Course Summary
If you’re in a profession that requires you to present information or to create sales pitches for products, then it’s important that you appear confident, knowledgeable and engaging in front of a crowd. Fear of presenting in front of people is one of the top reasons for stalled development in executive and management positions.
While public speaking can be daunting, many key tools and techniques help you overcome that fear and deliver a persuasive and memorable presentation with greater impact and purpose to a large group.
Neuro-linguistic programming techniques can help you remove the fear of presenting and provide advanced speaking techniques to help you engage confidently with an audience. This allows you to gain buy-in to projects, get your information across in an organised manner, and present yourself in a more professional light.
