In-house seminars with content tailored to your needs:
Online presentations have their own dynamic and place special demands on presenters and moderators: They can only steer with voice and visual information – and at the same time, participants can take themselves out of the presentation at any time without realising. They must therefore use all available technical and personal options stringently and consistently in order to focus the participants‘ concentration on the presentation.
In this seminar, employees learn, practise and consolidate everything they need to do this – from a one-to-one discussion to a large group meeting or sales presentation.
Aims of the presentation training: Participants learn how to optimally prepare and moderate presentations in the company, in live and online meetings, in video conferences and other live and online events, how to visualise content and how to deal confidently with the special technical and group dynamic challenges. You will optimise your impact in front of the microphone and camera.
Target group: all people who give or would like to give professional and effective presentations in live and online meetings, at lectures, in video conferences, web seminars and other events
Duration of the presentation training as an in-house seminar:
compact with max. 6 participants: 1 day, 09:00 to 16:00/16:30
intensive with 8 – 12 participants: 2 days, 09:00 to 16:00
