Many Irish people are terrified at the thought of presenting to an audience. The ability to influence others is essential for business owners, salespeople and other representatives of an organisation.
Presentations are often an essential element in making deals, closing sales and influencing opinion, but the best prepared presentation can go desperately wrong when the presenter has “stage fright”. Following the success and feedback from the one day ‘Presenting with Confidence’ courses developed by Galway based business and life coach Evelyn Cormican in association with The Galway County and City Enterprise Board, two new dates have been agreed for the autumn ; Tuesday Sept 6tand Friday Nov 11th from 9am to 5pm in the Galway County and City Enterprise Board offices in Woodquay Court, Woodquay, Galway.
This full day interactive workshop will provide proven methods, practical tips, and role play to boost performance and settle those nerves. It will focus on engaging your audience and delivering your message with confidence.
‘Presentation skills are probably the most underestimated in business. Good presenters relate to their audience, they inform, they are understood, they engage and connect.
Whether you want to win sales or investment, how you present yourself and your business will add to or take from how you grow your business,’ stated Ms Breda Fox, CEO, Galway City and County Enterprise Board.
"Our fear of presenting to an audience can go back to our school days, we might not have been encouraged and acknowledged for our efforts at reading in front of a class, but very often the opposite, our mistakes were highlighted and corrected, these events may have built up a negative association with speaking in public and can impact our perception of speaking to a group," commented Evelyn Cormican, trainer of Presenting with Confidence.
