Brilliant Presentations (2 days + 1 day optional)

Tuesday 31 August (09:00) - Wednesday 1 September (16:30)

Too often presentations are badly designed, prepared in a hurry and delivered without enthusiasm.  We’ve all seen presentations done badly, now it’s time for you to start giving brilliant presentations.

Whether you are an experienced presenter or a reluctant occasional speaker, you will find ideas and techniques to inspire you in this 2-day workshop with an optional Day 3 Masterclass.

    On the third day we will switch to a Master Class format.
    You will have the opportunity to make your presentation and receive coaching and feedback to hone your content and delivery into a truly brilliant presentation.  Numbers will be restricted for this event to allow each person adequate time.
    This is a rare opportunity to learn about formal presentations from Dianne.  She does not often offer this training as a ‘stand-alone’ workshop and the kind of coaching that will be featured in the Master Class is normally only available through a one-to-one programme.

What you will learn

    • Tthe 5 keys to creating and delivering a memorable presentation that gets results. If you’ve got a specific presentation to work on, you’ll leave the workshop with it all prepared
    • Practice different ways to deliver your presentation and find out which style suits you the best.  You’ll get personal feedback to help you understand the impression you make.
    • A simple 7-step process to structure your information and create a presentation that is easy for your audience to follow without being boring or predictable
    • Conquer any nervousness you may have about presenting.  Even if you’re an experienced presenter, this technique may still be useful to you
    • Discover the number one mistake most presenters make that kills their presentation before it can get interesting – and 4 different ways to avoid it
    • Find out the 5 main reasons why people ask question of a presenter and how to handle each type so that you retain control of your presentation
