Presentation Skills Coaching: Making an Impact (One-to-One or small group)

PrerequisitesUpdated

If you would like to refine your speaking style, increase your personal impact, or address any concerns you may have about your communication skills, these sessions are aimed at identifying the areas you need to focus on, from how you shape an interesting and effective presentation to how you deliver it, and any point in between.

You may find it useful to have completed the Presentation Skills online module before attending the session.

One-to-one coaching:

• Please only book one session at a time.
• It is possible to book a follow-up session for additional support; the course trainer will advise when this may be helpful.
• Please note that administration and delivery cost for a 1:1 session is significant. Late cancellation or non-attendance costs the University and also prevents another employee from receiving this specialist support.

New small group coaching:

• Up to 4 colleagues may attend up to 3 sessions together, spread over a few weeks/months.
• Please book up to 3 of the 1:1 sessions on any date/time (booking under the same lead name) and then email ppd@admin.cam.ac.uk with the names of the additional attendees in the group.
• This option may be particularly beneficial for those in similar roles or teams, and who would value working together in this area.

• University staff
• Further details regarding PPD's eligibility criteria

• Please be prepared to give a brief presentation (1-2 minutes, or fewer than 200 words) on any subject of your choice. If you have a specific speaking commitment that you are working towards, this session could focus on that work
• Before the course you may find it helpful to complete the Presentation Skills online module
• If you receive a confirmed place the time slot will be specifically for your one to one, therefore if you are unable to attend you must cancel your place, giving as much notice as possible
• If you receive a waiting list place, please ensure you cancel this if you know you would no longer be able to attend should a place become available, as one to ones will occasionally be offered at short notice
