Presentation Skills
Deliver persuasive arguments that cut through

​Great communication combines a powerful and logical argument with a compelling delivery that engages and persuades the audience.
 
This powerful presentation skills and public speaking course addresses what you say and how you say it, so you can speak to the hearts and minds of your audience.
We start by helping you build a powerful and compelling argument – with the right information delivered at just the right time.
 
Then we add engaging delivery, drawing on techniques used by speakers, presenters, news anchors and TV reporters to command an audience.
 ​
​Our rigorous communication theory, relevant case studies and hands-on practical exercises give you the frameworks and techniques you need to speak simply, logically and memorably.

You will learn:
  •  A framework to build a compelling argument to persuade your audience with logic;
  • Ways to engage your audience emotionally so they hear, feel and believe your viewpoint;
  • Techniques to look good and sound good no matter how nervous you feel;
  • How to manage hostile questions and make critics and hecklers work for you;
