Overview

Whether delegates hold team briefings, present upwards, sideways or to the customer, this programme will help them tailor and pitch their presentation or briefing correctly. This highly personalised programme aims at providing the delegates with the knowledge of how to structure a presentation, as well as identifying each delegate’s strengths and development areas.
