A comprehensive 2-day
program:
Delivered over two highly interactive days you will do a
number of presentations, each designed to add to your skills and
confidence. Every presentation is captured on video for your
reference.
The workshop culminates in
each delegate putting their new skills to work by conducting
a longer
presentation, also recorded and presented on a personal DVD.
Why is this a 2-day program?
Through experience delivering previous presentation skills workshops it has been found this time is required to cover the techniques,
provide significant personal involvement, and achieve practice with the
range of new behaviours needed to improve presentation performance.
Importantly, this 2-day format allows greater focus on each participants
real-life presentation requirements. It is a comprehensive program for
people who need to improve their overall presenting skills.

design and deliver face-to-face business and technical presentations to clearly communicate your
message and gain buy-in and commitment from your audience.
This presentation skills training
workshop is ideal for:
Technical, scientific and professional staff
- to avoid data overload, communicate with
your audience, and be
more persuasive. Sales people and service providers - to establish credibility, gain client commitment,
and win more business. Managers, consultants, coaches and advisors - to look professional,
communicate ideas clearly, and get proposals
approved.

scheduled workshop? Here are a few options.
If your company has a team of 5 or more staff that require training
it is often cost effective to request an in-house
training workshop.
If you require urgent personal assistance to prepare for a
presentation or speaking opportunity a private presentation
skills coaching clinic is suitable.
Testimonials:
Read what workshop participants have to say...
"I LOVED the course, I really did. Thank you for making it such an enjoyable and relaxed
experience. You have a real way of putting people at
ease. I entered the room afraid and I left with a smile! Now I feel confident that I only feel my nerves (they don't show)
- and it was good being forced out of our comfort zone." Colette
M. Sydney
"The best part was doing the practical presentations and seeing
real life presentations by professional speakers. This workshop has
increased my confidence to do presentations, and has armed me with a
more complete toolbox with ingredients to tailor a recipe for my
requirements." Tim Y. Brisbane
"The workshop was concise and to the point. It has helped me
already to sharpen my presentations." Charles D. Brisbane
"It was a very interactive training session, plus being given the
detailed manual along with websites is great. This course has given me the
confidence and tools to present our company's services and products with
more impact." Richard N. Sydney
""I have learned to enjoy the process, and that people want
you to succeed. And that I need to show more expression in my voice,
and relax!" Eric B. Brisbane
"The feedback was constructive and positive. Although it was
daunting, having the opportunity to practice is great." Nicole V.
Brisbane
"The best part was the opportunity to practice giving presentations
and receiving immediate feedback. I still have some work to do, but the
course has given me confidence that with adequate preparation I can give
successful presentations and talks." Graeme C. Sydney
"Can't believe I'm saying this... but actually having to 'do it' a
few times over was the best part of the workshop, as well as beginning
slowly and gently." Jayne C. Brisbane
"Very interactive. Critiquing style is great. Lots of involvement.
Planning my presentations and emphasising key points are going to be key
things to help me deliver better." Roy A. Sydney
"I thought the interactive sessions were best. The practical sessions
were really helpful and broke up the listening parts of the
workshop." Tim U. Brisbane
"The best part was doing the presentations after being shown the
points. Now I have more confidence for future presentations and will plan
and structure the presentations differently, and start with more
impact." Mark S. Sydney
"I'd say the best feature was being 'forced' to speak, and the
slow ramp up to the 'big presentation'." David H. Brisbane
"What I liked best was practicing each component and getting to move
outside of my comfort zone. Now I can more effectively use slides, control
my speech, and put more emphasis on opening and closing the
presentation." Martin P. Sydney
"The best part - as painful as it felt - was practicing in front
of the group." Michelle W. Brisbane
"I will spend more time knowing my material because the course has
given me the belief that I can be a good presenter. The best part was
making three presentations with focus on the new learnings." Louise
N. Sydney
"I liked the presentation practice, especially on an unknown
topic, mostly out of your comfort zone." - Alison S. Sydney
"The best aspect of the course were the practical presentations to
identify areas for improvement and to put key tips into practice. It's
been a great help in giving me confidence, ideas and tools to prepare more
interesting presentations." Mark M. Sydney
"I didn't like the practice sessions but they were great to
do." Lyndall P. Brisbane
"Now I will use the Know - Believe - Succeed slogan and will focus
on the audience and what I'll try to get across, instead of worrying about
how I feel." Rhoda M. Sydney
"The best part of the workshop was the passion of the presenter.
From the course I've learned to be more prepared for future
presentations." Alfonso H. Sydney
"This workshop has helped me understand my style of presenting and
suddenly gives me more confidence for my next presentation." Tricia
T. Sydney
