About the course
Many studies have found that public speaking is the number one fear among most people: outranking flying, snakes, insects, and even death. Ironically, it is also one of the skills that can make or break a person’s career.
On this Presentation Skills course you will learn how you can overcome your nerves using simple techniques, the characteristics of a successful presenter and how to come across as authentic, confident, clear and engaging to ensure that you are the best presenter you can be. We will look at how to open a presentation, transition from one idea to the next and present dynamically so you make a positive and lasting impression.
