Presentation Skills Training

Basic Presentation Skills Workshop

Half-day or one-day workshops. Our basic presentation skills workshop focuses on the fundamentals of preparing and delivering an effective presentation. Training topics include body language, eye contact, vocal projection, content, nervousness, and confidence. Through interactive exercises, participants learn strategies for delivering a strong, clear message, whether to a single listener or an audience of hundreds.

Advanced Presentation Skills Workshop

Half-day, one-day, or multiple-day workshops. Our advanced presentation skills class is designed for those who have considerable experience giving presentations or who have taken our basic presentation skills workshop. Participants bring materials from their own past or upcoming presentations and draw on them for in-class exercises, furthering the connection between the workshop and the workplace. In addition to reviewing delivery fundamentals, the course covers how to incorporate visual aids, respond to questions, and maintain control of a presentation.

Comprehensive Presentation Skills Workshop

Multiple-day workshop. Our comprehensive presentation skills workshop provides participants with a broad spectrum of training, from the fundamentals through more advanced topics. The course begins with a full day of basic presentation skills training, which is followed by one or more advanced training sessions over the ensuing weeks.
