Improve your presentation skills
Do you dread having to give presentations to your management team? Want to make an impact with your lecture at an upcoming symposium? Would you rather someone gave the farewell speech for your departing colleague? Or do you get a knot in your stomach when you have to explain something during a meeting? Regardless of your position or background, almost everyone will have to speak in front of an audience now and again – but very few people are natural-born speakers. In this practical two-day training course, you will learn how to best convey your message.
Objective
During this training course, you will learn how to speak in a relaxed and convincing manner. You will develop your own style so that you can give an inspiring presentation that makes an impact. This course is for all UG staff members (academic and support and administrative staff) who want to learn how to improve their presentation skills. This course will make presenting fun – not just for your audience, but also for yourself.
Programme
In this practical course, you will learn by doing and will be given the chance to practise and find out what works. With feedback and tips, you will work on developing your own ‘language’ and style.
The following subjects will be covered:

After the training course, you can either attend a third intensive training day or work on your presentation and slides during an additional individual coaching session.
