What is it?

A practical workshop to help you become more confident, enthusiastic and effective during

presentations. Working in a group of no more than 10 people the day will be a mix of

facilitation, input and coaching, helping you to get better. It is not a lecture, PowerPoint

or a talk.

It is designed to help you, now.

Why you should do it

For most of us, presentations are daunting. Fact: they are now a key competence in our

work. Except no one tells us quite how to get better at them or provides any feedback that

is of any use. This day aims to demystify the presentation process through understanding

of practical things you can do, immediately.

Some of the things we will cover include…

• What is a presentation and how do you prepare?

• Why do audiences connect? And disconnect?
• How to work with an audience and use them to achieve your aim.
• What are the key delivery techniques?
• What to do about nerves.
• How to introduce their idea, the point of the presentation?
• How do they structure the argument- what references do they use? What other processes
• do they refer to?
• Where does you inspiration come from?
• How do you prompt yourself and avoid realms of notes?
• How can you develop and play to your strengths, your style?
• How do they use Slides to enhance their argument?
• Can I avoid boring an audience?
• Questions, what to do about them, how to handle them.
