Presentation skills

Overview

The presentation skills training is definitely Mario’s favourite. The reason, as he states, is that he can clearly see the improvement in each individual participant, from the intro on the first day to the final presentation. Progress is substantial and clear regardless of prior individual experience, and this is the greatest achievement for a trainer.

Presenting in front of an audience is, for many, a source of great stress and discomfort. However, we overcome that barrier at the very start of the course and polish our presentation skills in a pleasant working environment.

Approach

This interactive training consists of theoretical information, exchange of feedback and practical exercises. Feedback is provided after each exercise as well as at the end of the training. Each participant receives a video footage of his/her presentations. Each participant gets to practice presenting more than six times during the training. That way, participants become more skilful in delivering a clear and well thought-out message to the public. The presentation skills of each participant significantly improve after the training!

Duration of the course is 2 consecutive days.
