During interview selection processes, you’ll often need to:
- make a brief ‘around the table’ introduction;
- present ‘off-the-cuff’ summaries of group work;
- deliver a pre-prepared formal presentation.
Mock presentations, guided by a professional, are the very best way to:
- Develop a professional but comfortable style
- Confidently handle each of the above challenges
- Focus your ability to deliver ‘hit-home’ messages
- Overcome your anxiety and control nerves
I run mock presentations which are tailored towards the type of work or a specific opportunity that you’re applying for. I take the time to understand what you’ll be judged against and work with you accordingly.
A session typically covers:
- Formal visual-aid, introductory and ‘impromptu’ presentations
- Assessing and controlling your audience
- Selecting, structuring and displaying content
- Staying on-message throughout
- Managing your body language, appearance and actions
- Using breathing, to aid voice-projection
- Speaking exercises, to develop comfort and confidence
- Handling nerves and overcoming hitches, when they arise
- ‘Reaching’ your audience, to drive engagement and bonding
A first presentation session costs £80, further sessions being £40, if needed. Key benefits for you are the flexibility and adaptability of this service, delivered at any time to suit you, including at short notice, during evenings or at weekends. To go ahead and book your session -
