AAR Core Level Seminar 2025: Presenting with impact in hybrid times

Introduction

We have been thrust into a virtual world of presenting which has its challenges but at least we can keep our slippers on. Now we find ourselves in a hybrid world, mixing face to face presentations with fully or partial virtual ones.

This interactive session will be looking at both those contexts and the added complication of blended styles of meetings and pitches. This seminar will support you staying connected and having real impact.

It's time to face the music and remind yourself how much more interesting communication is when it is a live medium and to take advantage of that, whilst still being mindful that many interactions will be virtual as well. It’s time to upskill and understand how to build chemistry and how to wow your clients in all mediums.

Tessa Morton has been delivering presentation skills coaching in the industry for over 30 years. She will share insights and tips to increase your confidence on virtual platforms as well as those all-important live interactions.
