Delivering Virtual Presentations with Maximum Impact

Cancelled

Summary :

Ours is a ‘people’ business. The presentation is normally the key point of contact with the client or stakeholder and therefore should provide an ideal opportunity to add value, make an impact & build relationships. If you can’t deliver face-to-face and can only present remotely & virtually, the need to connect and communicate effectively becomes an even greater challenge.

This highly practical, hands-on workshop enables participants to develop & refine their virtual presentation delivery skills, providing a unique opportunity to practice in a safe environment.

Attendance numbers will be strictly limited to give each participant the opportunity to deliver more than once, as well as to review their recorded performance supported by tailored, one-to-one coaching and feedback from the course tutor. There will also be a very small amount of pre-course preparation.

Objectives :
By the end of the workshop, participants will have analysed and improved their virtual communication style, increasing both their capability and confidence in delivering effective, engaging and memorable presentations and debriefs remotely.

The main aims of the workshop are to help participants to:

  • define and deliver the essence of an effective, client-focused presentation;
  • present research findings & insights that focus on the key client / stakeholder issues;
  • understand the importance of voice, facial gesture and body language to an effectively delivered virtual presentation;
  • acquire techniques to overcome nerves & handle questions;
  • practice & experiment in a totally safe environment;
  • analyse personal strengths and development needs;
  • recognise and develop their own unique presentation delivery style, that builds on, and leverages, their own personality.

Who will benefit?
Anyone, regardless of seniority or expertise, who would like to improve their personal impact when delivering presentations remotely. The workshop is suitable for both ‘beginners’ & the more experienced who are looking for an ‘MOT’ to sense-check and critique their current effectiveness.

Learning Method :
Discussions; Tutor Lectures, Personal Presentations; Recording with 1-2-1 Coaching & Feedback
