PM-PT
New Presentation techniques in projects
Description
The aim of the training is to enable participants to present project information packages in a confident and focused way, to present the facts to decision-makers in the right structure at each milestone, and to make a convincing case when communicating with project stakeholders. Throughout the life cycle of a project, the most important tasks of the project leader - and often of the project members - are, beyond the professional work, building relationships, representing the project, informing stakeholders, managing resistance, and dealing with uncertainty about changes that may occur as a result of the project. All this requires well-developed communication skills and confidence.
Suggested For
For project leaders and members who want to be more confident, focused and targeted in situations where they are speaking to multiple people (stakeholders, decision-makers) and need to be able to deliver their messages with the desired impact.
Benefits
Through lots of exercises, we help participants to find their own "voice", to be able to craft their main message according to their goals, to compose the content and to choose and create visual illustrations accordingly. The ideal size of the training is 8 people, so everyone has more opportunities to try out what they have learnt, with plenty of feedback to help them correct bad habits and find an effective, individual way forward.

Outline (PDF)After Course
It is recommended to include a practice day (ideally one or two weeks after the training), where participants will arrive with a presentation of their own, edited and practised according to the principles learned during the training. Experience has shown that this day helps to consolidate what has been learnt and to incorporate and consolidate new communication techniques. Following the training, company, programme or project office, or individual coaching and team coaching sessions allow participants to follow up on their progress, prepare for a specific communication situation or follow through with a development process based on the training.
