The Art of Persuasion – Course Outline
Present with Power, Confidence & Authority
Introduction:
Most jobs in today’s corporate world involve presentations – be it to clients, colleagues or to the management. And the truth is, just as a book is often judged by its cover, we are more often than not, judged by how we say things rather than what we say.
Presentation is not just about standing at the podium and running through the slides. It is about engaging the audience’s attention and presenting your ideas in a clear, concise and persuasive manner. It involves being prepared in all aspects of presentation versus simply focusing on a power point presentation.
