The aim
To give staff at all levels the confidence and skills to prepare and deliver effective presentations.
About the program
Originally quite comfortable with the thought of submitting a written report on an office relocation, a young executive is panic-stricken when she's told that she has to present it in person to the board.
Her first run-through is a disaster, but with encouragement from a colleague she soon learns the secrets of making an effective presentation. He reassures her that she knows more about the project than anyone else. She has no reason to worry providing she approaches the task methodically.
By following a number of simple steps - Position, Options and Proposal - she is able to conquer her fears and make a successful presentation. She then discovers that no two audiences are the same and that she must adapt her presentation accordingly.
