Public Speaking

Overview:

Understanding that superior presentation skills are crucial to personal/ professional development and career enhancement, you will be able to prepare material easily and communicate effectively.

This is a concentrated three-day course which identifies and demonstrates techniques for delivering effective presentations. The course involves lectures and practical exercises. After the instructor’s lecture on each topic, you are given an opportunity to practice newly learned information in practical exercises to reinforce and develop those skills. Five types of presentations are analyzed and you are taught how to determine which would be the most appropriate for every audience.

The information is timely, relevant and designed to help you get long-term results. It includes valuable tips and checklists to equip you with the tools to present highly professional, effective briefings and other types of verbal presentations.
