Overview
Business presentations can serve a multitude of purposes, such as driving the audience to: buy your product/service; support your new business idea; invest in a new venture; join your team; etc. And in today’s competitive business world, the ability to make powerful presentations that are engaging and achieve the intended outcome has never been more important.
In this course, you will learn and practise all aspects of business presentation skills to launch you on your path to presentation excellence!
On Day One, after fully understanding the powerful potential for presentations, we focus on the techniques needed to fully inhabit the space in front of an audience in a powerful way to hold the room – exploring the use of voice, body language, movements, etc.
On Day Two, after discovering how to create content with a clear structure, a narrative thread, and proper transitions between the stages, you will learn how to supplement your stage presence and content with excellent visual aids, and how to avoid the pitfalls of using PowerPoint.
On Day Three, we add the final element: the four steps in the technique of persuasion in a presentation, to get the audience to do what you need them to do. We round the course off by exploring a number of essential practice areas, including dealing with curveballs and handling your interaction with the audience. Finally, you will present your final presentation and receive your roadmap for your future presentation skills career.
