An excellent programme, well structured to deliver presentations and learn areas for improvements.
I’d encourage everyone to just go ‘do it!’ It may be daunting but you will absolutely be glad you did it.
I learned that practice practice practice gives you more confidence.
I loved using the mind maps to write speeches and being able to talk just from an outline, mind map and / or slides without writing everything out.
I’d recommend this programme wholeheartedly. It’s a fast way to upskill yourself in giving presentations / speeches.
My biggest gain was being able to throw away the written notes rather than having everything written word for word and to trust myself to talk to my topic.
Loved the mind map session for speech structure and memory and learning how to pause rather than use gap fillers.
Awareness of how to use body language was another useful skill learned.
Definitely worth participating in and a great opportunity to practice in a safe environment, get feedback and learn how to improve.
I felt a lot of useful experience was gained in only five weeks. I could see big improvements in myself and others.
Biggest learning was to ditch writing a speech and use mind mapping instead.
A great learning for me was to be myself and to use appropriate humour and smile.
