Course programme
The training course consists of two clear phases.
In the first phase, the focus is on clarity. You learn how to structure a presentation, how to make complex information understandable and how to create a clear line in your story. You work with short presentations and focused exercises, allowing you to see immediately what works and what does not.
In the second phase, the focus shifts to impact. You learn how to use storytelling and framing to give direction to your story and how to respond to the way people process information. You work on persuasive communication, directing attention and dealing with resistance and critical questions. You work with your own presentations and immediately see the effect of adjustments.

Target audience
Who is this training course for?
This training course is intended for technicians and technical professionals who regularly give presentations in a context where content alone is not enough.
It is particularly relevant for engineers, project leads and technical specialists who present complex information to clients, suppliers or internal stakeholders, and who have to deal with different interests, critical questions and decision-making under time pressure.
The training course is also suitable for professionals who notice that their story is technically correct, but does not yet provide enough direction, does not always land clearly or does not lead to the desired effect in terms of understanding, support or decision-making.

Coaching for Technical Professionals
Personal Effectiveness Training Courses
6 half-day session
Rotterdam
Coaching leadership is not a luxury within technical organisations, but an absolute necessity. Excellent engineers are increasingly growing into leadership roles. Teams are becoming larger and projects more complex. Yet technical managers are rarely trained in professionally guiding employees. With Dosign Academy’s Coaching Leadership training course, you learn how to guide colleagues in behavioural change, responsibility and independence, without taking over the substance of the problem yourself.

DISC for Technical Professionals; recognising and influencing behaviour in practice
Personal Effectiveness Training Courses
2 half-day sessions
Rotterdam
In technical projects, a great deal of attention is paid to content, planning and execution. Yet in practice, projects do not always get stuck because of technical issues. Behaviour often plays a greater role than expected. Differences in pace, communication style and response patterns can cause conversations to become difficult, expectations to remain unspoken and decisions to be delayed or avoided. DISC makes this behaviour visible.
In this training course, we do not approach DISC as a model you need to memorise, but as a practical tool for understanding collaboration more effectively. You work with your own DISC profile and gain insight into how you communicate, respond and make decisions, especially in situations where pressure increases or interests differ. From that insight, you learn to recognise behaviour in others. You learn to pick up signals during conversations and better understand why someone responds in a certain way.
As a result, you will recognise more quickly where communication breaks down and what is needed to steer the conversation back in the right direction.

Confident Telephone Communication
Personal Effectiveness Training Courses
2 half-day sessions
Rotterdam
Recognisable? You see an unknown number coming in and your heart beats just a little faster. Or you know you should actually call a supplier or colleague, but you put it off and choose to send an email instead. That feels safer, but it often costs more time, leads to misunderstandings more quickly and misses the personal contact. With Dosign Academy’s business telephone communication training course, you learn how to break through that barrier. You discover how calling can once again become a powerful way to gain clarity quickly, solve problems directly and communicate professionally with confidence.

The importance of strong presentation skills in technical environments
A brilliant technical concept, an innovative process improvement or a flawless analysis loses its value if it is not presented convincingly. When you share information unclearly or in a way that is too complex, clients disengage or unnecessary resistance arises among colleagues.
By developing professional presentation skills, you learn how to create support for your ideas. You know how to hold your audience’s attention and present with greater authority as an expert. This not only makes you a stronger representative of your organisation, but also helps your technical projects gain approval more quickly.
Are you ready to address the room with greater calm and conviction? Register for the Presenting for Technical Professionals training course at Dosign Academy. Gain control over your nerves, structure your technical story and present your expertise with maximum impact.
