The ability of a leader or resource person to communicate with large audiences, keep their attention and tell them what they want to say is a common tool in their skill set. Conducting speaking activities and in particular facilitating seminars are extremely valuable and useful for most companies. Seminars are a cost-effective and efficient way to teach or inform large groups of people essential knowledge in their field. They are also very valuable because they are quick and can be done with limited resources.

Although a seminar is valuable, it can be extremely difficult to find someone who can properly lead one. It is a balance of teacher, demonstrator , and public speaker . All three of these are difficult enough on their own but become more demanding when they are all required at once. The strength of seminars is simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Seminar presenters need to be able to convey the same lessons and knowledge to students that a teacher can break down and relay to them over the course of several months. Budget constraints can make it difficult to pay for important presentations or key materials. This can also stress speakers, as they must balance all these elements while maintaining the attention of their audience.

Paramount Training and Development understands the difficulties, complexities and issues presented by presenters. We also recognize the need to have someone who can conduct seminars. The knowledge and skills they pass on to their audience is very useful. We have created our Seminar Presentation Skills Training Course for potential presenters and resource persons. It aims to help these learners be more effective in their roles.

Consistency and dynamism are the keywords for seminar presentation. Presenters need to be consistent in how they treat their audience and the material and presentation they give. Dynamism is when you consider the audience the presenter is dealing with, the environment in which they are required to present, and the resources they have. Paramount Training and Development created this course to help presenters balance the two.

Seminar Presentation Skills Training Outline

Become proficient at public speaking engagements

Seminars are first and foremost a social-interaction between presenter and those they’re presenting. Learners undertaking Seminar Presentation skills training are expected to be able to handle themselves in situations where they are presenting to many people at once. This part of the course will allow learners to overcome their stage-fright (if they possess it) and give them strategies on how to maintain their composure in this speaking format, then as they progress; learn how to address the crowd in an acceptable fashion, until eventually they can do this while also effectively giving their audience the information and know-how that they are supposed to present.

Learn to adapt to their intended audiences

The audience plays a great role – perhaps even greater than the presenter themselves – in a seminar. The audience is the very thing that the presenter is attempting to persuade and teach during a seminar and therefore must be the one most catered to by presentation and style. This is key, as many factors can radically change the effectiveness of a speaker in a seminar format. Age, profession, experience, prior knowledge, and more all need to be considered while creating the presentation and while conducting it; a presentation for young adults with little experience will likely matter little to senior officers in an office, while a dry lecture on the eccentricities of the global financial market will likely get nothing but confused responses from a room of blue-collar workers. Learners undertaking Seminar Presentation training are taught early on how to work accordingly to these constraints and hopefully present something worthwhile to their intended audience.

Effectively use their resources

Another limit often strictly imposed on a presenter is the budget and the resources one has available to conduct said presentation. A presenter can create the most effective and captivating PowerPoint presentation in the world for their lecture on brainstorming, but it would matter little if they were then assigned to a far flung and impoverished environment without electricity, much less the necessary audio-visual aids that would allow them to properly present their material to their intended audience. Those undertaking Seminar Presentation Skills training are taught not only to adapt to their audiences’ needs but also the environment, and are given all the necessary methods and strategies that can allow them to present their material as effectively as possible regardless of the material and resources at hand.

Learn how to create appropriate presentations

With audience and environment factored in, it is then the learners’ job to create a presentation using the most appropriate formats available to them. In continuing with the theme of flexibility and adjustment omnipresent in Seminar Presentation training, learners are tutored by lecturers and tutors from the fields of mass communication on how to create and utilise the many media formats available to them in this day and age, and which ones to use for the greatest effect.

Create and present their own unique presentation style

Charisma plays a good role in presenting something. It can motivate an audience whom normally find certain material to be dry and uninteresting to listen attentively and listen well. while our learners are not expected to become charismatic lecturers that can sweep the nation, they will be taught strategies and guidelines that will allow them to grab and retain their audiences’ attention and enthusiasm, ensuring that their presentations will be as fruitful and effective as they can be in this aspect.
