Presentations, or speaking in front of others at team meetings, can bring the most confident person to their knees.
It requires a range of skills and awareness to really make an impact. Not only do we have to deal with our inner self, but we also need to constantly manage the audience (individuals / cliques / the whole group). Whether presenting to a small team, making a presentation at an interview or doing larger presentations, this module will set you up to be better prepared and therefore more effective.
This webinar will be led by Kat Engall.
