Speaking Advantage

This Advanced Presentation Skills Training Program will take experienced speakers and presenters to the next level of confidence and skill in public speaking. Many individuals can give a “canned presentation” but are very formal in style, rely too heavily on PowerPoint, are not effective in dealing with questions and challenges, and lack the advanced presentation skills to really engage their audience. This new, customized advanced presentation skills training program will advance a speaker’s basic skills to the next level of competency to the art of public speaking, audience engagement and executive presence.

Through this fast-paced, hands-on, advanced presentation skills training course, participants will learn through interactive exercises and practice sessions, including 5-6 video feedback sessions. Coaches will provide specific feedback on advanced presentation skills strengths and areas of opportunity or improvement.

The final exercise will involve presenting to a management team for critique and feedback. The combination of exercises and practice produce significant advanced presentation skills development in an accelerated course.
