Presentation Skills for the 21st Century! 19-Nov-2008: Submitted by Matt Church business@mattchurch.com.au (Sydney) I have just returned from Frankfurt, where I ran my new World Class Presenter program. It rocked! I had a global audience of 50 inspiring leaders & we played with upgrading their presentations skills for 2 days straight. Lots of energy, a very cool group & if I say so myself, a fabulous new program. I am running this program on Monday 12 to Tuesday 13 January in Crows Nest in Sydney. This is a one-off, super cheap experience, as I want to have the practice of running the program again before the New Year gets into full swing & before I start to run it in-house each month for various clients. Not my usual fully catered experience & the investment/ticket price reflects this. Only $550 for 2 days. This program will not be repeated for this cost in the future.
