Presentation Skills, Intro

This two-day speaking experience will transform one's private perceptions and public presentations, and dramatically improve one's speaking ability.

Overview

Public speaking is a necessary skill for any professional. A polished presenter will inspire confidence, fuel motivation and leave a lasting positive impression. It is a skill that distinguishes the outstanding from the average.

An effective presentation adds credibility and value, both to individuals and to the organizations they represent. Poor presentations lose business. Electronic communication alone is not enough. People still need to speak to each other in a range of formal and informal situations. Many find this difficult; this course will help students identify and overcome some of the difficulties. We are very pleased for the opportunity to discuss course content with your subject matter expert. The exercises and role plays will be tailored to fit the department.
