As a Director, HR professional or Manager, you know that it is key for your teams to be able to communicate well at internal team meetings, to external clients and suppliers, or to give a virtual project update presentations. You need them to be able to give clear, concise and confident presentations. Our presentations skills training courses will give them the confidence to do just that – and enable them to engage and interact with varied audiences online and off (watch our video testimonials).
Working with a highly experienced trainer (either in person or virtually), in this tailored public speaking course your team will be coached into delivering clear and confident presentations.
Business presentations online and off e.g. boardroom presentations, pitching internal ideas, webinars, technical presentations, conference presentations, customer proposals and sales presentations, internal meetings, investment pitches, keynote speeches and more… Participants will learn the principles of virtual presenting and for in-depth training on the subject, see our Virtual Presenting course.
Choose between face to face or virtual training for between 2-6 delegates (For larger delegate numbers see our webinar training options).
Optional extras: Ideal for face to face and virtual learners (Part 6): live post-training reviews via web calls.

Here’s the course breakdown:
Part 1 – Where are the most important areas for development?
Delegates will complete a short quiz and answer self-reflective questions in the ‘Styles, Strengths and Weaknesses’ workbook (hard copy or e-version available). This allows the participants to identify their areas for development and means the trainer can tailor the materials to your team’s needs.
Participants will be asked to film themselves (optional) giving a short presentation meaning the trainer can check they concur with the participant’s self-analysis and inform their next steps.
Part 2 – How does a negative or positive state of mind impact performance?
We help delegates to identify which mindsets are necessary to be a calm, confident and clear presenter and which have an adverse effect. Your team will learn techniques and exercises that are designed to change negative worries into more positive and useful thoughts. We help participants overcome common concerns they have running around in their minds such as hating the feeling of “all eyes are on me” to thinking “they are all judging me”.
Part 3 – Why is good body language so important online and off?
Now we study body language and find out how to show presence, poise and passion. Your team will learn and practise standing and seated ‘Presenter Stance’, what to do with their hands, and when and where to look.
Part 4 – How does breathing impact the voice?
The trainer will listen to the different voices and watch the participant’s breathing to see what can be improved. Your team will learn the importance of breathing and voice exercises and the role they play in making you not only clear but also calm and confident too. Then they will practise speaking with a new-found quality, confidence and clarity.
Part 5 – How can you avoid death by PowerPoint or conference call fatigue?
The trainer will show your team how to make their message clear and simple, so they can avoid having hundreds of text heavy slides and easily remember what to say. No more mind blank moments! This will make it easier for the audience to engage, understand and remember your message.
Whether participants are doing the virtual or in person face to face training, they will each be invited to show what they’ve learnt throughout the programme in a short finale review video. Your trainer will provide constructive feedback for each participant and highlight next steps.
Part 6 – Practise and next steps 60-minute live review
This section is an optional extra, but we highly recommend it. This is where it all comes together – time for your team to practice and embed everything they’ve learnt! Participants will deliver their presentation in a live web call to the trainer who will give constructive feedback on the delivery of the presentation. Knowing that they can practise all the techniques learnt will give participants one final confidence boost. And they’ll leave with a detailed plan of their next steps so they can continue to improve even after the course has finished.

“The training has helped with my calmness and breathing What I like most was the live feedback. The training will enhance my frequent presentations on the job. Highly recommend this to others.”
Alfie – Senior Bid Development Manager
“It pushed me out of my comfort zone, but not too far, I felt empowered to stand up and talk, not forced to. I believe in myself more and at least have body language to appear confident. Looking forward to what’s to come with rest of training” [Stages 2 & 3]
