Description

Learn how to enjoy giving business presentations and public speaking - and captivate your audience

Giving a presentation is one of those things you just can’t escape these days. And for most people it’s a painful experience. This course is dedicated to them. It’s also dedicated to anyone who has got past the ‘I hate doing presentations... I hate public speaking' phase to the ‘How do I become a stellar performer?”

Over the years, Len Smith has given literally thousands of presentations, across Europe and North America. Everything from small boardroom sessions to theatre-style multilingual roadshows. In this course he reveals all.

Even if you are already a proficient speaker, you will almost certainly benefit from learning some of the techniques that can add power to any presentation.

You will discover:

· how to project ideas with confidence

· a simple, proven structure that works every time

· controlling panic and using nerves

· timing - how to pace a talk and stay within time

· handling questions with ease

· turning round an unresponsive or hostile audience

· easy ways to maintain interest

· brain death - how to cope with every speaker's worst fear

· covert rehearsal - eliminating the pain

· ensuring your visual aids really do add impact

Anatomy lesson

We look at the anatomy of a successful presentation. You will learn a simple structure that will cover the requirements of almost any business presentation you will ever have to give. A structure that can enable you to prepare a presentation in minutes. And remember, a speaker working to a structure, a speaker who at all times knows where they are going, is a confident speaker.

Len has trained speakers from start-ups to family businesses and multinationals. His style is lively, entertaining and very engaging. He has presented on BBC’s Executive Business Channel, as well as producing presentations for organizations such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, IBM, Welcome and Pharma Systems.

For the past 20 odd years Len has run his own business, Copywriting On Demand and manages The-Writers-Guru.

He works from home, writing copy for organisations around the world - and lots of them have become personal friends.

With forty years' experience in marketing, he spent three years in Paris responsible for IBM product marketing in 14 countries across EMEA.

His biggest market is the USA, followed by the UK, the Arab states and the Netherlands. His business comes via the web and his website attracts more than 1,000 visits a day.

Clients are as diverse as Vodafone, The Finance Leasing Association, Lloyds, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the BBC, a number of multinational pharmaceutical companies - even a TV 'Secret Millionaire'.

Married for more than 50 years (a world record?) he has three sons.

He lives in a rambling old vicarage in Yorkshire that has the distinction of having been built by the Brönte sisters’ Uncle Fennel. Charlotte’s earliest recorded letter was written from the vicarage during one of the children’s brief holidays there.

His interests have included competitive rallying (including an attempt at the Monte Carlo Rally and the Paris Marrakesh), and paragliding. These days he is content with art and opera.

Vacation time aside, Len aims to answer student queries within hours.

Hi, my name is Sean Kaye and I have the luxury of solving varied and complicated problems using technology for a living.

Ever since I can remember, I've been fascinated by the way technology evolves to more efficiently and effectively help people get things done.

For the last 20 years of my career, I've worked with large companies to apply leading edge technology to deliver results and to help them achieve their desired business goals and outcomes.

I've been involved with every major wave of technology since the early 90's working with companies to connect to the internet for the first time, designing early web-enabled ecommerce platforms through to cloud computing and hybrid IT over the last ten years especially.

During that time, I've worked with the technology of every major platform and vendor in the public and private cloud space such as: VMWare, Google, Microsoft and Amazon.

In my spare time over the past decade, I setup and run a few of online marketing services businesses with my wife.  This area has expanded my mind and skillset into things like SEO, Copywriting and Content Marketing.  In particular, I've been able to combine these online marketing skills with my technology and management experience to help people setup and operate their own online businesses successfully.

I'm originally from Toronto, Canada but have been living in Sydney, Australia for the past 21 years with my wife and son.

Udemy has been a great experience for me having taught over 70,000 students since starting back in 2013 and I look forward to helping you achieve your ambitions and dreams.
