Persuasive Presentations - (2 Days)

A key objective of a presentation is to persuade and convince your audience.

This 2-day presentation skills course will help those attending develop, design and deliver persuasive presentations.

A very practical course; you will have the opportunity to make several presentations throughout the 2 days. These are followed by constructive feedback to enable you to take away a much enhanced presentation along with suitable skills to deliver.

Over the 2 days you will develop skills relating to both the image you put across and the substance and contents of the delivery. Also identified are the needs of the audience so that the presenter can relate to it.
