Presentation Skills
People do not always do justice to themselves or their ideas when speaking to groups of people, whether colleagues or clients.
For many, nerves mean sleepless nights and constant re-writing of the content. The end result is a presentation with too many visual aids, too much detail and an audience who are less than riveted. There are occasions when all of us have been heard to mutter that it would have been easier, and saved everyone a lot of time, if the presenter had just emailed the slides.
Those who pitch presentations correctly and professionally stand out so clearly from the rest. It is vital that impressions are not influenced by lack of technique or lack of confidence.
