Coaching for Presentation Skills & Performance
Coaching for Presentation Skills & Performance
On February 17th, I partnered with Punch Presentations and the Hong Kong Training Advocacy Council to coach 14 pupils on presentation skills and performance in preparation for their bar exam.The coaching took place at the Department of Justice, Central, Hong Kong, where the organization hosted mock trials to help prepare the pupils with realistic scenarios reproducing the court environment.The performance coaching focuses on the presentation skills and the delivery of the message, looking at different elements:
- Body language
- Tone and pitch
- Confidence
- Clarity
The coaching session was very hands-on, focusing on practical elements the pupils can implement to build confidence and improve their delivery in the court room.We practiced breathing techniques to build confidence, emphasis of key words, eye contact and non-verbal communication, among others.The pupils' feedback regarding the coaching was very positive. They reported feeling less anxious and more confident after the one-to-one sessions.
