This form of rhetoric training gives you the opportunity to put your presentation skills and rhetoric to the test. You will learn about your strengths as a presenter or speaker in order to regain your self-confidence in case of stage fright. At the same time, you will recognise areas in this rhetoric seminar that you would like to optimise and develop further in order to perfect your presentation. As a result, however, the most important aspect for your presentation training is: remain authentic in front of your audience!

• Know your own strengths and weaknesses
• Remain confident during difficult presentation situations
• Remain authentic in all presentation skills

This presentation training - in presence or as a webinar - is characterised by its distinct workshop character and its variety of methods and techniques. Starting with a video analysis, the seminar participants are given presentation techniques through continuous trainer input. The presentation training is rounded off by feedback from the other training participants and thus becomes a differentiated and practice-oriented coaching. To ensure a sustainable transfer of learning, you will receive corresponding handouts after the seminar.

• Actual analysis of presentation skills
• Trainer input on presentation techniques
• Video analysis to compare your self-perception with that of others
• Feedback from other participants on your rhetoric
• Group exercises on the tools for successful presentations

Whether for professionals or employees at higher levels - the advanced training Presentation Training is suitable for those who want to win over listeners with presentations in a confident, convincing and authentic way. The training is aimed at presenters and speakers who want to communicate convincingly both verbally with their voice and rhetoric and non-verbally by means of body language and eye contact. The target group of this presentation training consists of people who want to be aware of their strengths, but at the same time want to uncover potential for improvement for an even more effective presentation with the help of exercises.

You would like to conduct the presentation training in your company as an in-house training? That is of course possible! We will be happy to prepare an individual offer that meets your content priorities, your specified time frame and other wishes. Please send your request to: kontakt@drgkitzmann-akademie.de

Participating in this presentation training is worthwhile because you get the opportunity to receive feedback from the trainer and unbiased seminar participants regarding your presentation behaviour and rhetoric. Friends and acquaintances have only a limited ability to give you neutral feedback comparable to that of this training. At the beginning of this seminar, the group leader will provide feedback rules so that the quality of impressions is balanced and constructive in the course of the presentation training. Only by means of feedback is sustainable coaching created, which expands your skills and gives you a guideline for practice.

Transfer the learning objectives that you identified for yourself in your presentation workshop with the trainer to your everyday professional life by recalling them shortly before your presence in front of clients or employees. For example, you can make a point of making eye contact with your audience during the presentation in order to radiate confidence. Alternatively, if stage fright arises, you could make eye contact with a participant who is sympathetic to you in order to regain your calmness and composure. Executives receive these and similar tips in a presentation training course.

The aspects of a speech that listeners often find disturbing are numerous. Making yourself effectively aware of these unwanted elements through exercises and working on them is the goal in this presentation training:

• Agitated start to your presentation
• Lack of structure in your presentation
• Participants in your presentations miss eye contact
• Too little verbal interaction with the audience
• Interaction with the presentation technique seems unprepared

The closer this seminar comes to your everyday professional life, the better. In this respect, all participants are invited to bring their own presentations to the course or to send them to us in advance as contact persons. These could be, for example, the following presentation occasions:

• Internal presentations to employees and managers
• Product presentations for clients
• Presentations at congresses and events
• Speeches at company events by executives
• Speeches with PowerPoint or Apple Key Note
