Management Development – Presentation Skills
PEEE = Projection with Passion, Energy, Enthusiasm and Engagement with the audience.
Structure your presentation with 3 key themes – are people likely to remember much more than that?
Powerpoint makes slides, YOU make the presentation.
Coaching
Understand what coaching is and isn’t and how it differs from mentoring – A mentor is someone who shares experience, knowledge, provides guidance to enable a person to develop. A coach enables another person to achieve personal growth through questioning, listening, focusing on outcomes and next steps.
To be good at coaching, you will need to develop your skills of questioning and listening.
Understand the principles of a coaching framework like GROW or OSCAR for example to help you structure a conversation.
