Resound Training & Development

Presentation Skills Training - top tips for overcoming 'presentation anxiety'

Amongst our top selling programmes is High Impact Presentations, delivered either as a one-day course to a small group or as 3 x 2-hour 1:1 coaching sessions.

One of our top tips for overcoming 'presentation anxiety' is to get the thinking right!  When you change the focus from ‘I’m feeling so nervous’ to ‘What does this group need to learn from my presentation?’ not only does the fear subside but the presentation starts to meet the needs of the most important people in the room – your audience!

We have now developed our Presentation Skills Workbook - made up of some of the exercises which have proved to be highly successful in helping our delegates get the ‘thinking right’. What's more, we've decided to give it away as a little 'thank you' gift when you sign up to our mailing list!  Simply enter your details in the box at the top right of this page to claim your personal copy of Resound Training & Development Presentation Skills Workbook now.

Whether you have a presentation coming up and want some help, or you are a trainer looking for more resources, we hope you enjoy the workbook.  We would love to hear from you – so drop us a line and let us know how you are getting on.

Supervision and feedback - vital to the workplace

Good supervision = good staff performance

I HAVE to admit to being a great advocate of supervision so it is no surprise to my team that it's a recurring theme!  Looking back over my working life I can see just what a difference it makes when we receive high quality supervision, but was it always like that...

Going back 20 years, like many people working in care today, I was juggling a part-time role as a care assistant in a local residential home, alongside caring for my young family.  I enjoyed working with the resident sand I know they valued me but there was no supervision, just a list of tasks to get through on my shift.  More-importantly, there was absolutely no feedback from my manager, so I had no idea if I was doing a good job.
