Taking Centre Stage
The Taking Centre Stage programme is directly relevant to sub-Saharan African professionals as the region’s development increasingly depends on leaders who can communicate vision, build confidence, and mobilise people effectively. As organisations grow, attract investment, and engage global partners, the ability to present ideas with clarity, authority, and credibility becomes essential.
This course equips African leaders to overcome nerves, project executive presence, and influence decision-makers in high-stakes settings such as boardrooms, negotiations, conferences, and public forums. By strengthening storytelling, message structure, and audience engagement skills, participants are better able to champion projects, secure buy-in, and lead change. The focus on authentic presence and adaptability supports leadership across diverse cultures and stakeholder groups and is directly in line with the challenges faced by business in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Ultimately, the programme builds communication confidence that enables professionals to represent their organisations and communities with impact, supporting economic growth, institutional strength, and the Sub-Saharan region’s long-term ambitions.
Transforming Nerves into Presence and Authority
Taking Centre Stage is a dynamic, highly interactive 5-day programme designed to transform how professionals approach public speaking and presentations. Recognising that presenting to groups is one of the most stressful yet influential skills in professional life, this course equips participants with the confidence, structure, and delivery techniques needed to communicate with clarity, authority, and impact. Through practical exercises, videoed presentations, individual coaching, and peer feedback, delegates learn how posture, body language, voice, tone, and message structure shape audience perception. By the end of the programme, participants are able to design and deliver polished, engaging presentations while managing nerves and connecting authentically with any audience.
Why this course is important
Strong presentation skills are essential for influencing decisions, building credibility, and creating lasting professional impressions. This course directly addresses the fear, anxiety, and self-doubt that prevent many capable professionals from performing at their best in front of others. By focusing on confidence-building, message clarity, and audience engagement, the programme helps participants communicate complex information in a professional, enjoyable, and memorable way. The ability to handle Q&A sessions, read audience reactions, and adapt in real time ensures participants can perform effectively in high-stakes environments such as negotiations, pitches, boardroom presentations, conferences, and public events.
