This workshop will equip participants with the practical tools and techniques needed to deliver confident, structured, and impactful presentations. Through a combination of expert guidance, practical exercises, and peer feedback, attendees will develop the skills required to communicate clearly, manage nerves, and engage audiences effectively.
The programme will cover the core foundations of public speaking, including message structure, storytelling, voice and delivery techniques, posture and presence, and the effective use of visual content. Participants will also have the opportunity to practise their speaking skills and receive constructive feedback in a supportive and interactive environment.
Why Attend?
Public speaking is one of the most valuable—and most overlooked—skills in finance. Whether you’re presenting to a board, pitching to investors, or fielding questions from the media, how you communicate is just as important as what you say.
This isn’t a lecture. It’s a hands-on workshop where you’ll practise real techniques, get constructive feedback, and walk away with tools you can use immediately.
You’ll Learn How To:
- Master message structure and storytelling
- Improve voice, tone, and delivery
- Control your delivery — voice, tone, pacing, and body language
- Manage nerves and project confidence, even under pressure
- Handle media interviews with discipline and clarity
- Connect with your audience and keep them engaged
Two days. Small group. Expert facilitators.
