Hi there, I'm Liz Banks. Many people come on our First Presentation Skills course to overcome their fear of presenting. They use phrases like:-
|
to describe how they feel about the prospect of speaking in public ... when they arrive.
Our Skillstudio trainers understand that it's quite natural for you to feel very nervous or even terrified when presenting for the first time.
But they'll help you conquer your fears using simple, practical techniques which you'll learn on our one-day workshop.
The same people who felt worried before the course simply can't believe that they have managed to control their nerves, stand up in front of an audience and successfully deliver a presentation. As one scientist from the Health Protection Agency rejoiced, "The impossible has been achieved.”
Our one-day public and in-house First Presentation Skills workshop is for people who currently have little or no experience of public speaking but expect to take the plunge soon.
In just one day you'll
You'll leave the workshop with your own personal development plan and a toolkit of techniques to turn that plan into action. You will also leave the workshop with a buzz and a great sense of achievement.
Our trainers use a wide range of practical, enjoyable, tried and tested approaches to bring out the best in you. So you'll find your workshop highly interactive, supportive and fun. You will quickly build your confidence as you experiment and learn.
|
You'll learn a number of simple practical techniques to help you relax when under pressure and to take control of your nervous energy before you present. |
|
You'll learn voice exercises to help build
vocal confidence.
And as your trainer is also a voice coach they will
provide you with the personal coaching
you need to succeed. |
|
Your trainer will have a strong background in drama. So they are expert in helping you to use body language to develop a stronger more confident presence. |
You'll be surprised at how much you can progress during our one day of intensive training.
