Grow Your Confidence Ready For Your Next Big Presentation
So many of us feel real anxiety when we're offered a slot to give a presentation at a seminar or a conference. And, for others, we go out of our way to avoid any opportunity to give a presentation in public.
Of course when we consider our own job prospects and career progression, this isn't terribly useful. Because the very fact that we aren't being seen or heard at conferences can make us unnoticed.
And that doesn't feel too great when we stop and think about others leaping up the corporate ladder. But the real problem is that we know we could do it. We really could give that presentation if we had the opportunity and the know-how.
And that's the essence. We want the confidence and the skill-set to show what we can do and how we do it.
Because when you give a great presentation you unflinchingly exude authority. And that's definitely a bankable asset.
Presentation skills training can certainly give you the skill-set and confidence that you need.
It's a fact. We know it after so many years training people to give presentations at conferences around the world.
So, this online course gives you a real insight into how you too can give a great, effective presentation in public.

What’s In The Course?
You've got three chapters and ten lessons to work though in this online course.

Chapter 1: Essential Foundations for Your Presentation Success
In this module you'll discover how your conversational habits of a lifetime can hold you back when you want to give a presentation. So, the first lesson, Eliminate Ums and Ers When You Present is self-explanatory. You will aim to stop the ums and ers that you use as conversational fillers. And in the second lesson, Introduce The Pause as You Present, you'll swap those ums and ers for meaningful pauses.
In the third lesson, How To Expect More With Tone And Emphasis we explain how to keep yourself natural. That's because you want to use tone and stress to help your audience to understand your meaning. And, in the fourth lesson, Use Your Words Well you'll find out how to use simple words and simple sentences. Plus you'll want to avoid jargon, abbreviations and acronyms!
Typically we don't repeat ourselves in conversation. And if we do, then someone's bound to say something to us about it. However, when it comes to your presenting, you'll have to change that habit of a lifetime. Because repetition works really well in a conference presentation. But, as a presenter, it takes quite a bit of getting used to. So the final lesson in this chapter, Plan to Repeat Yourself, gets to grips with repetition.

Chapter 2: Putting Your Presentation Together
In this module we look at why the main foundations for a good presentation actually work. And yes, there are very good reasons why they work! So the first lesson in this chapter, Your Presentation is a Blank Canvas, explores all of these reasons.
In the next two lessons in this chapter we consider how your audience has a problem…before we look at how you'll solve that problem. And, finally we work on the effective delivery techniques that you can use in your presentations.

Chapter 3: Boss Your Presentation with Compelling Content and Technique
In the final chapter we have two lessons dedicated to compelling content and visual aids that you'll need for confident presenting. The good news is that we don't need to be a design agency to work with PowerPoint or Keynote. In fact, simplicity, consistent fonts, typefaces and easy colour palettes are available to everyone.
The chapter summarises the key learning points and suggests some practical next steps for any presenter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nothing at all. Because you don't need prior experience of a presentation in class, a seminar or at a conference to join this course. So, you don't need to prepare or complete any reading!
You can't discount good presentation experience. But if that prior experience leaves you feeling dreadful, that's no good. So, it's never too early for you to consider how you can build your own presentation skills for success. Because your subsequent experience will be that much better.
Yes. Because the essential toolkit items are: skills, confidence and enthusiasm.
Now you might fake sincerity or passion for a while, but you can't fake skills, confidence and enthusiasm for long. And why would you want to? Because you can always grow those presenting skills and you'll be more confident as a result.
In this course you will learn about the five foundations needed for a good presentation...the foundations that everyone needs to give a great presentation. And, beyond these, you'll also pick up invaluable tips for your own compelling presentation content and how to deliver that content.
Confidence comes with skill. So when you have the skills you'll be more confident as a result.
Please note that pre-presentation nerves will always be useful and they keep us on our toes. But we're not frightened of a presentation. Because we know that we have the skills to deliver it.
Just complete the course, and then look out for a presentation opportunity. At work, perhaps?
Give yourself time to plan and prepare your presentation to the timescale expected, research your audience, refine and rehearse your words and you'll do your best.
Build You Own Skills
Our goal is for you to give the most effective presentations possible. And our training courses aim for that goal every time we train people just like you.
This online course is no different. So, it contains all the learning resources of a full morning's face to face training session. Our one regret is that we can't offer tea, biscuits and lunch. But that's a small drawback for an online training session!
We hope you enjoy this course.
