“The course was incredibly useful, and it all came together very well. I especially enjoyed practicing thinking on your feet, as well as redoing the virtual presentation. Yesterday I blushed very red, but today – nothing!”

~Karen Shewan – Institutional Client Manager, M&G Investments

Before you sign up for any presentation skills programme, it’s essential to recognise just how much presenting has changed in recent years. The Covid pandemic turned us all into virtual presenters, needing to master broadcasting skills that we’ll use for the rest of our careers. Virtual presentations require a unique approach—one quite different from traditional live presentations that professionals used to rely on.

The Face-to-Face and Virtual Presentation Skills Master Class by Communication Guru equips you with the skills to present confidently and professionally, whether live or online.

In today’s hybrid communication landscape, both live and virtual skills matter. This innovative, hands-on programme is all about boosting your confidence, controlling nerves, and presenting with impact. You’ll learn to influence stakeholders and achieve business objectives.

Making eye contact with the camera to build virtual relationships and engage your audiences

“It turns out that the rules of engagement are different between video conference and face-to-face presentations. Communication Guru gave us the tools to engage and deliver our message clearly and effectively. Using the rules that they taught us, we had a very good client meeting. We were able to keep the client focused and interested during a three hour pitch over video call.”

~Jonathan Myerson – Head of Fixed Income, Visio Capital Management

“You enabled us to rethink and retool our usual in-person pitch. Our client engagement with 20+ attendees went brilliantly. Your input was vital for us to make the changes required to effectively communicate online.”

~Mpumelelo Kondlo – Fund Manager Fixed Income, Visio Capital Management

“I observed how Communication Guru took a disengaged group of corporate clients with unimpressive individual and corporate virtual brands, to a group of engaged delegates with the skills to represent themselves and their organisation with authenticity and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”

~Nadine Mayers – Course Convenor, UCT Graduate School of Business
