Presentation skills for business

Registration cost: £450 + VAT | Limited to 8 participants | Group booking discount of 10% available (3+ registrations)

Learn how to make the most of your speaking voice, hone your personal presenting style, and develop a toolkit of skills that will be with you for life in this 3.5 hour intensive training.

The skill of communicating with clarity and authenticity to an audience has so much more to it than just the words we say. It’s said that communication is 55% nonverbal, 38% vocal, and 7% words only. In this workshop, we will work with the 93%: the voice and the body; the vocal and the non-verbal.

Please note, this course is focused on the delivery of presentations rather than content.
