A feedback session looks at the structure, messaging and body language aspects (including posture, eye contact, gestures).

Team B – with benefit of earlier feedback then delivers its own presentations.

Followed by a detailed commentary from trainer on projection, clarity, pace, pausing.

Coffee Break

Message Development Workshop: Trainees are now introduced to a template structure designed to organise their thoughts, focus their messaging, and create much greater delivery impact in every presentation.

As practice, trainees will work with the ‘Presentation Template’ to organise and streamline the presentation they bought with them for the day. All trainees will deliver their presentations after lunch.

Lunch

After lunch, a brief demo from trainer on how to handle visual aids, and PowerPoint shortcuts.

Presentation Delivery Workshop: Team B members deliver their presentations in video filmed and timed environment, the Q&A at the end recruiting members of Team A to ask questions.

Team A then deliver their presentations, followed by Q&A with Team B.

Discussion on handling questions

Coffee Break

Feedback and analysis using video tape playbacks.

Round 3: Team A and Team B self-select one or two spokespersons to deliver a final presentation round, incorporating all the day’s learnings and encourage a spirit of good-natured competition.
