Training course contents:
In a survey carried out amongst experienced, middle and senior executives, designed to determine the things that they feared most, public speaking came out as number one. Death was eighth on the list! So, most of us would rather die than stand up and present!
This session will provide your participants with the ideas and techniques to help them feel more confident about presenting, and will help them to become an effective presenter.
