Public speaking and presentation skills training for managers

Presenting with impact in meetings, presentations and high-stakes conversations.

If your managers lack strong presentation and public speaking skills, meetings run longer, decisions slow down and priorities get lost, increasing cost and reducing performance.

Presenting with impact is a one-day, in-house presentation skills course for managers, focused on clear, confident communication in real workplace situations.

This course equips managers with the skills to:

  • Engage and influence different audiences
  • Present with confidence and credibility
  • Communicate clearly under pressure
  • Manage nerves
  • Handle questions and challenges calmly


This course is often used as part of a wider leadership and management development programme, particularly where technical experts have stepped into people-management roles.
