Presentation Skills: Talking Out Loud

We all would like to look and feel comfortable, confident, and competent when making presentations—not just because it is good for our reputations in the workplace, but also because we know that delivering a presentation well will most effectively get our message across. In this program, we will learn techniques for adding energy and emotion to a presentation and for connecting with an audience, whether that audience is in a lecture hall, a meeting room, just across a desk, or on the other side of a videoconference.

Skills we will cover:

• Relaxation
  
• Gestures
  
• Movement
  
• Voice control
