Demand for virtual presentations is on the rise. Team meetings, webinars, client meetings, conferences and summits are being held virtually or at least in a hybrid format.

As Working From Home (WFH) is a norm, you will soon make presentations as you demo, present and communicate with those you supervise.

A lot of people fear virtual presentations even more than regular presentations. The reason: in real presentations at least you see who you are talking with, in virtual presentations a lot of times you don’t see them. As a result, you end up speaking into a void with no feedback. When your brain does not get the feedback it needs, it creates all sorts of scary scenarios. You don’t want that.

In this training session, you will gain confidence in conducting your virtual meetings & and learn to engage with your audience to avoid a scary dead silence or awkward online situations.

By the end of the program, you will be able to:

• Speak confidently in video meetings
• Avoid the common pitfalls of speaking in video meetings
• Project a professional video presence & engage others to get you message across effectively

Set up your home studio as video meetings will happen extremely often

All levels of executives & managers
i.e. Sales & Marketing, procurement, Finance, Logistics, Admin & Finance, Engineering & Maintenance, Security, IT etc.
Anyone else who would be hosting and participating in Virtual Presentations.

The job title does not matter – if attend video meetings, this will help you to project a good “brand”, because humans will associate your capability to produce results with the image they perceive of you.

You may be in the office presenting to a remote audience, or you are at home presenting to a remote audience that includes senior management in the Head Office.
