What?

Training Course Overview

Do you want to significantly increase your impact and influence when presenting? Plus, persuade people of what you want?

A good or bad presentation can be the difference between business won and business lost. This Presentation Skills training course understands that a presentation might just be two people at a table, but that the presentation has to get the message across well and achieve its objectives too.

The course will be delivered by a world-class tutor. In addition, like all of our training courses, it includes our ROI guarantee. This training course will change the way Learners deliver impactful presentations, whether they are internal or external. It will help Learners to develop their knowledge and understanding of how to convey key messages, fully engage an audience, and deliver the maximum influence.

“Just wanted to drop you a note to say how much the team & I are enjoying the Presentation Skills workshops. We are all at slightly different levels of experience when it comes to creating & delivering presentations, but the content is universal & tackles our individual learning needs. It’s also nice to have a course which reflects the reality of doing business in 2024! We don’t often have the luxury of being face to face, so coaching to make sure we have impact virtually is really valuable for the team.” – Rebecca Cutter, Head of Marketing, GoldenAcre Foods

Why?

Our memory weakens over time. 85% of what learners learn in a training course is forgotten within the first 30 days.

Most people attend training courses and have a great day. The problem is that they do nothing differently afterwards. A person invests 8 hours of their time, a company invests money in that person, and the result is, well, nothing. No behavioural change for the learners. Learning that sticks changes that.

How?

The best piece of learning we all did was to drive. This is because driving lessons are based on spaced repetition. Do a lesson, stop & reflect, do another lesson, and so on. Our training programme is based on blended learning/70:20:10. A combination of traditional face-to-face training days, plus virtual classrooms, one-to-one coaching and Sticky Pieces (Homework) to embed the learning. All aimed to change the behaviours of the Learners.

Course Point of Difference

Achieving Real Behavioural Change with ‘Sticky Learning ®’

Sticky Learning ® is our own unique learning method. Developed over the last 20+ years. Most Learners attend 1-day training courses and do nothing afterwards. HR Managers & L&D Managers told us that this was unacceptable.

Sticky Learning ® helps Learners to Realise more of what they have learnt. To help them to Recall more of what they have learnt. Plus, Retain more of what they have learnt. The 3 R’s.

Sticky Learning ® enables us to proudly guarantee that if a Learner is not still using their new skill 5 months later, we will give you your money back. This is our money-back guarantee.

Learners tell us that the are either on the Powerpoint treadmill churning out the same old decks, or that they just can’t get people to engage when they present. Whether you present to one person or a room of people. Whether it is standing up, sitting down, or on Teams, this presentation skills training course is for the modern business because however you present we’ll help you to be the very best version of your presenting self.
