The Learning Experience:
A highly participative course where participants will experiment with a range of approaches and draw on each others' experiences. With a mixture of tutor input, plenary discussions, syndicate exercises and self-assessment questionnaires, each used to develop deeper understand of the issues facing consultants as they attempt to develop and deliver effective, compelling and concise business presentations.
Participants will also have the opportunity, through extensive use of CCTV to monitor the changes in their skills and behaviour - towards effective presentation skills - during the course. The course also involves participants working through an interactive 'live' presentation opportunity.
