About the workshop

Do I need presentation skills?

The workshop is delivered by Shan Preddy, Preddy & Co - a leading design sector business development and training consultancy.

"This was one of the best courses I have ever attended. The day gave me more confidence in my own abilities and taught me to use simple techniques to improve my presentations. The handouts have proved very useful to me in my day to day job since then."
Janet Daykin, Visually Impaired Media Unit Manager, CaM Marketing, Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs
