Beyond the Tips & Tricks of Public Speaking

You can search the Internet. You can read blogs and books. You will find all the best tips and tricks to help with public speaking or presentation skills but, shouldn’t there be more? Yes. And now there is. This course will take you beyond the tips & tricks common to public speaking training as well as just a checklist of presentations and give you practical tools you will put to use immediately for your successful presentations and speaking events!

Presenting You! Powerful Presentation!

You’ve heard all the stories and have lived the experience; slides with too many bullets, audience
reading the slides while not paying attention to you, and not getting the “point” of the presentation. It
can be a challenge moving from creating slides with lists of bullet items to creating a presentation where
the objectives are met, the content is received, and new skills are ready to use. This course will provide
you with techniques to take the traditional approach of starting with slides and bullets and converting
them onto a presentation based on the content delivered by you, not just the slides with a list of
bulleted text.
