Session Overview

What’s more important when presenting your specialist topic – the depth of your technical knowledge and skill or how you communicate that information? The answer is both!

Naturally, you need a balance between technical knowledge in the subject matter as well as an ability to communicate that information effectively. But how your expertise is perceived, is strongly influenced by how you communicate. In short, if you can’t communicate effectively, your (perceived) technical expertise is diminished. You can be the greatest technical expert in the world, but unless you communicate in a way that engages your audience, your technical expertise will be overlooked.  

In this session, focusing on online training delivery, Tony will explore the communication behaviours that great trainers, presenters and facilitators use to engage, inspire and even entertain their audience when presenting online. We will delve into the small behavioural changes that you can make to your online training and presentation style that will make you stand out from the crowd. Simply knowing and applying the right techniques can dramatically change your communication style and see you regarded as one of the top 20% of trainers, presenters and facilitators in your industry.

In his typical interactive style, Tony will share with you some of the successful techniques he has picked up, applies and has continued to refine over the past 15 years as a presenter, trainer and facilitator. Full of interactive activities, practise opportunities and breakout room discussions, this session is for both beginner and experienced presenters, trainers and facilitators delivering via an online medium. It extends and goes beyond the typical content taught in Certificate IV and both Diplomas from the Training and Education Training Package.

You will leave with specific behaviours that, with only a little practice, will take your presentation style to the next level.
