In addition, participants will have the opportunity to make three short presentations and will receive feedback on their current presentation style, as well as ideas to enhance their delivery.
This training course is perfect for those with experience of presenting, who want to improve their communication delivery style and the impact of their business presentations.

Testimonials from previous attendees
Very good and fun course. Learnt a lot and will use this going forward to provide better presentations to clients.
Very good – group orientated and supportive. All were very nervous but facilitator put us all at ease.
Good structure, bite size sections with practical examples and practice. A good mix making an enjoyable but educational day.
Really positive experience – I really enjoyed it and feel a great deal more confident about future presentations.
