About this course

What is the Power Of Presence course?

Presence is the impression a professional creates through attention, communication, composure and behaviour. It shapes whether others experience someone as credible, confident, approachable and worth listening to.

Powerful presence is not about acting extroverted or adopting a false persona. It comes from observable behaviours that can be strengthened, including how a person listens, speaks, uses body language, responds under pressure and directs attention in important interactions.

Presence matters in meetings, presentations, client conversations and everyday collaboration because people often form impressions before they fully assess someone’s expertise. Stronger presence helps ideas land, conversations stay focused and working relationships build trust.

In this course, participants examine the behaviours that shape professional impact and practise practical ways to communicate with greater authority, authenticity and calm. The focus stays on credible workplace behaviour that can be applied in meetings, presentations and leadership conversations.

Professional credibility

Build trust through clear, consistent professional behaviour.

Executive communication

Structure messages so they are concise, confident and useful.

Composure under pressure

Stay measured and constructive when attention or stakes rise.

Personal presence

Use voice, posture and focus to strengthen professional impact.

Influence and impact

Present ideas in ways that earn attention and support.

High-stakes conversations

Project confidence without becoming rigid or performative.

Before you enquire

Is this course right for your team?

A quick check against what this programme does and does not set out to do.

A good fit if

  • Your managers need to project greater confidence and credibility in important interactions
  • Technically strong staff are stepping into roles with greater visibility and influence
  • Leaders need to communicate ideas more clearly with senior stakeholders and clients
  • Participants want practical feedback on how they come across in meetings and presentations
  • Your team needs to stay composed and persuasive when challenged or under pressure

Consider another course if

  • You need technical or functional skills training rather than leadership communication
  • Your priority is technical or process training rather than interpersonal presence
  • You are looking for a qualification or accreditation rather than practical workplace training
  • You want a single specialist topic in depth, such as public speaking or negotiation alone

Not sure? Tell us the situation and we will point you to a better-fitting programme.

Why organisations run it

What business problems does this course help address?

These are the day-to-day symptoms organisations describe when they ask us about presence training.

Good ideas fail to land

Strong thinking is weakened by hesitant, unclear or overly detailed delivery.

Leaders appear uncertain

Capable managers lose authority when their message and body language send mixed signals.

Pressure changes behaviour

People become defensive, rushed or withdrawn when challenged in visible situations.

Senior communication lacks focus

Updates and recommendations take too long to reach the point or the required decision.

Influence depends on title

Managers rely on hierarchy rather than credibility, relationships and persuasive communication.

Presence varies by setting

A person may communicate confidently with peers but lose impact with senior or external audiences.

Why organisations choose us

Post training supportA vast majority of training does not have any effect beyond 120 days. To work, training has to have a strong pre- and post-training component. Post-training reinforcement helps individuals to recall the understanding and ask questions.

Blended learningLearning does not occur in the classroom. Virtually everybody prefers distinct ways of learning. Successful learning should have a multi-channel, multi-modal strategy.

We understand the industryWe’ve got a profound comprehension of the business, business design, challenges and strategy that our participants are in, and have designed the courseware to cater to their professional needs.

Course contentKnowles Training Institute’s material is relevant, of high quality and provides specific learning results. Participants will leave the training course feeling as they have gained a strong understanding and will also be in a position to execute what they have learned sensibly.

Course developmentThe workshop modules follow a systematic and logical arrangement. This structure helps to ensure that the course material allows the facilitators to deliver the course in a logical arrangement. Consider the subjects as building bricks into learning: our facilitators slowly build towards a comprehensive picture of the entire topic.
