Overview

This is a highly customizable course developed to elevate the public speaking & presentation skills of the team. Whether we’re talking in a team meeting or presenting in front of an audience, we all have to speak in public from time to time.

Even if you don’t need to make regular presentations but you need to handle situations in which a public speaking skillset plays a significant role in delivering the message across the team.

Methodology & Program Preparation:

• Phase One – Self-Presenting 5 Minutes: Participants will be expected to develop and prepare the initial presentation with their own creativity. They can select a topic which is according to their work. The participants will present it in Phase 1 of the program and will be given detailed individual feedback from the trainer.
• Trainer Led Session: They will learn public speaking/communication techniques with practical concepts, role plays, activities during the day and will actively participate in above activities.
• Phase Two: Participants will again present themselves in Phase 2 and this time the judging panel will also comprise the trainer and the audience. This phase will be completed by the trainer’s final feedback.
