Presenting to Groups

About this course

In-person (2-day)
Virtual (modular, 12 hours)

If you’re like most people, you probably dread having to stand up to present to a group. But presentations are here to stay—they’re a great way to share information, generate discussion and motivate your audience to act. Strong presentation skills build your credibility, make a positive impression, and play a big part in your personal and organizational success.

This course teaches you how to write clear, interesting presentations and present them with skill and confidence. If you’re selling externally, learn how to express the value proposition that differentiates you and your team from the competition. If you present internally, learn to be persuasive and clear.
