Developing and delivering high-impact presentations
Having to give a formal presentation is often cited as the experience that people most fear and many will go a long way to avoid having to speak to an audience. And yet it is increasingly something that’s required as part of the job. These two intensive, challenging and hugely enjoyable days will leave participants wanting to present.
During the programme you will be introduced =mc‘s systematic methodology and practice the 10 key skills that will transform your ability to speak effectively in public. Skills such as audience engagement, use of gesture, eye contact, audio visual do’s and don’ts, and handling difficult questions. You’ll have the chance to deliver two ‘formal’, videoed presentations on a specific topic. And after each of these you will be coached 1-2-1 by an experienced =mc coach.
All our public training is scheduled when enough demand is there, so please

If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options.
These include:
- your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered in full days, half-day sessions or bitesize sessions over separate days.
- tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
- self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.
In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course).
