Our Presentation Skills Training workshop will boost your confidence and your skills.

Presentation Skills Training

Presentation skills training with ITD will have an impact on your skills and confidence. That’s because we use a blend of training and coaching, so that you develop during the session. This training is delivered virtually or in-person. Working on your presentation skills in the training, you get feedback and ideas on how to improve it from the experienced training consultant. If you’ve got specific questions, these will be answered. Typical questions we are asked include; 

  • How best to start and end the presentation?
  • What’s the best way to present complex data?
  • How to structure your presentation?
  • How to get the audience engaged?
  • What to do with your hands?
  • How to answer difficult questions.

You will develop both your content and how to present it through our live coaching approach. This means you present part of your presentation, receive feedback, and present again. In this way you develop and improve your skills.

ITD approach to Presentation Skills Training

The ITD approach to presentation skills training helps you increase your skills and confidence. 

We work with a very wide range of roles including; Managers, Sales People, Research Nurses, Scientists and Lawyers and many others to help develop their ability to present.

There are two key parts to this. Firstly knowing how to become a better presenter. This means in body language, knowledge of Powerpoint, your choice of words, your slide design, or any other of the many areas in presenting.

The second is how we help you to develop your skills and confidence. We do this by creating an open and comfortable learning environment in the training room, whether this is virtual or live. We also achieve this through our knowledge of behavioural change. This means we can help you put in place the changes you want to make. 

In conclusion our approach means we help people deliver. That’s because where some training just gives tips and ideas, we help change your behaviours.

Presenting with Impact Virtually

August 25, 2025

I recently attended the “Presenting with Impact Virtually” training workshop led by Martin Chapman, and it was a thoroughly engaging and practical experience. Martin’s delivery was professional yet friendly, making the virtual format feel interactive and enjoyable. The session was well-structured, with clear slides and practical examples. I highly recommend his training services for anyone looking to improve their presentation skills in a virtual setting.

Comprehensive and Engaging Training

July 25, 2025

I recently attended Martin’s ‘Working Effectively’ and ‘Professional Business Communication’ online training sessions and both were excellent. Martin is very engaging and ensures that participants all contribute to discussion. The sessions were very useful, drawing on real anecdotes and scenarios relevant to our level of work. I found both training sessions impactful and will carry the lessons learned into my work. Thanks Martin!

Working Effectively at Clifford Chance - Martin Chapman

July 25, 2025

I attended this session delivered by Martin and found it very insightful and engaging. Martin shared very realistic scenarios which required us to challenge how we would respond and the impact of different ways of saying things. A very interactive session and it was easy to remain engaged. I took away a lot from it
