Effective presentation

Date: September 22 and 28 | Time: 09:00-17:30 | Place: Riga | Membership fees: 450 EUR + VAT

Intended for:


For professionals of various industries who regularly make presentations and perform in front of work colleagues, clients, as well as larger audiences, for the improvement of presentation skills.

​

Challenge:

 

A great presentation explains, motivates and unites, sells, promotes careers, helps achieve personal and group goals. Failed presentation? It achieves all the same. Only with a negative sign.

​

Each of us quite naturally "knows" what a good presentation should be. After listening to a speech, message or presentation of an idea, we can explain with arguments: have we understood the presenter's idea, has he convinced us, has the presentation aroused sympathy and a desire to cooperate.

​

However, when it comes to self-presentation, most people get nervous, shy, and stutter. Wanting to say everything at once, speaks a lot of words, but does not convey the idea. Trying to include every possible detail in your slides misses the point. Trying to achieve long-term goals in one presentation creates more problems than before.

 

How to avoid these popular mistakes? How to create your “perfect presentation”?

​

The answer can be found through more focused questions. How to create a presentation message? How to make a presentation? How to present dry and technical information in an exciting way? How to make a convincing impression in front of the audience? How to engage the audience? When and how to use handouts? How to use other technical aids?

​

Answers to these and other questions - in the seminar "Effective Presentation" by Kārlis Apkalns.

​
