Presentation Skills
It’s not just making a speech.
When you’re running your own business – or you’re a leader within someone else’s business – presentation skills are needed in all areas of your working life. So many people think only of making speeches or delivering a formal presentation as the time when they need those skills. Not so. At almost every working moment you are presenting.
We provide a number of training environments, on a group or one-to-one basis, for novice or experienced presenters. A full workshop will cover the keys to presentations skills – see below. One-to-one and small group master classes will focus on each person’s specific needs. The workshops will include the filming of the presentations for review. The emphasis will be on experiential learning. Delegates will leave the workshops knowing that they know how to present.

Our Presenter
Our presentation seminars are lead by Ann Baldwin, a former Executive Partner in Grant Thornton, the accountants and business advisers. One of her areas of responsibility was maximising new work through seminars and broadcasts. As she says, you may think your industry is tough to sell – but try tax!
As well as running her own business, Ann is an executive coach and tutor for the Institute of Directors, where she runs its Business Presentations and Public Speaking courses.
