Does your company have lots of new staff who need to make presentations? Are your teams struggling to find new ways of communicating and sharing information? Have you ever considered a presentation skills seminar as a means of improving both presentations and teamwork? Quite likely few of your new hires have ever had any formal presentation training.
You are no doubt aware that presentation training seminars are excellent tools to boost communication skills and stand up presentation skills. As junior staff and new hires enter your organization it is usual of large companies to offer in-house training on core competences such as those learned in a presentation skills seminar.
While you may consider providing a presentation training seminar for these new hires, don’t forget to consider the benefit of a presentation skills seminar for mixed teams.

A Presentation Training Seminar for the whole team is an ideal way to bring your group together to build concrete presentation skills, while also offering an opportunity for fun, learning and relationship development.
According to Suzanne Guthrie, Director of Learning at Presentation Training Institute, the new staff benefit from presentation training seminars that focus on simple ways to get across corporate messages with impact.
“Our presentation training seminar assists all members of the team in incorporating key skills such as gestures and voice control into their presentation delivery.”
“Presentation training seminars can also be geared to provide extra practice sessions as employees have little or no stand up presentation experience. “Considering that many new graduates have grown up using a lot of electronic communication tools, it’s understandable that they need a formal presentation skills seminar to develop their public speaking skills.”
