Effective Presentations
Overview
Presentations, whether to colleagues, managers or customers/clients, are a highly effective way of communicating information to a group. Presentation skills are something that everyone can acquire. This programme provides participants with the opportunity to practice the preparation and delivery of formal and informal presentations.
Participants are given the opportunity to learn from practical exercises, some of which will be video recorded and made available for review after the programme. Due to the interactive nature of this programme and the personal guidance given by the course facilitator, the number of delegates will be limited to 8.
