Presenting Powerfully – with Presentation Skills Brighton
Floyd Scott
“I participated in one of Alan’s workshops on presentation technique with my company. I have been to many workshops over the years on skills – but this was by far the move effective and “to the point” – hitting on the issues and challenges anyone in public speaking / technical presentations might face. Alan has a way of making all the participants feel validated and encourages participation. You learn without feeling you are being “evaluated” or criticised. Excellent workshop – Alan is a master in the field!” Floyd Scott – Senior Solutions Architect at Tricentis, Aurora, Colorado.

“…confidence comes from being grounded, breathing freely and easily, making good eye contact – all behaviours. And from this grounded confidence, in contact with the audience, you’re then free to deliver your content. A better presenter…”
One of the best ways to learn is by teaching. By the end of the course participants will have a new set of presentation rehearsal skills. These rehearsal skills will help you to get into the best state for presenting, physically and mentally, in less than two minutes.
These are some of the items we will be covering on our course. The exact order and amount of time that we spend on each item will be determined by the needs of the delegates and their personal objectives.
