BrainSailing's Presentation Skills seminar provides a safe environment for people to make presentations and to be gently and constructively critiqued to help them build their skills. It recognises that most people can easily describe the blindingly-obvious, sensible things about ‘what makes a good presentation’ - but they don’t know how to actually achieve this. The seminar teaches the basic principles that underpin good presentations.
 
It discusses 'presentations in a business context. It also develops the idea that presentation skills are for everyone in all walks of life: whether you are negotiating where to go on a holiday; being interviewed; making a speech at a family event; or contributing to a meeting.
