Becoming a high-performance presenter takes high-performance states and behavioural flexibility

Presentation Skill Development is a five-day training seminar for presenters and trainers who want to take their personal and professional effectiveness to the next level. By applying Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, the seminar coaches people in how to perfect their presentation skills. The principles have been proven across all kinds of professions.

With Presentation Skill Development, you can present business and personal material in a manner that suits you and your audience.

Draw attention to leverage points for change using your language and presentation. Invite your audience to think differently and develop their own solutions. Identify thought processes to create better alternatives for achieving your goals and for your audience to achieve theirs.

Presentation Skill Development provides you with the thinking tools for describing problem solving process and managing goals and the communication skills to convey this to an audience so they own it.

The course applies the communication models of Neuro-Linguistic Programming to produce measurable results, whatever your field. Unlike the common presenting models, it does not require you to conform to a “right” way of presenting. In this program, you are encouraged to apply process thinking to develop your own style and adapt it to different presenting contexts. So whether you want to pitch for work, train a group, present to a board of directors or entertain an audience, these skills will enhance your performance.

You will learn to:

• Engage and hold your audience’s attention
• Create meaningful and enlightening metaphors to help your audience understand
