Did you know...?
|
Research has shown that more people dread presenting than any other task at work.
We've all been there: the last minute board presentation, the sales pitch to an important potential client, even a networking meeting. The pattern seems to be the same, wherever you look.
Some people seem to love standing up in front of an audience, as though they were born to present.
Others seem to dread it. The build-up of nerves can start weeks beforehand and can turn a normally confident person into a near gibbering wreck!
|
Who Should Take This Course? |
Anyone who has to present ideas to groups of people. Everyone who wants to learn how to prepare themselves, and their presentation, so they reduce their nerves and feel more confident. This could range from formal presentations to an external client, through to taking a lead role in a business meeting.

Learning the art of stress-free presenting (yes, it is possible) will help you:
- Have the audience eating out of the palm of your hand; avoiding that feeling of losing control and wanting the ground to open up for you…
- Make sure you’re not “stuck” with an audience that’s looking bored, but that you connect with them and you all enjoy the presentation.
- Avoid wishing you had done it differently, by knowing how to do yourself justice and achieve your presenting goal.

How Does It Work? |
The principles behind the 5 keys to stress-free presenting are based on research into how our mind and body work together. It moves on from the traditional approach:
|
“Tell’em what you’re gonna tell’em; tell’em;
tell’em what you told’em.”…
|
… and gives you the skills you need to take your presentations to the next level. We all have presenting habits that we want to break – and the 5 keys help you do so, surprisingly easily.
|
| What are the 5 keys? |
- Know your outcome – and your audience.
Be really clear about what you want to achieve and how your audience wants to receive it. This will help you structure your presentation in a way they will find appealing and easy to understand.
- Manage Your Emotional State
It’s almost impossible to give a good presentation, if you’re nervous or feeling unsure. State management is about making sure you’re in the best possible frame of mind to give a great performance and you'll be able to handle any questions your audience throws at you!
- Preparation: Mental Rehearsal
By using visualisation and mental rehearsal techniques, you can check how your presentation will flow, anticipate potential questions and calm your nerves.
- Physiology
How we use our bodies during a presentation makes the critical difference: a fidgety presenter appears nervous and will distract the audience; a confident presenter gets people hooked. Learn how to use your movements to get your audience to buy into your message. Breaking old habits is easier than you might think.
- Stage Skills
Basic presentation stage skills are simple to learn. When presenting to a group, there are certain things we need to do differently, compared to normal communication situations. Yet once you've practised these new techniques, suddenly presenting becomes so much easier.

Using these 5 keys can make the difference between an ‘ok’ presentation and an ‘excellent’ performance. |
You can apply these 5 keys to presenting, chairing a meeting or generally psyching yourself up to do something that’s outside your comfort zone.
