Advanced Seminar:
English Business Presentation & Communication Skills
Goal:
The Advanced Seminar will give every participant the opportunity to present prepared presentation that incorporates all the learned guidelines from Seminar 1. Each presenter will be recorded on video tape and will receive thorough feedback by two senior coaches. This seminar will look more specifically at body language and presenting skills, as well as at individual grammar and vocabulary weaknesses.
Each participant has to incorporate the feedback into an improved presentation. The participant then gets to give his presentation again. At the end of the seminar each participant will have created a perfected individual presentation that will enable him to prepare and give successful English business presentations in the future.
