Leadership presentation training

Leadership presentation training helps when leaders need to inspire by presenting the way forward to their team, or the wider organisation.

This workshop helps those in leadership positions with the skill of inspiring through a presentation. Leaders sometimes need to explain difficult messages; why things have to be done in a certain way; or why things aren’t going to be done; why downsizing is needed; why there will be no pay rise this year.

Leaders also need to inspire through explaining the vision for the future, the way ahead and where the team is going and how they are going to get there.

Participants consider such challenges and bring these into the workshop. With help form the trainer they then design a presentation which will lead their audience and inspire them.

Leadership presentation training with ITD

Our approach to leadership presentation training is a blend of training and coaching so that participants work on their skills in the session and develop their ability. They learn how to deliver leadership presentations and then practice the skills involved, with coaching from the training consultant.

Typical challenges of participants on our leadership presentation training:

• “I have some difficult messages to communicate over the next year, so I would like to know the best way to put these across.”
• “Some people think they are better than they are, and this can be a challenging conversation.”
• “We are going to outsource and offshore some services in the next 18 months and I need to learn the best way to present this message to the whole business.”

How do adapt our leadership presentation training to your organisation?

1. We will adapt the training to suit your needs and the needs of the participants at no extra cost.
2. Your people will get training to help their challenges not just generic training.
3. We will work with you to scope the time and style of workshop which best addresses your needs.
