Personal Development Programmes

Location: Indoors - Duration: Various - Participation: For 1 to 100 people

Our facilitator, Chris Kelly, worked for years as a successful actor and professional broadcast journalist and developed a keen interest in the art of presentation. He went on to study the way people present themselves as part of an honours degree in psychology and is now ideally placed to offer training in presentation skills.

By employing a warm and encouraging style of teaching, delegates leave feeling confident and ready to face the challenge of a public appearance. The training is practical, highly enjoyable and really relevant to job requirements. At the end of a course participants will be able to speak with more fluency and authority at presentations, conferences, media and job interviews, training sessions and meetings.

Testimonials

"I just wanted to say again how much I enjoyed Monday and how useful I found it.  I've been to a few sessions on presentation skills always in the hope that, in amongst the usual wider variety of issues covered, there will be something in the section on fear/confidence that will help me but it's often skimmed over and rarely goes beyond theory. To have a whole session dealing with my major issue and all those practical exercises - both physical and mental - was absolutely fantastic".

Client Projects Manager, Bird & Bird.

 

"Brilliant! Informative and interesting”. Fire Brigades Union.

 

"Thanks for the brilliant session that you held for us at John Lewis Bluewater. Of all the training sessions that I have been to over the years this one has been the best. I was genuinely interested in the subject and took away so much that I was able to put into action immediately. I could have listened to you all day, thanks once again for an inspiring session"

Assistant Registrar, John Lewis.
