Presentation Skills: Be Your Informative or Persuasive Best!

This two-day skill-building participant-centered workshop is designed to develop and/or strengthen the participants’ persuasive presentation skills. Through interactive exercises, they: identify tips to overcome the six major speaking faults; describe seven different ways to organize a presentation; organize and prepare a brief persuasive presentation; and make a series of impromptu and planned presentations, which are video-taped for their later review.

Day Two is dedicated to having the participants: practice and assess stand-up presentation techniques for brief presentations they created regarding a key point from Day One; develop a persuasive presentation; make their presentation; and evaluate their presentation skills.
