Oral Presentation 101
The journey to great presentations requires commitment, planning, training, observation, practice, testing, feedback, reflection, mentoring and more practice. Practice makes perfect, and this workshop is designed to set you on the road to perfect. So seize this opportunity to stride another bold step towards being a professional public speaker, and learn how to: formulate purpose, face up to “so what?”, shape your physical form (voice, body, and environment), structure your content (words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and the “big idea”)
