Public speaking

You present in team meetings or client meetings, but speaking in front of an audience feels intimidating. In this one-day workshop you learn to build a presentation, avoid common mistakes and practise in a safe environment. It is an in-company training for 6 to 12 participants.

Do you recognise this?

Tomorrow you present the results to the client. You have already gone through the slides three times, and yet you notice that you are restless the night before. You can already hear yourself saying that you want to keep it short.

When you then stand in front of the group, your pace increases and you seek support from your slides. Afterwards you know that you knew more than you showed, and that gnaws at you.

Public speaking can be intimidating. Perhaps you wonder:

  • how to convey your ideas effectively without nervousness;
  • how to build a presentation that sticks;
  • which mistakes to avoid;
  • how to build more confidence in front of an audience.

Without the right skills and practice, this can lead to miscommunication, missed opportunities and a lack of confidence.

Why does speaking in front of a group feel so daunting?

Standing in front of an audience feels vulnerable, because everyone is looking at you. Without a fixed structure and practice you fall back on safe sentences, and your message loses power. Your ideas are good, but they do not come across that way.

That costs you more than a bad presentation. It costs energy in the days before, the desire to raise your hand and opportunities to be heard. This way you prefer to stay in the background more than is necessary.

It does not have to stay this way. Speaking is a skill you build, and nervousness is simply part of it.

How do you stand confidently in front of a group?

A presentation that sticks has a clear structure and a speaker who has practised. You can learn both.

Our coaches know how intimidating an audience can be. They give you a fixed step format for a presentation, strategies to improve your speaking skills and insight into the mistakes you are better off avoiding.

In one day you practise in a safe environment, so that you tackle the next moment with more confidence.
