Stand and Deliver
Advanced Presentation Skills and the Art of Communication
Overview
In studies across the world, the fear of public speaking consistently ranks between number two and number six on the list of things people fear most.
For many, the only thing more terrifying than standing in front of an audience is death itself.
Human beings have been communicating for thousands of years, ever since our ancestors first peered quizzically at scratched drawings on cave walls. Yet today, many of us still lack confidence when speaking to more than one or two people.
Not only do we often struggle with presenting, but we also turn what could be a 20-minute talk into a source of overwhelming anxiety. It keeps us awake at night, ties our stomach in knots and makes our legs feel like jelly.
The good news? It doesn’t have to be that way. If you’ve been asked to speak, it’s because you’ve got something worth saying.
The difference between stepping off the stage as a gibbering wreck and stepping off to rapturous applause, confident your message has landed, comes down to practice, confidence and mindset.
What You’ll Gain
By the end of this expert-led, two-day programme, you will have harnessed the power to address any audience with confidence and self-belief. You’ll learn that communication is not just a talent — it’s a skill you can develop.
This highly interactive programme is designed to take your presentation skills to a whole new level.
Led by Mark Bloomer, an experienced trainer and mentor in the art of public speaking, even the shyest and most fearful participants will learn to command a room with authority and authenticity.
