Course description

The reluctant presenter – in-house training

This two-day presentation-skills course from Emphasis Training has been designed to benefit those who struggle with nerves when they have to present, which can hold them back from sharing expertise and ideas with a wider audience. This presentations course will build confidence and transform participants into outstanding presenters by drawing on the experience of those who have previously overcome their own fears.

Emphasis Training also ask individuals to complete an analysis exercise that means they can identify and work with each participant's particular strengths and styles. This exercise includes a questionnaire that draws out the details and likely preferences of their audience. And it incorporates an opportunity for participants to send in a slide deck for review.

From this, Emphasis produce an action plan that shows participants which areas to focus on both during the course and afterwards, as they start putting their new skills into practice.
