Presentation Skills Training In The Real World

The final general category of presentation skills training offered is the offline option. This includes training with a coach or trainer. It can be a number of lessons or a presentation skills workshop. Other choices are one on one or in a group and some will come to your premises.

Depending on training, they will provide information but will also give the chance to practice what has been learnt in front of the group or coach. This can help overcome presentation skills nerves. One big advantage of one on one training is that it can be tailored to the person's ability and experience.

There is probably not a right or wrong type of presentation skills training. The option chosen depends on the experience, a persons budget, their own personal comfort zone etc. The only wrong type of presentation skills training is if it is not used.

Presentation Skills Training Types Available

Online there are many public speaking, presentation skills training and courses available. There are basically 3 types of training provided;

Instantly downloaded or streamed presentations skills training. This includes e-books, audio or video. The training is usually instantly available and you can get going straightaway with improving your presenting and public speaking skills. There is normally limited support from the publisher. The price usually less than the other types of training.

Next there are membership sites that offer presentation skills training. They include the above resources, normally in a streamable format. In addition there is a forum where it is possible to discuss questions about public speaking and presenting, as well as related topics. The sites are updated on a regular basis with new information and resources. There will usually be an ongoing charge to continue to access to the resources and support.

The final presentation skills training type is offline training, to be discussed in my next post.

Presentation Skills Training Still Needed

Today, effective presentation skills are still very much needed and in demand. Even with all the high tech communication equipment, they have not replaced the need for persuasive and engaging in person communication for big decisions or ordinary day to day events. We continue to need face to face communication to sort problems, make decisions and for better understanding etc, in groups of a few to more than 500. We want the personal touch and engagement.

Many people continue to struggle with presenting to groups. It can hold them back both personally and their organization. Effective presentation skills training can help overcome these problems.

Presentation skills training can address PowerPoint presentation skills, the organization of a speech, how to improve delivery and public speaking anxiety. In some cases more can be achieved with a few ideas fluently and confidently presented than 5 years hard work.
