Description

Start building your presentation confidence and your excellent business presentation skills today.
It's time to say goodbye to the fear and frustration of upcoming presentations and hello to audiences wanting to congratulate you on your clear, powerful and compelling messages.
Over 3300 students know that being able to clearly and convincingly communicate their ideas is critical to their business success. Talent and skill are not enough. If you are not able to clearly and confidently present your ideas and key messages to others, you are highly likely to lose out to someone who can.
BUSINESS PRESENTATION SKILLS: are a critical factor for leaders and business managers if they want to succeed.
Millions of business presentations are given across the globe every day. The need for managers and team members to give presentations has become the norm. Yet, most of us don't like standing up and speaking in front of others. It can be a stressful experience, and for many they are overwhelmed by the fear of giving presentations. 
As a result of this, many business presentations are highly ineffective. They have unclear messages, fail to motivate or engage audiences, add little or no value and are frankly boring. The good news: it doesn't need to be that way.
This course will provide you with clear, easy to understand and implement ideas that will stand you out in a crowd of mediocre and boring business presenters. It will give you the confidence to plan, structure and deliver a professional business presentation that connects with your audience and moves people to take action on your ideas and key messages.
There is a support group for students of the course that provides the opportunity to practice presenting and get feedback on your progress if you choose.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:
Prepare and deliver winning business presentations that have a laser like focus on the key messages that are most likely to influence and persuade your audience.
Grab and hold audience attention right from the start with breathtakingly simple ideas and techniques
Develop business presentation content that makes real connections with your audience enabling you to influence and persuade key decision makers
Use vocal and body language techniques to create and re-enforce compelling messages
Eliminate distractions and noise from your visuals, focusing audience attention on your key messages that matter
Reduce and control nerves to present with a calm, clear, confident manner
Unleash the power of 'less is more'
WHAT CURRENT STUDENTS SAY?
'This course really does nail it! It's clear, concise and to the point
' - James Cooke
'
I really liked the large amount of examples in this course, examples make it easier to see how certain techniques/presentation habits affect me (and hence probably an audience as well). I also liked the specific pieces of advice, especially tips on concrete usage and implementation of advice in presentations'.
  - Laura Froelich

The course is well-organized with very practical, helpful, action-able information; comprehensive, but not overwhelming (which is important). This is an EXCELLENT course , I highly recommend it.
