Back Public speaking

Present your research project

Training in public speaking

You come to this course with a presentation of your choice. Throughout the first day, we will help you make it more convincing, whilst teaching you a 3-step method to help prepare your oral presentations. Over the next 2 to 3 weeks, you will have time to work on your presentation at home. During a second training session, you then trial the new version and the group provide advice. This is the perfect occasion to improve presentation materials, simplify speeches and build-up some “catchy” catchphrases.

The course combined practical tips with hands-on training, which I found extremely useful for the future. Working on a real presentation made the feedback personal and directly applicable, and the trainer’s tailored guidance was greatly appreciated.

A very engaging training delivered in just two days. It offered a great mix of presentations, videos, and hands-on activities. The practical session on the second day was particularly valuable.

This is not my first training on how to communicate, but I must say that this program exceeded my expectations. The SELL approach provides proper guidance on how to communicate.
