“This was a really practical and hands on day, the section on thinking like a designer really made me understand how to use my slides to help me and my audience. Iʼve become a born again presenter who will now probably annoy the rest of my team as I tell them to lose the bullet points”

presentation skills 2-day course

The 2 days really give you the time to absorb and explore all avenues of great presentation.

On our courses we'll always share with you the best presentation ideas and techniques in the world. Critical to your success, however, is having the chance to try some of these on for size.

Two days gives us and you the chance to see those new techniques take hold. You’ll have time to really practice different ways of creating and delivering memorable talks.

We can really challenge you to make a dynamic shift in not only what you do but also the way you think and feel when you do it.

who is it for?

The two day Presentation Course is for anyone who needs to persuade and influence others. This is often at a senior manager level and above, although it can be at any part of the business where there is a requirement to write content and use slides to visually illustrate story. The day is designed for you to practically understand the art and craft of delivering powerful presentations.

The course will give you the tools and techniques to speak with purpose, gravitas and to engage your audience to your story with clarity and confidence, however challenging the situation.

The Two Day course enables participants to go deeper into presentation technique. We give all those who take part the chance to create or rebuild a recent presentation or one for the future.

The days provide the platform and space for you to really develop the craft of creating a powerful and compelling story. Whatever your aim this course will help you to really connect and engage with your audience to achieve your goal. Our job is to help you give a presentation that matters and makes a difference.

where do you start?

Prior to starting the training we like to have a conversation with you. Why?

We really like to spend some time getting to know you before you even arrive for training.  We like to find out as much as we can about your role, your needs and challenges and of course what you hope to achieve from the course. Gathering as much information as we can before you arrive enables us to design a great days training that works for each delegate on the day rather than rolling out a ‘one size fits all’ programme and hoping it works for you on the day.

what happens afterwards?

We know that skills develop with time - that's why we continue to offer you support after we've worked together. We see it as our responsibility to your ongoing development as a presenter.

So whether you want to send us through a video of your last presentation to get our view or want design tips on your latest slide-deck, we will always be just a phone call or email away for advice. You'll also be first on our list for any promotions or free events we have coming up.

What to do when your agenda gets hijacked

Sometimes, when you’re facilitating a meeting or running a longer session with people, your carefully worked-out sequence and structure can get thrown off course by the people you’re with. How do you get them back on track while still keeping in the flow? > Read more
