Pro workshop- Vectis

FKCCI cordially invites you to our Pro-Workshop entitled "Do You Want to Make More Impactful Business Presentations in English?"

Do You Want to Make More Impactful Business

Presentations in English?

Many Korean business people are required to make presentations in front of foreign executives or overseas partners.  This is challenging for most of them. Our experience with Korean professionals shows that the greatest difficulties are not related to English proficiency. Instead they are related to:

§  Understanding what the audience needs to hear so that they take the desired action

§  Crafting a clear and articulate message with logical flow for higher impact

§  Creating effective introduction and conclusion consistent with the goal of the presentation

§  Overcoming their fear of public speaking while projecting confidence and professionalism

What is unique about this workshop?

This seminar is offered in two training formats:  with or without presentation practice. Participants have the option to register only for Day One (5-hours) or also for Day Two (8-hours).

On Day One (Friday, September 14, for 5-hours), participants learn practical concepts and tips to gain effective business presentations skills through a seminar.

On Day Two (Wednesday, September 19 for 8-hours), each participant makes an on-camera presentation, followed by thorough evaluation by the instructor and practical recommendations for improvement.

Benefits of this Seminar include learning how to:

§  make your slides simpler and more impactful for your audience

§  adapt your presentation’s message to the audience needs and expectations

§  craft your presentation’s core message from your introduction to your closing statements, with a clear logical flow, for deeper impact

§  make a powerful closing with a clear call to action for your audience

§  overcome fear of public speaking in English for a non-Korean audience

§  project greater confidence through proper body language, gestures and diction

§  use key English words and formulas to use for accuracy and stronger effects

The key added benefits for participants to take part in Day Two are:

§  Capitalizing on a practical learning approach, by rehearsing and applying new notions in their presentation and assessing their improvements by viewing their delivery on video;

§  Receiving detailed and objective feedback from the instructor, with suggestions for improvement

§  Achieving a higher level of confidence in front of a small audience
