Presenting with Impact

What’s this course about?

This highly interactive persuasive presentation skills workshop gets people on their feet practicing and receiving feedback throughout the day. Within a supportive environment, presenters learn about their individual presentation style; becoming aware of the things they are doing well and learning how to eliminate any tendencies that are distracting.

Each person will make multiple mini-presentations as they practice new techniques and learn first-hand how to effectively connect with the audience. We’ll discuss ways to tailor presentation content and delivery for the most engaging and impactful performance.

The workshop includes:

• Finding an intrinsic style
• Mastering physical presence
• Understanding the power of voice
• Using eye contact to connect
• Organizing to ensure a logical flow
• Telling a story
• Rehearsing to build confidence
