Presentation Skills and Public Speaking
A scenario-based e-learning course on presenting and public speaking — getting a point to land in a room that is distracted, skeptical, or short on time.
Overview
A scenario-based, self-paced e-learning course on presentation skills and public speaking. Learners step into the moments that decide how a talk goes — opening in front of a restless room, losing the thread halfway through, taking a sharp question they did not prepare for — choose how to respond, and see what the audience does next, then learn the approach that holds attention and keeps the message clear. Delivered as a SCORM 1.2 package for your LMS, with completion tracking.
Format. Self-paced, scenario-based e-learning. SCORM 1.2 — upload it to your LMS and completion tracks automatically.
Who it is for. Any organisation that wants to run this as self-paced learning; suitable for employees at any level.
What learners take away
- Define the single message a presentation must land and build everything around it.
- Structure a talk with an opening that earns attention, a middle listeners can follow, and a close that directs action.
- Design slides that support the speaker rather than competing for attention.
- Use pace, pause, stance and eye contact deliberately.
- Manage nerves before and during a talk using evidence-based techniques.
- Handle questions, interruptions and difficult moments without losing the room.
Course outline
Defines the job of a presentation, the five recurring reasons presentations fail, and the ethos-pathos-logos lens, and corrects the 7-38-55 body language myth. Participants deliver a 60-second baseline talk and deconstruct a presentation that stayed with them.
Participants map their real audience with five questions, meet the curse of knowledge, and draft a one-sentence message line that must survive a partner's repetition test.
Openings that earn attention, three ways to organise the middle, signposting, and closes planned word for word — built into a full talk skeleton.
What slides are for, claim headlines backed by evidence, showing data without losing the room, and when the strongest slide is a dark screen — applied in a slide makeover exercise.
Pace, pause and volume; stance, gesture and eye contact; filler words and their fixes — practised in three timed trio drills with peer scoring.
What stage nerves are physiologically, reappraisal and breathing techniques usable within the hour, recovery protocols for when things go wrong, and a curveball drill giving every participant one live recovery.
Question handling and difficult moments, a full three-minute round-three talk with live questions and structured feedback, and a 30-day practice plan with the first speaking commitment booked before leaving.
