Efective Presentation

Description

Objectives

This is not a common PowerPoint or Public Speaking course! This course is for those who want to learn how to structure a presentation effectively, highlighting the logic of the arguments and the use of graphs and images to be persuasive.

Very few people know that the greatest part of the presentation effectiveness resides in the logical organisation and the layout of the produced document. Big consultancy groups invest time and money to teach their consultants the best strategies to make effective presentations.

This training will provide you with the secrets on how to provide a readable structure to their presentations while being attractive and convincing. The course is highly interactive and both theoretical and practical.

Participants

Managers, consultants, professionals and whoever needs to produce presentations aimed at internal or external clients.
