Introduction

The successful delivery of a powerful presentation can be broken into three areas: Gaining and Maintaining of confidence; Construction of the presentation;. Mastering the mechanics of speaking to a group. Top sports people use NLP. The processes they use are modelling, looking at patterns, skills and techniques to achieve exceptional outcomes. These same processes can be used in day-to-day living to . . .

Gaining and Maintaining of confidence.

Speaking in public lists amongst the highest of fears in many people. Even for experienced speakers, it is important to establish a “state” of confidence before beginning a session. Included in this category is the skill of recovering from a mistake.

Construction of a presentation.

This is the skill of putting together a speech/training session which appeals to the many different learning skills of an audience. Many speeches and/or training sessions originate because there is some information (or a skill) which needs to be conveyed to the audience. However most adults do not learn by having information “dumped” on them!

A carefully designed presentation will incorporate four main learning styles in which adults prefer to learn.

Mechanics of speaking to a group.

Many well constructed presentations have been spoiled by poor mechanics being used. These include (but are not restricted to): poor eye contact with the group, ineffective voice production (pitch, intonation, volume), poor use of visual aids, using stories which do not link to the presentation, and answering question/s in a manner which loses the focus of the group.NLP
Neuro- Linguistic Programming (N.L.P.)
Neuro - the brain
Linguistic - language
Programming - like computers, the software programs which drive us both at a conscious and subconscious level.
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an in-depth study of understanding human thinking processes and human behaviour.

• Improve communication,
• Enhance personal development,
• Understand stress and its management, and
• Accelerate learning.

“If you do what you have always done, you are always get what you always got. If you are doing what is not working, try something else!”

The above statement is so true, and the science of NLP assists in working out what we are currently doing and developing strategies for changing things (if we want to).

The application of NLP in training is one of understanding the easiest and best pathways to learning, for the people who we are teaching. This course reveals some of the “secrets” of professionals. Professionals come across as graceful, articulate and sensational . What they really do is use subtle techniques which appeal to ALL the people in the room. This course will examine some of these secrets!
