Effective Business Presentations

Would you like to be regarded as an excellent presenter, a truly professional public speaker and an effective orator?

Would you like people to listen to you, pay attention and then act on what you have said?

Would you like to banish the nerves and ensure that every business presentation you give is a credit to your performance?

People are not born great presenters; they have to learn how to do it.  The good news is, that public speaking is a skill that anyone can learn.

I learnt the hard way, by giving hundreds of presentations. Some of these were no doubt truly awful, but as I continued, I learnt what works and what does not. This knowledge has now been distilled in the ebook “The A to Z of Effective Business Presentations” or if you live in the south of England, you can attend one of my courses.

Presentation Skills Training

Would you like to be more poised, prepared, persuasive, positive and powerful for your next presentation?

Would you like to feel more composed, confident, commanding, convincing and compelling the next time you stand up to speak?

Now you can gain a head start on your colleagues, conquer your fears and discover how to give an effective, informative and entertaining business presentation.  A presentation that will change the way your audience think.  

In this technological age the power of a personal presentation is sometimes forgotten, but once you have discovered the secrets of giving an Effective Business Presentation there will be no stopping you. Imagine receiving a standing ovation after your next presentation. Imagine everyone talking positively about your topic. Imagine converting a whole room full of people to your way of thinking.

  • Do you want to know how to structure a presentation, so that it catches and keeps people’s attention?  
  • Are you more interested in how to ensure the audience acts on what you have said after they have left the room?

  • Do you know why some people are influenced by what you have said while others are left in the cold?  
     

  • How should you handle awkward questions from the floor and maintain control over the event?
     

  • What are the 5 main components of an effective presentation?

All these questions and many more are addressed by:

Young Markets - Effective Business Presentations Skills course. A one day, interactive event that will show you the ropes and let you practise.

Our presentations training course are compacted into one day, to reduce the amount of time you need to take out of the office, but you will learn as much if not more than on other providers 2 day courses.

Attending this course you will discover:

  • The secrets of how to give an Effective Business Presentation
  • The single most important aspect of any presentation
  • How to structure your presentation for maximum effect
  • What effect positive body language will have on your audience
  • How to tell if your presentation is a success
  • How to use your nervous anxiety to your advantage
  • Why the shotgun approach will kill your speech
  • Three key techniques to make your presentations memorable
  • How to increase the overall attention level
  • Why different people are influenced in different ways
  • How to use PowerPoint for maximum effect
  • How to appear composed and confident
  • The best way to ensure you don't forget anything
  • How to stop the "errs" and "umms"
  • Three golden rules you must consider about the room in which you are presenting
  • Hundreds of trade secrets, hints and tips to ensure your next presentation is a winner

If you have four or more people in your company who would benefit from improving their presentation techniques, why not book an in-house course. This is a very cost effective way of raising the standards of your staff and your customer's perception of your business. In addition to our standard one day course we also run two-day events which provide far more time for less experienced presenters to practise and learn how to give great speeches.

Not only will people listen and then act on your next presentation but by discovering how to give an Effective Business Presentation, you will:

  • Enhance your professional credibility
  • Improve your chances of success
  • Gain powerful allies
  • Widen the scope of your opportunities
  • Increase your authority at work

Young Markets uses video feedback as part of the learning exercise. Every participant is given a video of them presenting for their own personal review after the course.

What you won't learn on our Presentation Skills Courses

Unlike some other so called presentation training providers here are a few things we won't tell you on our courses:

  • Presentations are 55% visual, 38% vocal and only 7% verbal - this is an urban myth based on the mis-attribution of research conducted in the 1960's.

  • To look at people's foreheads, if you are too shy to look them in the eye - guess what? The audience can tell the difference.

  • To use your slides to remind you what to say next - this makes the slides lead the presentation rather than fulfil their role as visual aids.

  • How to tell a joke - this training is for business presentations not best man's speeches, humour is fine but jokes are out.

  • That you should never be nervous when speaking - being nervous is totally natural, it is how you handle it that matters.

If you can't attend one of these courses, then why not buy the book - “The A to Z of Effective Business Presentations

Learn how to captivate your audiences.  All it needs is the right guidance and some practise.

"The A to Z of Effective Business Presentations" 

This book provides that guidance. Everything you need to know about how to organise, structure and give an effective business presentation. All in one easy to read ebook.

I guarantee you won't be disappointed

Based on over 25 years experience of preparing and giving business presentations for multi-national companies, to audiences both large and small, this book contains a distillation of current best practise in the sphere of business presentation.

Independent Review
by Fiona Cowan of Summertime Publishing

It's an invaluable How To guide.

Invaluable for the novice presenter, to avoid the pitfalls nobody at work ever tells you about; when you're new you often concentrate so much on your own nerves, that there is no brain-time left for touches such as seating plans and technical run-throughs.

And the book is just as handy for the more experienced speaker, as a checklist and reminder for those who know they know what they're doing ... but want to feel sure they are covering absolutely everything.

I recommend every line manager in the country to buy a copy of this ebook and make it freely available to staff.

I look forward to reading further wisdom from Graham Young -- it's refreshing to see someone who clearly knows his stuff, who is unafraid to share it with the world in such an accessible and practical way.

Here is what you will get for only £8.75(+VAT) or $15.00.  Some extracts from the book are available on this site, just click on the hyperlinks to view these extracts.

There are over 65 full A4 pages, that's literally hundreds, of hints, tips and trade secrets on how to structure and give an effective business presentation.

What is the opportunity cost of your next presentation?

Not just your time, the room hire, equipment costs, time and money spent preparing, practising and promoting the presentation or seminar. What about the opportunity cost of all your delegates? The total cost will quickly run into the thousands of dollars or pounds. Is it not worth $15 to ensure you have remembered everything and to make sure your presentation is a wow?
