Presentations 2 - The Presentation

Course Overview

This course is provided by Learning4Business. Having completed this course you should be able to:

• structure an effective formal presentation
• create maximum impact
• deal with difficult audiences
• identify and use the correct presentation media

Formal presentations are a critical communication tool for managers, and failure to achieve mastery of this medium results in a significant lessening of the manager’s effectiveness.

By learning how to design and structure a presentation, then deliver it professionally, the learner will greatly increase their power to inform, persuade and influence.

In a fast-changing environment it is essential that organisations possess effective communication tools. Some messages must be delivered face-to-face, and managers competent in making effective presentations will ensure that those messages are developed professionally, and in such a way as to achieve the desired results.

The course is divided into 6 sections covering the following areas:

• structuring a presentation correctly
• integrating audience needs to ensure ’buy-in’
• elaborating content for maximum impact
• adding variety and emphasis
• dealing with difficult audiences
• using presentation resources effectively
