Presentation Skills in English

• external presentations, e.g. to customers, stakeholders
• internal presentations, e.g. to colleagues, employees

You could be working in sales, finance, R&D, HR, management, administration – and your typical audience can range from a few persons up to hundreds of listeners. The key thing is that you need to effectively convey your message to your audience, i.e., to increase the effectiveness and memorability of your presentations.

The training is divided into three parts to ensure that participation is as convenient as possible for you. The three parts are:

• Four online self-study themes, approximately 30 min/each
• two hours live online group session in small groups
• 30 min 1-to-1 live online coaching based on your own presentation

The online sessions lay the groundwork and give you practical advice for building an effective presentation. During the live online group session you deliver your presentation and practice the guidelines and hints provided during the self-study sessions in a safe and friendly environment.

You receive a lot of feedback which helps you to further develop your presentation. As an end result you have a perfected presentation, which you can immediately utilize in your daily work.
