In this lively 3.5 hour Saturday workshop, you'll learn to think on your feet, instead of wishing afterwards, "I wish I had said that" in the heat of the moment. You'll learn to manage performance anxiety (stage fright) through a fascinating lens of Neuroscience insights. Through big fun IMPROV Games you'll gain confidence. Through very specific rhetorical techniques, you'll walk out with more of a sense of influence.
In this Masters class in Presentation Skills you'll practice challenging and fun "What If" scenarios straight from your work life. As we grow in our careers we pitch ideas, ask for funding, and roll out changes to leaders, partners and peers. We're asked to chair panels, do media interviewsstep up our public speaking.
How well you hold your own in these high-stakes presentations can propelor impede your career. When you're in the hot seat, do you get buy-in or fail to inspire? Can you turn critics into advocates? Can you win hearts and budgets or freeze up?
