The nature of communication is changing. The influence of social media and vast improvements in hand-held communication technology is making it necessary for the public sector to be able to present information, ideas and recommendations much more quickly, succinctly and in a more impactful way.
Presentation Skills Training – Government is designed for people who want to become better communicators. As the title suggests, participants learn how to prepare for and deliver effective presentations, thereby ensuring the audience is thoroughly informed, persuaded and engaged. There is ample time during the workshop to practice presentation techniques to successfully and professionally communicate your message to your audience. So participants can see where they can improve, we use a video camera to record each presentation. The presentations are then played back and critiqued.
With practice and preparation, you will quickly learn to be a persuasive and engaging communicator on behalf of your government organisation. During this course, you will also discover how important it is to turn negative questions posed by the audience into positive statements. Some audiences expect government representatives to be able to answer any question at all – even those that really should be addressed by a Government Minister.
Presenters from the public sector need to be able to address such issues in an empathetic way and deliver useful and relevant information without crossing that political line.
Whether it is to develop presentation skills or improve them, this program will make anyone better a better presenter on their feet in front of any audience.
