Presentations made to senior management are called ‘staff presentations’. They are made by the staff, to the senior echelons of an organisation, to help the latter in making decisions. They are not ‘marketing presentations’: there are no gimmicks, with the priority is on clarity over aesthetics. 

This course covers presentations in 6 components: preparations, slides, speech, body language, emotional management, and debate.

Workshop Outline
