Description

Improve your presentation skills and learn how to engage with your audience

Presenting to an audience, either online or in person, can be a daunting prospect, and requires specific skills in order to be successful.

It doesn’t matter what your level of experience is, this course will help build your confidence and give you the tools you need to improve your presenting style.

Build presentation skills based on your strengths and weaknesses

You’ll reflect on your own presentation style, identifying aspects where you feel you excel as well as areas where you need to improve.

You’ll learn how to add personality and life into your presentation style, and you’ll also decipher how to explain information clearly and effectively to your audience without needing to rely on jargon or them having pre-existing subject knowledge.

Understand how to sharpen and improve your public speaking

Whether you’re presenting to a formal meeting or speaking to 500 people from a stage, you’ll find out how to sharpen your presenting skills and pitch to whomever your audience may be, specifically through improvisation and storytelling.

You’ll also learn what to do when things go wrong and will learn how to tackle difficult and controversial questions as well as how to manage challenging audience behaviour.

Finally, you’ll apply what you have learned in theory and put it into practice, and will share and discuss your thoughts and fears with other learners.

Learn from The Presenter Network at the Royal Observatory Greenwich

The Presenter Network – founded by the Royal Observatory Greenwich – brings people together to provide a supportive space where members can share experiences and techniques to help everyone grow and develop as presenters.

You’ll learn from a range of experts within the presentation field, and will be able to tap into a vast and experienced network of presenters.

Great Course. Really well put together.

good. like this lecturer, wanna join Ms.Avery other lessons.

The course was not bad. It improved my speaking skills, especially when speaking off the cuff, telling stories, and weaving narrative into speeches.

What I like most about this course is how it helps us distinguish our strengths and weaknesses in public speaking. Very good course.

This course taught me how to add personality and vitality to my presentation style to make my speeches more vivid and powerful.

I had no idea how to give a speech in front of an audience, and the course was great. It helped me build my confidence and provided me with the tools I needed to improve my speaking style. That's great.
