The overall objective of the programme is to develop presenters who can design and deliver presentations that are competent, professional and achieve their outcomes.
The programme will be divided into three components:
- Day one – fundamentals of presentations
- Two weeks to prepare a presentation
- Day two – delivery of presentations to each other with structured feedback.
DAY ONE
Day one will cover:
- Characteristics of Great Presenters
- Preparation
- Know your outcome
- Know your audience
- Know your material
- Structuring your Presentation
- Start, Middle and End
- 4-MAT System
- Presentation Aids
- 7 Top Design Tips
- Your Impact
- Your Voice and your body language
- Difficult situations
- Confidence and managing your state
- Your audience
- Engaging and involving your audience
- Adding interest
- Handling questions
- Action planning
Throughout the day people will be filmed giving short presentations. These films will form a development diary, for people to watch and observe their own progress. You will also be given an observer checklist to use when watching the film, so that you can spot your strengths and further development areas. (These films will not be shown during the programme).
Preparation period
Using the skill and knowledge gained on the day people can then revisit their existing presentations they give and make amendments, changes and improvements.
DAY TWO
This day will consist of each person delivering their presentation, with the rest of the group being their audience. The audience will ask appropriate questions, and then at the end of the presentation give feedback based on the observer checklist.

Aims of the programme:
- To understand and focus on achieving priorities
- To work smarter and maximise time at work
- To manage interruptions and boundaries
- To get to resolution on work – complete tasks.
A suggested outline for the programme:
Telephone call to agree personal learning agenda:
Discussing each person’s time challenges and defining their success measures for the programme.
One day workshop topics:
- Priorities – what are mine?
- Managing my day – when am I at my best?
- Planning and achieving – how can I plan more effectively?
- Getting things done – how can I be more efficient?
- Delegation – tools for effective delegation
- Managing those around me – managing interruptions and panics
- Setting goals – ensuring I deliver on my commitments
The day will be very interactive, giving people practical tools that work in the real world. Each person will have the opportunity to take a “step back” from their role to think about how they can work more effectively, and manage the time challenges they face.
Telephone call follow-up:
After three weeks each person will be called and coached about how they have implemented their action plan. This call serves many purposes:
- People know that someone will call – therefore they are more inclined to implement their actions
- Offers one to one coaching on their specific challenges
- Provides you with useful evaluation data
- Gives more encouragement to each person to use the tools introduced on the programme.
