group interaction and practical exercises.
