We’ll help you to identify where you’re going wrong, how to organise and plan your time more effectively, and how to be proactive rather than reactive - achieving a better work/life balance.

Effective Presentation Skills

The Effective Presentation Skills course is ideal for anyone who has to make a presentation and wants to bolster their confidence and speaking technique.

If you’ve ever seen a TV show where someone is advised to ‘imagine the audience in their underwear’, you’ll know that a lot of people struggle with public speaking. From worrying about how you’ll come across, to projecting your voice, to forgetting what to say next, speaking to an audience can be a catalyst for all kinds of anxieties.

Our Effective Presentation Skills course will help you to minimise the nerves that come with presenting, enabling you to take control and deliver an impactful and inspiring message. Our practical training will enhance your public speaking skills, providing you with a structure and confidence that will invigorate your audience and enhance your presentations.

Chairing Productive Meetings

Our Chairing Effective Meetings course is ideal for anyone with the responsibility for chairing or managing meetings, or who facilitates discussions within their business.

Very few people would profess a love for meetings, but that’s often because they’re not efficiently chaired. Ideally, meetings should run as short as possible while also maximising their usefulness. Unfortunately, many meetings run too long, achieve too little, and remove employees from the work they should be doing.

However you feel about your meetings, it’s likely that they could be further optimised. By taking our Chairing Effective Meetings course, you’ll gain a fuller understanding of the meeting process, and how to control and energise a discussion. By learning new processes, you’ll ensure your meetings encourage participation, and reach more decisive outcomes.

Influence, Persuasion and Negotiation Skills

This course is ideal for anyone who would like to be more influential and more persuasive in their day-to-day interactions with colleagues or clients.

Whether you’re leading a negotiation or attempting to persuade a client or colleague, you need to connect to the person you’re talking to. Being persuasive and composed is important, but without making a strong personal impact - and being able to build rapport - your message is unlikely to get through.

Our Influencing, Persuasion and Negotiation Skills course teaches valuable communication skills in an active and practical manner. Delegates will learn how to form strong personal connections with others, how to listen and absorb information more effectively, and how  to tailor your message to the person you want to persuade.

High Impact Presentation Skills

This course is ideal for directors & senior managers, or those with responsibility in delivering high level presentations.

You may think you’re a dab hand at presentations - but what happens when the venue gets bigger, the audience increases in size, the topic gets complicated, or the boardroom beckons? The basics of structure and delivery still apply, but the skills and techniques needed for each situation can differ wildly.

Our High Impact Presentation Skills course looks at the skills involved in successfully handling an 'advanced' presentation situation. With an opportunity to practice and receive on the spot coaching and feedback on the second day, this programme is for experienced presenters looking to build on and maximise their presentation skills.
