Presentation Skills Training for Gloucester

This interactive workshop enables delegates to develop and refine their presentation and public speaking techniques.

This course involves a high level of delegate participation.

At the end of the course, delegates will be able to plan, outline, and create a presentation. Delegates will also be able to recognise and apply effective presentation techniques.

Many are leaving PowerPoint behind and using the new Prezi Next software for business presentations. Prezi helps you create exciting, professional and colourful presentations, using both a blank canvas and fully customisable presentation templates. You can insert and customise text, colour schemes, images and videos as well as create your own videos.

Upon completion of this course, delegates will be able to create their own Prezi presentation either from Prezi templates or from scratch, become confident in the creation of non-linear presentations and learn how to design & build an amazing presentation that everyone will remember.

A one day programme focused on written business communication.

To write effectively requires knowledge of the process for constructing written business communications. When applied to various types of written communication such as a report, presentation, memo, letter, e-mail, this knowledge helps produce clear, concise, unambiguous communications.

The programme provides delegates with a chance to obtain the knowledge, test its application, and thus become more confident when faced with a written communication task at work.

This modular programme is designed to further develop the skills of managers and potential managers. Building leadership capabilities across this level should not only strengthen individual skills but also facilitate the transfer of best practice across the organisation.

Between each workshop delegates will be given work assignments to reinforce and embed the skills learned at each workshop. Recognising the busy nature of the delegates role, the design of these assignments will be thought provoking and practical rather than time consuming.

Each module comes with its own set of support notes for delegates to put into a ring-binder, which then builds up into a comprehensive management reference book.

This highly interactive and practical programme will give delegates an opportunity to learn more about themselves and the different working styles of others to increase individual and team effectiveness. They will be working as individuals, in pairs or small groups, engaging with each other to explore the different approaches. Building a team successfully requires awareness and understanding of the needs for a balanced team. This programme has been designed to give delegates both insight and time to explore their personal preferences, highlighting the benefits of getting the correct balance between both managing the task and leading the team.

CLARITY 4D PROFILES

As an optional extra, each delegate will receive either an 11 page Clarity4D Personal Profile or a 20 page Team Profile (recommended). The Profile provides delegates with information on their personality type as an aid to understand more about self and others, which can then be used to identify strategies for enhancing interpersonal relationships and improving communications within the team.

The Profile includes sections on:

Personal style and interacting with others

Personal strengths and areas of hidden potential

Value to the Team

Effective Communication

The Profile will be used as a working document throughout the programme as a basis for self-analysis and group discussions. Delegates may then go on to use it as a personal development coaching tool.

A well run meeting can solve problems, encourage consensus, generate action and develop team spirit. However, meetings that are managed incorrectly can lead to frustrating results such as lengthy deliberations and/or inconclusive outcomes. This course will help delegates understand how to keep a meeting efficient and beneficial for all involved.

This course is aimed at those new to PowerPoint, or who have limited knowledge of the package. During this course delegates will explore the PowerPoint environment and create presentations.

Delegates will format text on slides, add graphical objects to a presentation, modify objects on slides, add tables to a presentation, add charts to a presentation and prepare to deliver a presentation.

People benefit from training that's well organised and implemented, and the key to successful training is the trainer. Only a trainer who is properly skilled can maximise the learning opportunity. This course is highly interactive and requires attendees to give brief presentations and lessons to the other delegates.

This highly interactive 2-day course covers the basic training principles required to design and deliver courses on a one-to-one and group basis. This basic training skills course is aimed at those who are new to training, experienced trainers who want to review their current performance as trainers, or managers wanting to develop their staff.

This outline below contains an overview of a wide range of features within Excel that when used together can be used to create interactive visual reports and dashboards. The course will show delegates how these features can be used individually to present data but can also be used in combination to make powerful and insightful reports.

The course content has been pulled from a mix of our Excel courses, some content will be recapped to ensure all delegates are at the same level as they are used in conjunction with each other to effectively present data and build reports.
