How would you answer the above question? Probably the answers will include ‘How to use powerpoint?’, ‘How to manage your body language?’….. If I were to answer this question before this week, I would give the above answers. Essentially, a presentation class is to equip the participants with effective presentation skills. It seems to make perfect sense.
My answer is not the same now. I attend a presentation class these 2 days delivered by Bentley Williams. Whilst the above-mentioned presentation skills are definitely parts of the course purposes, there is an interesting purpose which I have not focused on above – the course is to give confidence to the participant. In short, show them that they can!! In other words, you will have discussion, activities, …. etc in order to help them discover their strength. I feel quite ashamed
