What is included as part of this course?
An initial scoping meeting to understand your requirements
We will meet you either online or in person to fully understand the goals that you need to achieve through presentations and public speaking. We will listen, ask questions and share ideas to ensure that we can produce the ideal presentation skills training solution for your business.
Course content tailored specifically to your team
All of our courses are tailored to the individuals involved within each session. The content and examples used will vary depending on the existing skill level and confidence of each participant. We will even contact all participants before the session to understand their ambitions and any particular areas that they would like us to focus on.
Workbooks and access to exclusive support content for all attendees
All attendees will be provided with a unique workbook during the session. Afterwards they will have access to all recordings from the training, as well as a library of Rich Public Speaking resources to use as they practice their public speaking throughout the year.
An online follow-up session after the training
All attendees will be entitled to an hour-long follow up session after the training. This is their opportunity to report back on progress, ask questions and receive additional feedback and training now that they have had the chance to practice what they have learned!
A specialised training venue
Some organisations prefer that the training is delivered offsite in a centralised or specialist training venue. We have access to a network of suitable sites across the country and can provide a venue to suit your specific needs. Some organisations have even asked us to create multi-day team training sessions, with over night stays and evening entertainment!
