Presentation Skills Training Course

Location: Lagos.

Fee: N105, 000

Duration: 2days

Delivering a brilliant presentation needs effective planning, choosing the right delivery method, outstanding content, use of technology and communication skills.

This course provides in-depth knowledge and skill building in the planning, preparing and delivering of an engaging presentation. The use of the specific tools and techniques for presentation creation and delivery enable you to give powerful presentations every time.

Good information, great ideas or the best proposal only gets you half way. To be a successful professional presenter you need to be able to capture your audience and take them on your journey using effective presentations.

Positioning yourself and your ideas in a consistently positive and professional manner enables you to make a professional impression — the first time and every time. Raw information is logical but being logical does not capture anyone’s attention for too long. Persuasive presentations start with raw information, opinions are added, coloured with imagery, and given personality. The more of the mind you tickle, the more retention and motivation you reap.

This Presentation Skills Training Program will teach you how to prepare quickly, utilise the best method for delivering your message, and maintain audience interest at all times.
