Course Overview
This one-day workshop helps delegates feel more confident speaking and presenting in front of others and is aimed at those who want to communicate more clearly in meetings, group settings, or when delivering a presentation.
In this practical session, delegates will explore what affects confidence by introducing simple ways to manage nerves and practise speaking in a supportive environment. Building on the earlier work, the course will also cover how to plan a clear message, structure a presentation, and create accessible slides.
Delegates will also learn how tools such as AI and simple interactive apps can help with planning and engagement. By the end of the day, delegates will have planned and delivered a short presentation.
