Speaking from the Front
   
Speaking from the Front - communication skills for every situation

The communication skills programs are designed and implemented by Kevin Ryan who has extensive experience in working with business managers and staff, community leaders and groups and industry associations. In the last fourteen years, he has helped thousands of people to become more confident communicators. 
 
These courses are designed to be relevant for everyone  – enhancing their ability to communicate with a group or individuals, and to present information in an efficient, effective manner. The skills are applicable when speaking to clients, peers, management and staff, either in a group or a one-on-one situation, as well as participating in meetings and similar situations.
 
Each program is individually tailored to suit the needs of the group - so they are all slightly different; however you can expect the following areas to be covered: preparing & delivering a speech or presentation, speaking 'off-the-cuff', participating in meetings, speaking to inform, speaking persuasively, using PowerPoint and other aids, responding to the media, conducting meetings - formal & informal, listening & feedback skills

In this course you will learn...
The 7 steps to a successful presentation 3 ways to improve your listening instantly 3 ways of never being 
'stuck for words' again
Participants will prepare material to deliver and they will receive feedback to highlight strengths and areas for improvement. The course is conducted in a workshop style environment where participants receive skills training as well as the opportunity to apply those skills in realistic role-plays.
