Presenting with Confidence

Overview

Having to present or speak in front of groups of people, small or large, can be daunting. Nerves can get the better of you, leaving you feeling anxious and uneasy, preventing you from getting important points across to your audience.

This course aims to help you tap into your self-confidence as well as tame anxiety and nerves. A relaxed, interactive workshop style, prepared with a Local Government focus, this course is designed to take the panic or dread out of public speaking situations – whether you are speaking to a group of three or 30.

You’ll learn how to organise a presentation, how to make it memorable, and how to communicate clearly and professionally. Throughout the day you’ll have several opportunities to demonstrate the presentation skills that you learn, helping you gain the experience and self-assurance you need when speaking.
