Introduction

Everyone can present well with practice and preparation. To do a really good presentation we need to know how to go about it. This is true whether our presentation is to large or small groups. People are not "born presenters", although some have greater natural ability than others. Presentation is a skill that needs to be learned.

In this course you will learn how to perfect your public speaking skills through a program of instruction, constructive feedback and discussion.

As a participant:

• You deliver five short presentations in varied formats
• You video and assess your personal performance during each presentation
• You get feedback from the tutor and the other delegates
• You get lots of the latest ideas to underpin your progress
• You get to take with you the video of your own performance for further reflection and improvement when the course has ended

Your individual Presentation may cover a technical, professional or global topic. You should prepare a short speech (maximum 3 minutes) before the Course. You will deliver it twice. After each delivery there will be structured self-assessment, video analysis and constructive help and guidance. You will be encouraged to set personal improvement targets both during and after the Course. Comprehensive Course Notes are provided for permanent reference
