How to present for impact
Conduct effective presentations with confidence
[1 or 1½ days]

Do you have the confidence and tools to conduct an effective presentation? Every one of us has at some or other time been faced with situations where we have had to make a presentation. Although some of us might feel that public speaking is our greatest fear, this program will help you develop your skills and build your confidence to inspire and inform others.

This program is a lot of fun! The skills that you will learn on this program will boost your personal effectiveness. You will learn much from the workshop interactions and presentations of your fellow participants. During the day you will have several opportunities to develop your own mini-presentations with a view to conducting real presentations to your clients, colleagues or senior management. The program helps you to identify your development areas and provides you with opportunities to apply new skills. Feedback >> from participants.

"What I enjoyed about your presentation is that it went much more than skin deep. I was expecting some formularized method of teaching how to present. I was delighted to discover that you wanted us to talk from our hearts, about what really mattered to us. It was so refreshing! and I saw the other students in the class relax and start to focus on what they really wanted to express, not just talking about topics that didn't touch them. You were part instructor, part therapist, encouraging us to bring ALL of ourselves into our speech.
I felt a huge difference in myself between the start of the day and the end of the day. The entire day was engaging, I was not bored or distracted in the least. And you created a safe atmosphere for all of us to learn and grow."

"I attended this workshop yesterday and just wanted to let you know what a tremendous experience that I had there. I am VERY afraid of public speaking but, 6 weeks ago, I decided to challenge myself and committed to a conference *speak* in April. I have been completely overwhelmed since then and decided that a training course would probably be of some value. (Actually, I was very afraid to even attend a training on this subject.)
The presenter, Dene, was terrific and during the day I made SIX smaller and larger presentations, as did all the other attendees. Wow! I made it though and now feel so much more prepared to both "build" my conference program ... as well as to deliver it. Sincerely, Catherine"
