Making Impactful Presentations Remotely
Format and Duration:
1 days
2 sessions
This course has been designed for professionals in the Energy Industry and is delivered as a short but impactful learning experience across two webinar sessions, providing participants with the skills and mindset to enable them to deliver highly impactful presentations in a virtual setting.
Business Impact: It was hard enough to make highly impactful presentations when we had a live audience. Making a virtually delivered presentation highly impactful has many additional challenges. How clear is our message? How do we manage discussions? How do we gauge engagement? How can the technology help us? How can the technology get in the way? How does the virtual environment affect the feelings of trust and credibility, and the attention span of our audience? We will answer all these questions and equip you with the tools and confidence to enable you to make presentations that are highly engaging and achieve your presentation objectives.
