The Essence of Presenting

HOW DOES IT WORK?

This seminar is suitable for beginners or experienced presenters as it is developmental and focuses on each presenter's individual style rather than technical skill and rules.

Participants explore the underlying causes of the common fears relating to 'public speaking' in a safe and non-critical environment. Although there is no compulsory part in the programme, participants will have opportunities to be video taped. No play-backs are done in session. Feedback suggests this programme is a very safe and stimulating way to explore a traditionally challenging topic resulting in often profound shifts in confidence and competence. (Has been sought after for past 15 years in NZ and Australian corporate environments).

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Essence of Presenting is especially suitable for leaders, trainers, facilitators, sales staff and speechmakers - in fact anyone wanting more confidence, better communication skills and a healthy self esteem.
