Presentation Skills

What do your presentations skills say about you? How large is the gap between your own self-perception and others’ perceptions? These are important questions and the answers can make the difference between the success or failure of a presentation. Communication and presentation skills are often deciding factors in hiring and promotion decisions.

Presentations skills coaching is structured in one of two ways. For senior executives, this is usually in a one-to-one format. For managers and sales executives, up to six people participate in a two-day programme. Using video feedback, participants develop a greater awareness of their strengths and their areas of improvement. Practical, personal strategies are developed to help each participant develop their own individual style in order to have greater personal impact.

Typical outcomes include:

• greater self-confidence
• awareness of personal presentation strengths
• identification of areas where greater impact can easily be created
• improved structure based on objectives and key messages
• key messages are delivered more clearly and powerfully
• increased personal impact and presence
• more ease with practicalities and handling the unexpected
• improved understanding and analysis of audiences considerations
• audiences enjoy presentations, feel more involved and in rapport with the presenter
• effective use of voice and body language
• more effective team meetings, internal company presentations and external presentations
• improved results and feedback from managers and colleagues
• greater confidence for participation in, and in running meetings
