Course overview
Deliver powerful presentations that captivate and influence.
A presentation is a critical business tool. When well-executed, it builds credibility, enhances your client relationships, and clearly conveys your message.
Your presentation has the power to shape the way your audience perceives you and your brand – and the quality of all your subsequent communications. Differentiate yourself from your competitors by delivering compelling presentations that yield consistent positive results, whether your goal is to persuade, to sell, or to inspire.
High Impact Presentations first prepares you to structure effective presentations that communicate your concept with clarity and strength. You’ll then learn to present with the optimal use of voice and gesture to create a lasting impression and to tailor your style to suit any audience or situation, from a casual meeting to formal speech.
Over two intensive days, you will develop and workshop innovative presentations with a small, supportive class. An expert will videotape, evaluate and coach you until you’ve reached pitch perfection – the ability to deliver a masterful presentation.
Polish your presentation skills until they’re your sharpest tool in the business box. Enquire today to find the next opening.
