Present Like A Pro: With Confidence and Impact

Present Like A Pro is what you'll do after learning how to design and deliver effective presentations. Increasingly, it's not just what you meant to say, but how you say it that makes the difference. Learn how to organize a powerful presentation, use PowerPoint visuals that complement your speech, and present with confidence and impact. In a small group setting, you will apply the principles to your presentation, and then present it to the group, using feedback from the videotape and the group to perfect your style.

This one-day workshop format is very intense. Prior to the program, you submit a needs assessment survey and sample presentation to work on during the workshop. We start by learning presentation fundamentals, which you apply to your presentation. Then, you practice presenting it and use feedback from watching yourself on video, and from the class, so you can develop and deliver powerful presentations. During the following two-weeks; you can tweak your presentation and send it to the coach for more feedback, as well as pose additional questions..

What You Will Learn
