Training Overview

Feel confident and comfortable when presenting, get your key messages across to your audience and make every presentation more engaging and effective.

Being able to deliver effective presentations is an absolute must for PR executives, especially when presenting campaigns to colleagues and clients, or when pitching for new business. This interactive full-day course is aimed at executives who are new to making presentations or who want to improve their public speaking skills.

How will I benefit?

Working on a presentation you bring with you, you'll learn tricks and techniques to make you feel more comfortable and confident when presenting.

You'll learn how to construct a presentation so that it engages the audience from start to finish, how to use the three Vs (verbal, vocal and visual communication) to make your delivery more commanding, and how to deal with nerves. You'll get the opportunity to try new techniques in a safe environment and you'll receive lots of constructive feedback from the trainer and other delegates.

With a background that covers over 20 years in the PR industry married with extensive experience in the performing arts, your trainer can give you practical insights into presenting that you can't get anywhere else

I found the course to be a fantastic confidence builder. The environment was friendly and relaxed. We were able to take away clear, achievable objectives. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere as it made me feel much less apprehensive about presenting. Overall, a fantastic course!

I loved having my own personal presentation that I had to complete twice. I felt there was a huge difference the second time round! Lorraine was incredibly knowledgeable and there was a perfect balance of our interaction and her explaining things! Thank you so much!
