Learn how to make a powerful and memorable impact in small and large groups, with this intensive one-day programme delivered by Bernard Ross. This is the second in the current training series run by Ask Direct in partnership with the Management Centre (=mc).
One of The Management Centre’s most popular programmes, Developing Personal Presence builds on the skills individuals already have, to develop a more sophisticated approach to impactful communications – from informal meetings to full-blown presentations.
The course will help you:
- think on your feet and convey complex ideas quickly and effectively in impromptu or formal situations
- convey an impression of authority, confidence and sincerity, especially when under pressure – or even under attack
- convince or impress stakeholders
- sell ideas to colleagues or those in more senior positions
- communicate more effectively with important stakeholders
On the day you’ll cover:
- The secrets of confidence and charisma: acquire the five key techniques to help you acquire ‘charisma’ and personal power – on demand
- Developing a personal brand: understand how to create and assess yourself as a brand and position yourself appropriately
- Communicating under pressure: discover how to organise and transmit your thoughts quickly and effectively
- Presence principles: find out how experienced communicators convey presence through a mixture of eye contact, body language and voice
- Structuring your ideas: learn how and when to use the seven ‘core’ structures to shape and present your ideas
- Communicating to large audiences: acquire a new skill-set and approach for large audiences
- Think-Feel-Do: discover how to structure your message so that it has the greatest impact
- Changing minds: motivate people to change their view by understanding and using ‘hygiene’ factors and ‘motivators’
