Format
This one-hour webinar focuses on analysing performance techniques and developing presentation skills for any face-to-face communication, whether you are presenting to a large group, a team meeting or just a one-on-one conversation.
The webinar uses a number of TED talks to help make key points and participants are expected to engage fully with the material and to interact with the trainer during the webinar. Inevitably, however, the format does not allow the trainer to see the participants deliver any sample presentations and give one-to-one feedback, which would require a classroom-based workshop instead.
The webinar is usually delivered using Zoom or Skype for Business but we can work with other platforms as well if required.
Expert trainer
This programme was designed, and is delivered, by one of our most popular trainers, Susie Ashfield.
