Influencing and Presenting to the Board
Presenting to the Board can be an intimidating experience, whether it’s your first time, or your twenty-first. Preparation is an absolutely vital component for influencing and presenting to the Board effectively.
Building on existing knowledge as well as your speed reading, report writing and presentation skills, this programme provides an opportunity for you to take a step back and see the big picture more clearly. You will study how to select and present the right information in the right way, as well as how and why people absorb new knowledge.
This programme is for you if you have to read and digest large amounts of information quickly and then present it clearly and succinctly at Board level.
