The Requirements – Intensive Conference Presentation Skills TOTAL requested 1-1 training on “Conference Presentation Skills” for 3 of their Senior Petroleum Engineers to present at two prestigious conferences “Off Shore Europe 2013 and “Piper 25”. The challenge was to take the Engineers limited experience of presenting to large audiences and to match it with their extensive petroleum experience in order for them to connect with their audience and to meet their, TOTAL’s, the audiences and the Clients’ objectives of the presentations. The Solution The solution was to deliver a series of intensive one to one training sessions, tailored to meet the Engineers needs and to bring their presentation material alive in front of large audiences. This training was delivered in a “Master class” style to enable the Engineers to deliver their presentations, receive critical feedback on it and to refine it to the point that it was “fit for purpose”
