About the Course
At work we are often required to present our ideas, solutions or services to colleagues or clients. Delivering
client sales pitches, making presentations to senior managers or contributing to formal meetings can all be daunting
experiences even when you are confident in your material. Having a structured framework and the right skill set will
give you the self-assurance and security to deliver effective presentations that convince and compel your audience.
Upon completion of this course, attendees will have learned:
- The confidence to deliver effective presentations
- Strategies for managing nerves

- Methods for highlighting and emphasizing key messages
