Develop Your Presentation Skills

A course in building effective Presentation skills

Why offer a seminar on presentation skills?

If you’re a professional, whatever your specialty or position, you’ll probably find that presentations come with the territory. It’s rare that anyone today who holds a managerial position can conduct his or her career without essential public speaking skills. As business becomes increasingly more complex and international, the need to communicate in concise terms that a broad audience can understand is becoming more critical. A presentation is an opportunity to animate and convey ideas to an important and sometimes diverse ensemble of professionals. During that time, it is essential that you have their full and undivided attention. This opportunity should not be taken lightly, as you may not get a second chance.

In this high tech world it is still the presenters themselves – the executives, engineers, sales reps, and others – who must come through with the knowledge, credibility, and persuasiveness to win over audiences. Audio and visual aids can only complement the wisdom and skill of those who use them. Although, those tools and the ability to use them properly may lead to better presentations, without essential public speaking skills to effectively get the message across, they are, at their best, of only marginal value.

« You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can’t get them across, your brains won’t get you anywhere » Lee Iacocca, former chief executive officer of Chrysler Corporation.

Throughout this seminar, the key fundamentals of effective public speaking and related techniques will be explored. The tools you acquire will help you enhance your structure, charisma, and overall impact, enabling you to become more comfortable and convincing when speaking before a group in English and/or French.
