Description

It’s likely that at some point, you’ve had to sit through an ill-prepared and badly-delivered presentation. We assume that because someone understands a topic, they are able to pass on this knowledge effectively. However, while someone may be an expert in their field, this does not mean that they are also an good communicator.

So, the aim of this course is to help you become a better communicator – not to make you a PowerPoint wizard. This involves what you should consider before creating your presentation and how to tailor it to your audience, how you can use presentation software like PowerPoint to enhance rather than diminish your presentation, and how to deliver effectively to your audience.

Getting feedback from your audience or involving them in a discussion is also a key skill for an effective communicator, and we’ll examine the best ways to get your audience involved while keeping everything organised and under control.

• Preparing a presentation
• Knowing your audience
• Effective use of presentation software
• Delivering to an audience
• Facilitating discussion and feedback
