Presentation Training

In today's business world, we are called upon more and more to give both internal and external presentations aimed at communicating a series of key messages and information. Whether you are reporting back to your board of management or speaking to 500 people at a conference, your presentation style can play a significant part in the success of your communication.

Since 2003, JM Creative has offered individual Presentation Training Courses which provide comprehensive advice and help to ensure the presentations you give are authoritative, engaging and effective. We've worked with Government, Blue Chip Corporations and SME's and we're proud of the fact that our training can really make a difference. We've outlined below a summary of the two session course we offer.

 

Session One
This two hour 'one to one' session looks to identify the key areas of presentation unique to each individual. We will focus on the areas in which people thrive and examine the elements which prove more difficult. A range of subject matter will be dealt with in this session including pace, variety, how to deal with nerves and even what to wear. We will also examine what tools can be used alongside a presentation – most commonly Powerpoint.

At the end of the session key targets would be set, with specific pointers as to areas to work on.

 

Session Two
This three hour, 'one to one' session would ideally take place approximately two weeks following session one. The focus will be on 'hands on' practical work as we look to hone the skills needed to produce outstanding presentations. Much of this work will be recorded on DVD to aid the individual's understanding of how they come across. This session is bespoke as we believe no two people are the same in terms of presentation skills. We will ensure that we replicate specific presentations so that the training remains relevant at all times. At the conclusion of the session an assessment of the training will be carried out reviewing all the areas covered.
