Description
Presentations are a constant in business – from small-scale project meetings to companywide announcements, yet the principles for effectiveness remain the same. In this program, participants will learn how to craft and deliver a presentation that resonates with an audience and inspires them—whether it’s one person or one thousand—to think, feel, or act in a certain way.
Effective communication skills are a powerful career activator, and most of us are called upon to communicate in some type of formal presentation mode at some point along the way.
And now, with so many employees working from home or in hybrid mode, and business travel in decline, there’s a growing need to find new ways to make effective presentations when the audience may be fully virtual or a combination of in-person and remote attendees.
Whether you’re making a standup presentation to a large live audience, or a sit-down one-on-one, whether you’re delivering your presentation face to face or virtually, solid presentation skills matter.
During the course, participants will discover how to become more in-tune with their audience and tailor their message accordingly, and how to develop, organize and edit the content of their presentation to maximize effectiveness. They’ll also learn how to display confidence and compassion, overcome nerves, and effortlessly manage “disasters.”
