Presentation Skills MasterClass – Thursday 6th September 2007, 2-5pm
This 3-hour MasterClass will get you into the right frame of mind to deliver
a sharp, confident, well-structured presentation – whatever your subject.
Bring along some content, and be prepared to get working on a presentation
to be proud of!
Who is this course for and where could I use these skills?
• Anyone who is called upon to ‘present’ material, whatever their role or
the topic
• Anyone who would like to feel more confident about being ‘up front’, or
who would like an easy way to structure a presentation that will engage and
maintain audience interest
Delegates will learn how to…
• Develop inner and outer presenting confidence
• Apply a simple structure to their presentation that will appeal to all
thinking styles
• Engage and maintain their audience’s attention throughout the event
Creative Thinking MasterClass – Thursday 13th September 2007, 2-5pm
This 3-hour MasterClass will get you thinking laterally, vertically and just
about any direction you’d like – but within a tried and tested framework
that applies the same principles that Walt Disney used to build his empire
and make millions out of ‘impossible’ ideas. If there’s an area of your work
that could do with some ‘creative flair’ adding, bring it along and see what
comes out of the session.
Who is this course for and where could I use these skills?
• Anyone who would like to add some creativity to their work or materials,
but are stuck as to how
• Anyone who would like some ‘science’ behind their creative tools, and a
useful framework within which to apply them for later use or introduction to
others
Delegates will learn how to…
• Learn a simple 4-step process that turns creativity into innovation
(application)
• Apply a framework for creative thinking that aids rather than inhibits it
• Use creative thinking tools that generate fresh approaches no matter how
‘non-creative’ the thinker
Decoding and Influencing Behaviour MasterClass – Thursday 20th September
2007, 2-5pm
This 3-hour MasterClass will shed some light on the people around you – what
motivates them, why they behave and come across as they do, why sometimes
you may as well be speaking a different language (and in fact, you probably
are) ... and what to do about it. If you would like more tools to
understand, influence and motivate people – at work or home! – come along
for a fascinating insight into what goes on ‘behind the scenes’ of our
minds.
Who is this course for and where could I use these skills?
• Anyone who would like to understand and communicate with others better
• Anyone who would like more influencing and motivation tools and skills
Delegates will learn how to…
• Identify ‘challenging people’ they know on a simple scale, and how that
shows in communication and personality styles
• Understand why different styles of language can cause conflict and how to
identify when to use which styles
• Learn different ways to influence even the most ‘difficult’ people, and
how to trigger motivation
