The Art of Persuasion – Present with Power, Confidence & Authority Public Workshop
(This is a Skills Connect Approved Workshop)
Most jobs in today’s corporate world involve presentations – be it to clients, colleagues or to the management. And the truth is, just as a book is often judged by its cover, we are more often than not, judged by how we say things rather than what we say.
Support for your project, idea, proposal, product purchase or even a budget approval can be won or lost based on your ability to present with credibility and to deliver your thoughts and ideas with style, confidence and authority.
Presentation is not just about standing at the podium and running through the slides. It is about engaging the audience’s attention and presenting your ideas in a clear, concise and persuasive manner. It involves being prepared in all aspects of presentation versus simply focusing on a power point presentation.
