Be like ted, not Fred… need to brush up on your presentation skills?
Meet Fred. Fred reads every word off his slides. Fred turns his back to the audience. Fred says “umm” more than actual sentences. In this short video, “Be like ted Learning, not Fred”, we’re taking a humorous look at how not to present so you can spot the bad habits before your next big meeting.
If you recognise a little too much of yourself in Fred, don’t panic. Our Introduction to Presenting course at ted Learning is designed to boost your confidence, sharpen your presentation skills, and help you actually enjoy being in front of a room (or a webcam).
Hit play, have a laugh at Fred’s expense, then hit the link in the description to start your journey from awkward presenter to confident storyteller with ted Learning.
Introduction to Presenting: Build Confident, Engaging Presentation Skills
Our Introduction to Presenting course is perfect if you’ve watched Fred and thought, “Oh no… that’s a bit me.” This practical, drama-based workshop helps you build real confidence, manage nerves and develop the core presentation skills you need to get your message across clearly and calmly at work.
Through interactive exercises, observational drama and supportive feedback, you’ll learn how to structure a presentation, engage your audience, use body language and voice effectively, and stop relying on PowerPoint as a safety net. By the end, you’ll walk away with simple, repeatable tools you can use in team meetings, client pitches and everyday workplace presentations.
