Program Description

Ranked as number one on many lists of the greatest human fears: giving a presentation in front of an audience.  This session focuses on approaches for enhancing confidence and delivering structured, compelling presentations through real-time, “safe environment” practice. Participants will understand and practice all elements of preparing and delivering dynamic presentations.

Each participant delivers three practice presentations of various lengths and on various topics. These presentations are critiqued by the instructor and the participant “audience,” and two presentations are videotaped for continuous improvement. Participants will gain experience and confidence in their ability to Plan, Prepare, Package, and Share™ when they “stand and deliver.”
