Presentation Skills
Background and Objective
Solution Junkies collaborated with Impact Factory to conduct a one-day workshop focused on a presentation skills training programme for their team.
The goal was to build confidence, enhance delivery techniques, and provide practical tools that would help participants engage their audiences more effectively in various professional settings.
The focus was on helping individuals move beyond nerves and make the most of their natural strengths. Then apply small changes to deliver a significant impact in their presentations.
Programme Overview
Tom, Katie, and Katherine facilitated this presentation skills training programme. The day combined extensive group discussions, breakout activities, practical coaching, and personal reflection.
The learning environment was lively, supportive, and hands-on – encouraging participants to experiment with new techniques and immediately see their effectiveness.
Key Elements
- Exploring why presentations matter and the different contexts in which participants present
- Group activities focused on nerves, body language, and vocal delivery
- Practical structures such as the ARMED Elevator Pitch and Aristotle’s Persuasive Argument model
- Experimenting with Hot Starts to capture attention from the outset
- Tools for building confidence, preparing effectively, and creating emotional impact
The day concluded with practical guidance on using slides as visual aids, moving away from text-heavy “slideuments” to more engaging, audience-focused presentations.
Key Content
Participants engaged with a range of interactive exercises and coaching tools designed to build confidence and clarity, including:
- Confidence on a Dial
- Working to Strengths
- Hot Starts
- Emotional Journey Mapping
- Small Changes for Big Impact
Desired Outcomes
By the end of the programme, participants left with:
- Greater confidence in their ability to present effectively
- Practical tools to manage nerves and project presence
- Strategies to engage audiences through body language, voice, and structure
- A clear understanding of how to prepare with purpose and play to their strengths
- A toolkit of techniques to make small but powerful adjustments that have a lasting impact
