Strategies for Developing Effective Presentation Skills

Develop your presentation skills to transform yourself from inexperienced speaker to skilled presenter.

Unstable economic times can mean fast and frequently unexpected organizational changes, greater responsibilities, and new projects and initiatives. Being a confident, polished speaker is not only necessary but well-advised in order to communicate such matters effectively and persuasively. In this three-day seminar, you'll develop your presentation skills and learn how to present your ideas with conviction, control, and poise-and without fear.

You'll gain the specific presentation skills and direction you need to become comfortable with your own style. And you'll receive expert advice on how to handle especially challenging situations. Most important, you'll gain presentation skills by making actual presentations.
