| ( One day Workshop ) |
| About the Course : |
This one day Presentation Skills workshop is specifically designed for individuals who currently have little or no experience of public speaking but expect to take the plunge soon.
They will be called upon to put into practice at the workshop itself what is being taught and to evaluate their progress at the session itself.
Every participant would be required to prepare a 5 minute Power Point Presentation containing a maximum of 15 slides (without any audio or video embedded) which must be saved by each participant on the laptop which will be used by the Facilitator for the workshop. The choice of topic is left to each individual |
| Workshop Format : |
The workshop will commence with a Self Introduction by each participant. This will not only be an Ice Breaker but give the Facilitator an overview of the spoken skills and confidence level of the group.
Thereafter, participants would have to make their presentations when called upon by the facilitator. Each presentation will be judged by all participants on a format given by the Facilitator.
The Facilitator will then take the audience through all the nuances of creating and then delivering a presentation.
Each participant can then self evaluate after this session, what he/she did right or wrong.
The next session will be on Group Discussion. The Facilitator will first take the participants through the form, structure and evaluation process of a GD and then have GD session to cover all the participants. Here again, every participant will be evaluated by the other members in the group.
The last session will be on Public Speaking. The facilitator will first cover the theory part and then participants will be called upon to speak at short notice just as it is done in Just a Minute. |
