The fundamentals of remote business presenting & virtual communication
With workplaces all over the world turning fast to virtual communication, we know many teams will find themselves in the uncomfortable and unfamiliar position of not being able to communicate in person. Don't worry - we've got you covered.
Our highly popular flagship business presentation skills programme has now been adapted for a virtual world. This innovative and engaging online course takes place live in small coaching groups and covers all the fundamentals of delivering compelling and persuasive remote presentations, updates, team meetings and briefings. You or your team will hone their virtual communication skills and become better remote presenters by learning then practising techniques to authentically sell your ideas, inspire confidence, engage your virtual audience and motivate them to action. Content includes: mastering virtual technology (camera and mic technique), appropriate non-verbal communication, presenting virtually with confidence and warmth, reducing anxiety, structuring for impact, enhancing vocal variety, story-telling for business, utilising virtual engagement tools (polls, virtual breakout rooms, real-time responses) and creating powerful visual aids. Plus, we're setup to deliver via most virtual platforms, from Zoom training to Microsoft teams, Skype to Google Meet.
As with all our programmes and workshops, a thorough consultation process enables the exact content to be co-designed in collaboration with your learning strategy and tailored to meet the participant’s unique learning needs.
