Presentation Skills Tune-Up Offered by Bold New Directions Training to Professionals in Hartford CT

July 21, 2009 - PRLog -- To help offset the current economic challenges faced by many business professionals,  Bold New Directions Training is once again offering their Presentation Tune-Up Program for professionals in Hartford CT.  Working closely with the Metro Hartford Alliance or MHA, "Bold New Directions is offering a reduced rate to people who are MHA members" states Jim Hornickel, Director of Training & Development.  "The Presentation Tune-Up is a short presentation skills training program which only involves 3.5 hours - and offers incredible value for the busy business executive" adds Mr. Hornickel.  Using laser focused coaching, instruction and demonstrations, the Presentation Tune-Up program builds on professionals' existing presentation skills and improves their ability to communicate, build relationships, & make sales.  "This is an excellent opportunity to brush up on skills for use in your current position and to make you more marketable for future roles" according to Mr. Hornickel.  To learn more about the next Presentation Tune-Up Seminar please visit: http://www.boldnewdirections.com/home/section/91/presenta...

"We offered this program in early July and received incredible feedback from local businesses about how the Presentation Tune-Up impacted existing communication skills" stated Suzanne Guthrie, Director of Transformational Learning at Bold New Directions.  Kate Ottavio, Account Coordinator at Co-Communications, attended the recent presentation training.  When asked about its impact Ms. Ottavio commented: "My background in public speaking is relatively extensive. Holding a number of leadership roles in various organizations and even competing in scholarship pageant programs, I’ve always felt comfortable in front of a crowd. It wasn’t until my Presentation Tune-Up that I realized there were skills I needed to practice and perfect".  Ms. Ottavio also shared her perspective that "speaking and presentation skills are integral in business; I can only guess at how much more I would have taken away if I had attended the full one or two day programs".  Longer presentation training programs are offered by Bold New Directions and are held at client sites throughout US  and Canada.
