We’re pleased to announce the second programme in the training series we’re running in partnership with the Management Centre (=mc). Delivered by Bernard Ross (Director of =mc) this one-day intensive session will help you to develop the ability to make a powerful and memorable impact in small and large groups.

One of The Management Centre’s most popular programmes, Developing Personal Presence builds on the skills individuals already have, to develop a more sophisticated approach to impactful communications – from informal meetings to full-blown presentations.

The course will help you:

  • think on your feet and convey complex ideas quickly and effectively in impromptu or formal situations
  • convey an impression of authority, confidence and sincerity, especially when under pressure – or even under attack
  • convince or impress stakeholders
  • sell ideas to colleagues or those in more senior positions
  • communicate more effectively with important stakeholders

On the day you’ll cover…

The secrets of confidence and charisma: acquire the five key techniques to help you acquire ‘charisma’ and personal power – on demand

Developing a personal brand: understand how to create and assess yourself as a brand and position yourself appropriately

Communicating under pressure: discover how to organise and transmit your thoughts quickly and effectively

Presence principles: find out how experienced communicators convey presence through a mixture of eye contact, body language and voice

Structuring your ideas: learn how and when to use the seven ‘core’ structures to shape and present your ideas

Communicating to large audiences: acquire a new skill-set and approach for large audiences

Think-Feel-Do: discover how to structure your message so that it has the greatest impact

Changing minds: motivate people to change their view by understanding and using ‘hygiene’ factors and ‘motivators’

Be memorable: understand how people process information and make decisions – then make yourself and your ideas memorable

Learning Approaches

The programme uses extensive interactive approaches and activities. Be prepared to take part!

Who’s it for?

Developing Personal Presence will be of value to anyone in the nonprofit sector who wants to:

  • improve their ability to confidently and effectively present ideas
  • develop their negotiation skills and become more persuasive
  • communicate more effectively in small or large groups
