Delivering presentations virtually

As technology improves and remote and hybrid working look more likely to be here to stay, in-person meetings are on the decline. As we move into this increasingly virtual working world, our presentation skills are becoming more and more important.

Whether you are managing a remote or hybrid team, pitching to remote clients, delivering virtual onboarding, making the switch to virtual training or simply participating in virtual or hybrid meetings, your ability to present well in a virtual environment has become a critical skill to master.

In this virtual workshop, you will be introduced to some of the additional skills that will help you to succeed as a virtual presenter. We explore how to design a presentation that is structured and laser-focused on the outcomes, giving you the best chance of holding your audience’s attention and delivering your key messages. We discuss the importance of presence and consider how to set the virtual stage using body language. You will also have the opportunity to practice using engagement techniques that can help to create discussion and bring your virtual presentations to life!
