WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This two-day course is suitable for all organisational employees who present information in a public setting or those who would like to develop their public speaking skills
OUTLINE OF TRAINING CONTENT
Today′s dynamic business world requires speakers who can present themselves with impact and display self-confidence. Everyone is exposed to a “moment of truth” throughout our career where we have to stand up and speak, whether in a formal setting delivering a presentation, providing inputs during meetings, or addressing delegates in small group context, The secret is that good speakers are not born as it is not a talent, but a skill that has to be learnt and practised… a skill that can be used in all walks of life.
Does stage fright paralyse you? Or, do you want to touch-up on your public speaking and learn how to research, compile and design your own presentation? Either way, then this Course is meant for you.
This is a practical training intervention where delegates are provided with the theoretical guidelines and practise the gained knowledge. Remember that one can only be a great speaker if one learns from every presentation. Video recordings are used to assess own improving performance.
