The powerful presenter

Professionals and leaders are expected to deliver a message effectively and with impact. By means of this, they need to give full weight to their own interests and to the interests of the listener. Clear storylines help bring the message across clearly, just as establishing the right perspective and supporting your message with appropriate body language. With this course you will be able to deliver your message more effectively and with greater impact.

Why do so many people feel tense before and after giving a presentation? You are good at your work and in what you do. Why then is telling a convincing story so difficult? And why is there both during and after a presentation so much noise?

You give presentations regularly and want to become more effective in them. Of course you would like to speak more naturally and to keep to your storyline. And it goes without saying, that you would like to deal easily with listeners that may have different expectations than you. Above all, you want to be the messenger and be less dependent on sheets and other accessories. In order to help yourself to make a step in this direction, it is valuable to become more sure of yourself, in moments when all eyes are trained on you.
