Public Speaking and Presenting at Work

Course details

Public speaking in the workplace is a common requirement for managers and leadership. However, employees can also find themselves asked to:

• Present at meetings
• Facilitate groups or training
• Deliver sales pitches

Presenting is a great opportunity for employees to demonstrate their expertise and value, making developing your presentation skills a key to your career.

Whether your goal is to inform, persuade, entertain, or train, there are core communication strategies and presentation techniques that will ensure you give a professional presentation that engages your audience and achieves your desired outcomes.

Poor presentation skills or avoidance of public speaking results in leaders who fail to inspire their teams, sales people with low sales numbers, and individuals whose careers are stagnant. The good news is that public speaking skills can be learned.
