Webinar Overview:

“According to most studies, people's number-one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” – Jerry Seinfeld.

If you have ever felt that giving a presentation would be the worst moment of your career, or perhaps just want a confidence boost, this class will help. You’ll learn a variety of techniques to improve your presentation skills and walk away with practice exercises to get you ready for your next presentation.

Webinar Topics:

  • Techniques that improve presentation skills:
    • Mastering your content
    • Using non-verbal communication to demonstrate confidence
    • Preparing a strong opening and closing
    • When and how to use visuals to increase your effectiveness
  • How to elicit involvement/interaction from participants
  • How to manage challenging participants
