Painless Presenting - 4th November, Wellington

Full day presentation skills workshop in Wellington. Limited tickets available. Get in now so you don't miss out!

Who's it for?

You work in a technical field. You’re great at your job — but struggle to get your ideas across the business.

You often:

• Dive into technical detail that loses or confuses your audience

• Overload people with too much information, which makes it harder to get the results you need

• Find it tough to explain complex areas of your role in a way others can easily understand

• Spend hours planning presentations, yet still feel stiff and uncomfortable when delivering

• Feel nervous when presenting, and wish you could speak with more ease and confidence

If this sounds like you, Painless Presenting will help you cut through complexity, present clearly, and build the confidence you know is vital for your career growth.

What you will learn:

A proven step by step process that will take the pain out of planning presentations and set the foundations for becoming a more engaging, natural and effective business presenter.

Participants are taught how to write a valuable business presentation, how to manage their nerves, design useful visuals and are given key delivery techniques to help deliver their presentations in a natural and engaging way.

You will come away with:

• an understanding of how to use the SpeakerMap™ system, a step by step, proven approach to planning presentations quickly and effectively

• a new appreciation of purpose when speaking

• an understanding of how to quickly design useful presentation visuals

• how to easily overcome the problems of speaking too fast, um-ing and ah-ing, and losing your place

• a tailored strategy to dissolve the anxiety that so often accompanies presenting

• three delivery tricks that will help you come across as credible and confident

Note: You will not need to present to the group on this course. If you are interested in a more intensive training option, including one on one coaching, check out our 2 day workshop The Effective Speaker.

What past participants say:

"By far the best course i have attended in any organisation, either here in NZ or abroad. The format of the course was engaging and there was a great balance between listening, engaging and participating. I look forward to using the skills used presenting at our next Team Hui!"

Matthew Townsley, Medical Council of New Zealand


"Really great course, no pressure environment with a good mix of interactive and book work. Have walked away feeling more confident in how I am going to put my presentations together."

Jessica Stokes, Emergency Management Team, New Plymouth District Council

"It was good, practical and useful tools "not rules" for business comms and pressos. Good to learn some of the other things you don't often learn in traditional presentation skills training. Really good engagement and interaction - the team were impressed we were all engaged right until the end! Easily one of the best courses I have been on in this line of work. Keep up the good work! "

Brad Stansell, Channel Account Manager, Pax 8
