If you type 'Presentation Skills' into a search engine, you will find links to something in the region of 80 million pages. Begin to explore these pages, and you will discover a wealth of extremely good advice on the topics that can help make presentations better. These will probably include areas such as appropriate pace of speech, good eye contact, effective gestures and open body language. Undoubtedly this is all good advice, but most websites (and many workshops) are very good at telling you what to do but not how to actually do it.
This is where this training is different.
By exploring and exposing what we do intellectually, emotionally and physically when we communicate effectively in more familiar and less daunting situations, the course brings to life five fundamental principles of effective presentations.It illustrates in a practical way how we naturally and consistently fulfil them, suggests methods of transferring them to high pressure situations and leaves attendees with memorable and tangible concepts with which to approach presentations in the future; be it in the next day, month or year.
I'm writing to thank you for your tutelage. I performed my end of year PhD seminar in front of the Biological Sciences department with great success a couple of weeks ago. As I couldn't even do a speech at my own wedding and have turned down being best man three times, then this was a big deal. But your advice helped me to rationalise the situation and slay the dragon. I also performed a recital for the 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) competition in front of a public audience a week later - very scary, but the pleasure came afterwards when it was done. So, I cannot thank you enough for your contribution to my emergence. I feel like the weight of a lifetime of fear has been lifted from my shoulders.
