Research carried out in the USA showed that more people are afraid of public speaking than they are of dying (the 2^nd greatest “fear”).

Despite this, many people find themselves in roles where they are expected to deliver important presentations internally to staff, and externally to clients. This is often without any formal help or training in what makes a “good” or “poor” presentation format and delivery. In many cases, this can be the difference between agencies winning or losing pitches. Even if your agency can deliver outstanding results, being able to articulate this effectively to clients is essential to an agencies development. 

UpFront are offering an opportunity to those in business development and senior management roles to provide a clear framework on how best to structure a presentation.

Our early evening seminar ‘Business Presentation Skills’, is presented by Chris Gallagher (a previous Tack International executive coach), and aims to provide you with a practical framework to maximize the impact of your agency’s presentations

Chris, who trains, mentors, and coaches agencies across all communication disciplines, will be available to answer any questions - general or specific to your business.

Who Should Attend?

This seminar is appropriate for all agency staff who presents either internally or to clients.

How Will I Benefit?
