Presentation Skills for Exporters Workshop Thursday 1st October 2009
Posted by: | CommentsSuzanne Hill of Handel Export will be delivering a workshop on Thursday 1st October 2009 on Presentation Skills for Exporters at the Ramada Hotel in Belfast. The workshop is part of a series of training run by Invest NI as part of their Passport to Export Programme.
We have all been there, having to sit through a boring presentation where either the information given was not relevant or the presenter had a terrible delivery style, or at worst a combination of both. This workshop is targetted at anyone whose role involves giving a presentation, be that in a formal scenario to a room full of people, or more informally to one or two people. The workshop aims to take participants through a number of steps to enable them at the end, to be able to deliver engaging and memorable (for the right reasons) presentations in a confident and authoritative manner.
Participants will learn how to:
- Develop a presentation from start to finish
- Deliver a presentation that engages and interests their audience
- Understand presentation styles
- Choose appropriate visual aids and manage their use
- Stage-manage presentations to present a professional image
- Develop self-confidence when speaking in public
