PRESENTATION SKILLS COURSE
"There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one
you gave, and the one you wish you gave."
Dale Carnegie
1. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES

impact is a challenge for none-native speakers.
This comprehensive program covers everything from structuring the presentation to fine-tuning the
delivery, from designing the visuals to mastering the body language and from telling one’s own story
and anecdotes to handling the all-important question-and-answers session in English.

examples of good and bad examples are provided helping them to quickly understand what works and
what doesn’t.

3. THE METHODOLOGY
The course strives to set up a safe and encouraging environment in order to maximize skills transfer. It
is a results-oriented method which means that at the end of the 2 days, delegates achieve results and
learn new effective methods.
Based on the learner-centric methodology, the course structure provides various exercises,
encouraging participation, use of group questions, use of colors, images and visual illustrations in
slides to help delegates quickly understand concepts and remember them well.
In addition, it encourages the use of immersive-training where all the senses of learners are engaged.
Delegates are shown images, illustrations, use props, participate in exercises, view role models or
watch videos demonstrating the skills that are studied.
Self-assessment and video capture of delegates during their presentations will aim at improving their
methodology and presentation style needed to build their confidence and assertivety when presenting
in English.
