Introduction
Does the thought of giving an important presentation breed butterflies in your stomach? We believe that you can’t entirely eliminate them - but you can get them to fly in formation.

Making a speech or delivering a presentation to any audience requires skill, professionalism and confidence. We know exactly how to inspire you with fresh confidence and enhance your performance. Practise is an essential part of the programme with constructive feedback given by the group and by the trainer on a one to one basis.

Typical Objectives:

	Defining the purpose of a presentation
	Targeting a presentation to meet the needs of the audience
	Recognising the elements of, and stages in, planning, preparing, practising and presenting
	Selecting, preparing and using appropriate aids
	Handling questions and ‘difficult’ members of the audience

Sample Programme
This programme is designed to provide you with the tools required to plan, prepare and deliver effective presentations. It is for individuals who deliver presentations both internally and externally.

Equally as important as formal presentations can be the skill to respond to the apparently casual question by your senior manager or client, “So how’s your team doing?” We’ll leave you with techniques to ensure you respond convincingly and with clarity.
