Powerful Presentation Skills - our two day course

Liz Banks - Skillstudio

Hi there, I'm Liz Banks, Welcome to Skillstudio

Skillstudio is passionate about helping you maximise your impact in front of an audience.

Powerful Presentation Skills is an intensive and highly interactive two-day training course to help ensure you get the most from all presentation opportunities.

The course is ideal for people who are already experienced presenters or public speakers and who now want to achieve more through their presentations.

Throughout the workshop you will gain a wide range of practical experience through numerous exercises (voice, physical presence, body language etc) and the delivery of four presentations. Each of the presentations provides a different challenge and will allow you the opportunity to present in a different style.

Public speaking training with a difference

Many of our training techniques have been derived from the theatre and performing arts, where performing in front of an audience is everything.

We have taken these ideas and adapted them for the "real world" to ensure that you get the most out of your time with us as you develop your confidence and new skills.

We guarantee you'll notice a difference.

A unique learning experience

Liz Banks - Skillstudio

The workshop is very interactive and practical.

The course includes learning how to make presentations more interesting and entertaining, how to deliver a persuasive message and how to use language to help expand your influence over your audience.

Feedback is ongoing throughout the course through group discussion, video playback and tutor analysis. By the end of the workshop you will have developed a greater flair in presenting and learnt how to use your own personal style to maximum effect. Our advanced workshops provide a unique learning experience in a supportive yet challenging environment. This allows you to quickly build on your existing skills as you experiment and learn through practical experience.
