Overview/Description
There are a number of basic types of presentations, but all presentations have four things in common: a presenter, an audience, a venue and a message. This course concentrates on showing how each of these essential elements has to be taken into consideration when preparing a presentation. Presenting is a skill that needs to be learned and practised, starting with how you prepare. This course demonstrates a simple but powerful method for selecting the right content and then structuring it. Controlling nervousness is an important part of preparing and this course helps you to remove anxieties in the presentation environment by making sure that the venue is set up correctly and ensuring that you rehearse appropriately.
