Practical and cost-effective CIPR-Approved Training for PR practitioners in Wales

Pitching & Presenting for Success

A one-day workshop with Nicole Bowman


Who is this course for?

This course is designed for any in-house or agency PR professional who wants to improve his or her  presentation skills to win over audiences or succeed in pitches for new business.

Pitching and presenting can be nerve-racking, even for seasoned  professionals. This highly-practical course will help you master the process, so that you press the right buttons with prospective clients, directors, stakeholders or whoever you are trying to persuade. It will enable you to ensure what you say is passionate, yet professional.

You’ll learn the principles of designing and structuring a powerful presentation, how to align your material to your audience’s needs, and  a range of practical presentation skills such as building rapport , effective use of PowerPoint and disaster recovery.

With video playback, you’ll be able to see how your approach looks from the other side and identify strategies to improve.  We work in small groups to allow you time to practice new approaches and to receive tailored, one-to-one feedback on your presentation style.

The course is delivered by Nicole Bowman, who has worked for leading UK PR agencies and has led many award-winning national programmes and campaigns.

 

Course objectives:

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

·       Identify audience needs when planning presentations

·       Structure presentations to enhance memorability and create interest

·       Use simple design principles to create presentations with impact

·       Use stories to illustrate their presentations

·       List a range of strategies to overcome adrenalin and nerves
