Foundation Presentation Skills Training
Support your team to become clear, concise and confident presenters.
OVERVIEW
What is Foundation Presentation Skills training?
Foundation presentation skills training is focused on ensuring that your people are able to present clearly, confidently and concisely.
Because of this, the emphasis of the training session is often on overcoming nerves, developing focused content and delivering with confidence.
A foundation presentation skills session provides a good basis for later, more advanced presentation skills training and ensures that the learner has the ability to communicate to groups.

WHY?
Why effective presentation skills matter
Everyone within your team is capable of having great ideas that could influence the success of your organisation. But without the ability to communicate effectively these ideas may be lost and never heard.
Supporting your team to develop a good foundation level of presentation skills will ensure that they can contribute and share ideas with peers and throughout the organisation. The result is greater effectiveness, efficiency and increased success.
The positive communication skills that are modelled by your team will ripple out and be imitated by others, boosting the quality of presentations and communications throughout your organisation.
GOING FURTHER
What additional support will your people receive?
Following the training, all participants will receive follow-up notes and feedback, a personal online coaching session and access to our full library of communication skills resources.
This additional support is all focused on ensuring that the new skills that your team discover during the training are successfully applied in practice within their roles.
RESULTS
How is the success of the training measured?
We measure the confidence and competence of all learners before, during and after the training session.
The results are recorded, analysed and presented to you in an easy-to-read report.
Our goal is to ensure that all of the training that we deliver is as effective as possible and that you can clearly demonstrate the impact that your learning and development budget has achieved.
