Effective Networking and Presenting by Chris Davidson

“Do you thrive – or just survive – public speaking & networking?”

Imagine the scene, played out thousands of times over, in boardrooms and offices, in front of cameras and behind microphones, at studios and networking events around the world:  You are given the golden opportunity to promote your business to really important contacts – you’re invited as guest speaker at an important industry conference and asked to network with delegates after your presentation.

Do you do your best just to survive the whole experience of being on stage, or do you thrive on it, leaving the stage having enhanced your personal credibility and that of the organisation you represent? Are you filled with dread at the thought of working a room full of strangers, or do you relish the experience and come away fulfilled, invigorated and with a pocket full of new contacts?

In this session you will learn some of the secrets that distinguish outstanding performers from everyday presenters, and networkers from party goers. Leave with answers to the following vital questions:

  • What’s so important about the first 90s?
  • Do I stand behind the podium, or move around the stage?
  • What do I do with my hands?
  • How can I maximise my use of PowerPoint?
  • How do I read a room and decide who to approach?
  • What questions can I ask without appearing ‘too pushy’?

Come along and learn how to:

  • Make a positive impact – win more business.
  • Make the best possible impression – grow your brand.  
  • Build stronger relationships – build a bigger contact base.
