I would appreciate any suggestions on where I should look for presentation training for my consulting company.

In previous firms, I have taken The Minto Pyramid Principle course. This was a great course, but I would like to know what other options are available.

What would be particularly helpful is to know what courses have been used by particular firms.

Thank you.

I've found that online/e-learning classes only take you so far. The most effective presentation classes I've found have been instructor-led AND have involved the participants making several presentations over the length of the class. This would put the participant in a position of practicing what is being taught and allows the instructor and the participants to give good, balanced feedback for increased skill. If you are interested in such training, please email me at darrell.burke@comcast.net. I can provide this type of training.

For the basic principles try Horizon Leadership, if you have learned the basics then join Toastmasters to develop and fine tune your skills.

I agree with AtlantaTraining. The online training is great for basic principles but for more advanced skills, in person is the best. Find a program that will video tape the presentations, provide feedback and allow time for a second presentation. I also offer presentation skills training. Email annsmith@amstraining if you would like further information.
