“The course was highly interactive and engaging, with plenty of opportunities for hands-on practice. It was especially helpful to receive personalised feedback from the trainer based on her observations.”
“This course challenged the way I used to present and helped me understand how to capture and hold an audience’s attention more effectively.”
“It builds confidence by teaching structure – how to open strong, build momentum, and close with impact. That clarity is invaluable for high-stakes presentations.”
“The facilitator shared very practical tips, and the course was structured to be interactive and engaging from start to finish.”
“The course was delivered in a clear and easy-to-understand way. It was highly relatable and provided concrete guidance on how to prepare effectively for a presentation.”
This course is designed for professionals who need to present ideas that drive understanding and action, whether to clients, senior leaders, boards, or cross-functional teams. It is ideal for anyone who wants to present with confidence, structure, and authenticity, and ensure their message lands with impact in any business context.
You will learn how to deliver presentations that inform, engage, and persuade, transforming how you connect with audiences. The course focuses on building your presence and delivery confidence while mastering practical techniques for structuring clear, compelling messages. You will learn how to design presentations that capture attention, use data as a narrative thread, manage nerves, and respond to challenging questions with composure. By the end of the course, you will know how to communicate your ideas in a way that earns buy-in and moves people to act.
There are no prerequisites. The course is suitable for professionals at all levels who want to strengthen their presentation skills and executive presence.
You will learn through a hands-on, experiential one-day workshop built around Korn Ferry’s Learning Design Framework, which balances content, examples, context, and engagement. You will learn by doing, constructing presentations, receiving structured facilitator and peer feedback, and analysing examples of effective executive communication. Facilitated by seasoned consultants rather than lecturers, each exercise mirrors real business scenarios, helping you apply new skills directly in your workplace.
You will apply each concept through guided practice using real presentation challenges from your own role. You will build, deliver, and refine your presentation across multiple rounds of coaching and feedback, experimenting with tone, pacing, and body language. You will also record your delivery for review and create a personal preparation checklist to support every future presentation.
This course focuses on real business communication challenges rather than theory. Using a problem-based learning approach, you will explore why some presentations fail to connect and how to make yours stand out, focusing not on perfect slides, but on purposeful influence. The course positions presentation as a leadership skill: how to command attention, convey insight, and inspire confidence. You will leave with not only stronger delivery techniques but also a repeatable process to turn information into influence and drive decisions that matter.
