November 2007 - A Knowledge-Counsel workshop
Selling and Presentation Skills

The first Knowledge-Counsel workshop for industry professionals was a huge success. Delegates came from all over the country to attend this event at the central London showroom of KI UK, the hosts for the day. David Firth set the scene with a motivational introduction to everyone before dividing them into three groups, each of which enjoyed a ninety-minute interactive session with each facilitator. Delegates benefited from the diverse yet complementary skills of the facilitators.


Feedback from the delegates
The self-awareness module was a real eye-opener that will enable me to better adjust to different situations. I will take a lot from today

I gained a good understanding of the psychology, theory, preparation and art of delivering a good presentation. The presenters were exceptional, very professional yet still entertaining

It was good fun with lots of memorable pointers - overall, highly beneficial. I appreciated the personal attention I received in the small group situations

Increased insight into selling processes, psychology and presentation skills

Found some useful ideas and info to factor into other things
