What's covered in this training?
Presenters in the new millennium compete with media-savvy and visually literate audiences. It is crucial that presenters recognise that in order to communicate effectively to stakeholder audiences, they must employ a vital and energetic public speaking style which builds rapport and truly connects with the target audience. This course uses practical and interactive techniques to enable presenters to achieve a fresh and energised take on the skill of giving presentations!

- be able to match your message and presentation to the client/audience demographic
- be able to use a relevant template to structure your content
- be able to use relevant and effective audio-visual aids (notes, OHP, PowerPoint, etc) to support your presentations
