Coaching: Individual presentation coaching – improving your personal impact

Identifying and avoiding presentation errors – last rehearsal training.

Expert, credible and personal – these are the factors that make a presentation convincing. In this seminar, participants find out how to apply the appropriate blend of dramatic composition, confident speech, effective body language and professional use of media to achieve an optimum effect. Video recordings and detailed follow-up allow participants to recognise their own potential and consciously tap into their strengths.

An expert, assured and convincing manner is required to be able to “sell” ideas and products successfully in presentations. Listeners naturally expect good preparation, clear structures, an appealing presentation, confident use of media and a convincing display.

Coaching objectives: Participants learn how to prepare and deliver a presentation to optimum effect.

Duration: 0.5–1 day, e.g. 9 am to 4 pm

Preparation

• Before starting the course, participants fill out a password-protected expectations’ questionnaire. I compile the precise seminar content and structure based on the results of the questionnaire.
• Before the course, participants are provided with a short e-book containing the main tips for effective presentation. It serves as preparation for the seminar. Participants draw up a personal development plan to identify which points they particularly wish to work on in the seminar.
