Introduction

Persuasive speakers are able to convey their thoughts in a clear, concise and powerful way through their body language, facial expressions as well as the strategic use of multimedia tools and vocal skills. Unlike a report, presentations are more than just the regurgitation of facts and figures. An effective presentation is not merely about what you say, but how you say it. In fact, presenters only have 30 seconds to engage their audiences before they lose their interest for good.

In this 2 days workshop, participants will learn how to:

• captivate their audiences in the most efficient yet influential way
• enhance their professional image as well as that of the organizations or departments they represent
• create a memorable presentation that appeals to the hearts and minds of their audience
• rapidly plan and prepare presentations that get their point across with clarity and brevity
• employ visual, verbal and vocal mediums to enhance their presentations
• become a more powerful speaker
