Presentation Skills for IT Professionals

Presentation skills of great value to IT professionals, managers, and executives at all organizational levels. By their nature, presentations are given to people you are trying to influence, impress, receive agreement from, and/or motivate.

This class, which is customizable to your business needs, was designed by the past president of National Speakers Association New England and is designed to enhance your business presentation skills, including your preparation and materials (PowerPoint slides, etc.), giving the actual presentation, and controlling the room during the process.

What people say about our training

Knowledgeable instructor who used tools other than just the database tool and WebEx (such as the whiteboard) that appeal to the right side of my brain. The graphic representation of tables via drawing with colors provided me with an easier learning experience and a more complete way to remember dry material.
