A personal note from Michelle Bowden…

Presentation Skills training should be an uplifting experience!

The good news when you’re deciding which presentation skills
training you should attend is you don’t have to put yourself
through embarrassing role plays, humiliating impromptu
presenting or red-faced, cringe-worthy moments to become a
fantastic presenter. It’s not necessary to learn acting techniques
that take away your authenticity and make you look fake or over
the top. And you definitely don’t need a PowerPoint course.

If you want to be a better presenter you need an experienced adult
educator with the skills to both teach you and manage the group
dynamic. You need an expert in persuasive business presentation
skills: someone who understands the art and the science, the
theory and the practice that underpins excellent business
presenting. You need someone who can guarantee you the results
you are looking for no matter your stage or experience. You need
to learn, laugh, practice, then learn and laugh some more.

Please don’t put it off another day. Take the action you need to
present your ideas so people sit up and listen when you speak.
Come and work with me – I look forward to meeting you and
helping you soon…

Excellent! I was a sceptic, now a convert! This course had changed the way I think about structure and the build of presentations - especially the open and close. I loved the energy and pace as well as the swift progress and building blocks.
