Pitch Perfect

This afternoon masterclass will show you how to present with optimum impact. Can you remember when someone gave a dreadful presentation?  They waffled on, forgot key points and didn’t use technology properly. What was wrong? Lack of sleep, weather, mystery virus? The problem was they practiced a bit, winged it and hoped for the best.  The hard fact is that all of us only get so far on natural ability. To deliver effective presentations is a process that we can learn, practice and apply. 

This course will look at: -

-          How to open and close

-          Use of humour and technology

-          Body language

-          Writing scripts

-          Memory techniques

-          Overcoming nerves

-          Using props and notes

-          How to bring alive dry material 

You will go away with a tool kit that will enable you to develop and grow your ability when presenting.
