Presenting with Impact

Presentations at work are becoming a common part of our professional lives. Whether it’s an end of year financial report, a marketing strategy to be showcased to senior management or a new product release, effective presentations are vital for personal and organizational success. However, presenters often fall into bad habits and even well planned and rehearsed presentations can often be dull, ineffective and a time waster for the audience.

Learning and refining the skills required for effective presenting is essential for professionals today and overcoming glossophobia (speech anxiety) is often the most challenging hurdle facing presenters. Do not fear. There are a range of techniques that can be employed to ensure all speakers can overcome this damaging phobia. Furthermore, speakers can gain confidence and become more effective through actively utilizing their ‘voice toolkit’. Understanding the audience, delivering the right mix of visual data and editing content are just some the skills required to ensure your presentations and pitches are sharp, practical and memorable.

Ultimately, when it comes to presentations, there is no room for error and no second chances. This is why mastering the skills required and learning the appropriate techniques are crucial for all professionals.
