Open Course: Making Facts & Figures Fascinating (Online)

February 22, 2024 - February 23, 2024

A course participant presenting to a class under the watchful eye of the course tutor

Do you struggle to hold your audiences’ attention when presenting large volumes of facts and data?

Are your presentations filled with a seemingly endless volume of boring statistics?

Do you struggle with confidence when faced with delivering another presentation to a disengaged audience who feel overwhelmed, confused, disconnected or just plain bored?

MAKING FACTS AND FIGURES FASCINATING is practical presentation skills training workshop that will allow you to structure and deliver data-heavy presentations in a more engaging, absorbing and entertaining way. Through a series of practical engagements and exercises you will learn how to apply proven storytelling and presentation skills & techniques which will help your message vwith greater impact than ever before. 

During this practical course, you will have the opportunity explore how storytellers employ the concepts of intrigue, curiosity, and suspense – and how, using three clear presentation structures you can enhance audience engagement and transform your presentations. Through a variety of interactive exercises, you will have the opportunity re-organise and assemble the information in their presentations according to these 3 different structures, with each structure bringing a different flavour and approach – allowing you to change up your presenting style to suit any audience, message or purpose.

Participants on this workshop will:

  • Feel confident that they can make any presentation which is rich in facts and figures, fascinating.
  • Explore the importance of using proven, pre-existing structures to drive maximum message impact.
  • Learn how to order information so that it can be best absorbed by any audience.
  • Learn presentation skills & techniques that make data irresistible.
  • Understand the power of “The Edit”.
  • Learn how to use facts and figures to awaken curiosity in the audience.
  • Understand the relationship between Form & Content.
  • Understand the role of the Body, Breath and Voice plays when presenting facts and figures.

What people say About This Course

I went from a 3 to a 10, thank you.
AndrewClient service manager, Marketing Participant on Presenting Made Brilliant/ Public Speaking- Fighting the Fear 
This was one of the best programmes I have attended in a number of years. It has provided me with a set of tools I can use when presenting and speaking with key stakeholders and employees.
ElaineHR Manager, Pharmaceuticals
I found the training excellent! As an Administrator I didn’t expect to get so much out of the training, but I really did! It has given me more confidence to participate in meetings and taught me how to deliver information in an engaging and concise manner. I would highly recommend to anyone!
HollyAdministrator, Financial Services
This was a very enjoyable and informative online training experience. I learned plenty from the content and even more from observing the facilitator. Andrew did a fantastic job, thank you.
ClaireProgrammne Manager, Utilities
I loved this training, really engaging and although online the morning flew. I liked the links to the research too. I will be taking the tips and new skills learned into my practice and hopefully help create a more engaged communication environment. Thank you.
EmmaLiteracy Coordinator, Training & Education
I didn’t really know what to expect when I signed up for this training, I just knew it sounded interesting and like something I would benefit from. It was really refreshing to have a training that wasn’t led on powerpoint, and to be a lot more discussion focussed. I feel that really allowed us to consider what was being said, and not get distracted. I was nervous when it came to the role play scenarios, but actually felt energised from taking part, and feel I learnt so much from participating, as well as watching the other attendees. All in all, a fantastic day, with a lot of learnings to take away.
ZoeBrand Manager, Pharmaceuticals
I felt the course was very engaging and refreshing in that we weren’t lectured to with a dull set of slides. The course tackled some key workplace issues but also offered some food for thought on how our practices outside of work can impact our performance. I felt that the assessors were very sincere and non-judgemental whilst also ensuring the session was kept light-hearted. I would definitely recommend this course, even to those who wouldn’t necessarily think they need it, as there is learning in there for everyone.
Erin HR Associate, Pharmaceuticals
This really helped to reignite my enthusiasm for my job and public speaking
CaoimheTour Guide
Debra is a fantastic trainer and she created a unique and very welcoming group setting during the online workshop. The content was well chosen and fits very well to the everyday need of business women. The opportunity to try out the techniques presented instantly boosted the confidence to speak in public (and gave guidance how to practice and become better in the future).
AliceL & D Manager, Pharmaceuticals
This workshop was superbly facilitated, and I would highly recommend to anyone who wishes to maximise the impact of their presentations.
CarmelLearning and Research, Financial Services
I loved the training on Impact & Influence for Women in Business. It was an empathetic and safe space to learn, try out techniques and practice. I thought recognising and understanding the power of posture, voice and breath work is critical to women to improve confidence and being heard. Thank you.
RitaInnovation Designer
I would highly recommend this course to everyone who presents, who manages meetings, who facilitates groups. It provides life skills that are practical and with practice adoptable. It was engaging, well paced and everyone got something from it. An excellent course.
