Feel confident and effective in front of an audience with our presentation skills workshop.
Feb 11, 2025
ÅKP offers a workshop in presentation techniques. One participant says: — Through relevant examples and practical exercises, we gained concrete tools to maintain both our own energy and the audience's attention. It was also very useful to challenge ourselves, put it into practice, and receive feedback on what can be improved.
On January 21, 2025, ÅKP organized a pilot for a new offering, a workshop in presentation techniques. This focuses on providing participants with practical skills to master the art of presenting with confidence, believing in their message, and above all, conveying the message in the best possible way.
The workshop covers key techniques such as:
• How to build confidence in presentation situations.
• Practical methods to relax and reduce nervousness.
• How to structure presentations to resonate with the audience - storytelling.
• Goals for your communication
• Reputation building
• Target audience specification
• Fundamental rules of thumb in presentation methodology
A workshop for companies that want to invest in their employees
This workshop is a commercial offering from ÅKP that can be tailored for companies wishing to enhance their employees' presentation skills. Being able to present with clarity and conviction is a critical competency in today’s workforce, and the workshop provides a solid platform for developing these skills.
What makes the workshop unique?
Behind the program is an experienced professional with extensive expertise in communication and storytelling. The workshop was developed by Elisabeth Solvang, who has a background in advertising and communications, over 25 years of experience as a journalist, and extensive experience as a host, moderator, and presenter. With her master’s degree in media studies and several journalism awards, she is well-equipped to help participants create strong and engaging presentations.

Elisabeth describes the workshop this way:
— I have a passion for storytelling, and giving a presentation is also about telling a story. Through the workshop, I want participants to gain an understanding of what they can do to make their presentations more engaging. What we want is for people to listen to the message, to what we have to say. To achieve this, the structure, composition, and above all, the presentation itself, how the message is delivered, must be spot on. After a day’s workshop, I want participants to leave ÅKP inspired, with new tools in their toolkit, and eager to give their next presentation.
However, the workshop does require a bit from the participants, which is an important part of the process:
— One cannot improve in this area without being challenged on the status quo. Therefore, we take a systematic approach and throw participants into deep water, both with and without a script. That said, I hope participants realize that often only small adjustments are needed to elevate a presentation from okay to outstanding. Who doesn’t want to give that presentation that everyone remembered as the best at a conference?
The techniques learned can also be used in other situations, such as sales meetings or interviews:
— If you learn these techniques, you can apply them in various situations, whether in front of a large audience or in a conversation between a few people, such as in a sales meeting.
What do participants say?
Several participants from the first workshop have already recommended it further. Among them were Sofie Risjord Sletta, Marketing Manager at Cflow, and Gunnar Hoff, CMO at Cflow. They summarize the experience like this:

— The course was both educational and inspiring. Elisabeth’s energy and presence made it extra motivating to participate, while she shared valuable tips on how to deliver an engaging presentation. Through relevant examples and practical exercises, we received concrete tools to maintain both our own energy and the audience's attention. It was also very beneficial to challenge ourselves, practice in real situations, and receive feedback on what could be improved. This kind of hands-on experience is invaluable for mastering presentations, and the course has given us a larger toolbox that we know will be of great help in future presentations.
