Presenting Successfully comm_05_a01_bs_enus (Elective course for the Management & Supervision Certificate the Workplace Professional Certificate)
There are a number of basic types of presentations, but all presentations have four things in common: a presenter, an audience, a venue, and a message. This course concentrates on showing how each of these vital elements has to be taken into account when preparing a presentation. Presenting is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced, starting with how you prepare. You will be shown a simple but powerful method for selecting the right content and structuring it. Controlling nerves is an important part of preparing, and this course helps you remove anxieties in the presentation environment by making sure that the venue is set up correctly and by ensuring that you rehearse appropriately.
