Workshop
Online – presentation skills and rhetoric
Benefits
Appearing visible, convincing and authentic in the digital space – that's more important today than ever. Online meetings, presentations, client conversations or even large conferences increasingly take place virtually. Yet many notice: what seems natural in a physical space quickly loses impact online. Body language, voice, presence and technical means must be used consciously, and differently.
In our workshop “Presentation Skills Online” you will learn how to appear composed, authentic and impactful even on camera. We work in a hands-on way, with concrete examples, interactive exercises and feedback. This covers both the professional handling of technology and setting (camera, light, background, sound) and your personal impact: voice, language, posture, presence and interaction with the audience.
You log in to the workshop from home with your own laptop. We practice in breakout sessions and in the plenary.

You register as an individual and train in a group. The workshop lasts 3.5 hours. The focus is on DOING IT YOURSELF:
You will try things out, practice, receive feedback and improve, so that you
achieve the best impact on screen too and convince your audience.
We look forward to seeing you!
Until then: stick a photo of a person who represents your target audience next to the camera. This helps you maintain directed eye contact – even when you can't see anyone.

Authentically successful
Only when we ourselves are convinced can we convince others. It's important to know where our strengths lie.
Body language, voice, impact
Your words make up the content – but body language and voice determine the impact. Anyone who wants to appear present, convince and inspire needs both in harmony.
