Effective Presentations: Verbal and Visual Communication Skills

In this presentation skills workshop, you will discover that presenting isn’t just about public speaking. You will learn that there are many other tools that make presentations effective and do not require you to be center stage. We invite you to develop skills to know your audience, create compelling messages, design impactful slides, and use interactive tooling to engage the audience. You will have the opportunity to learn and practice without fear of judgment. Even seasoned presenters experience performance anxiety and this workshop offers tools and approaches to preparing and building confidence as presenters. Join us to experience a workshop where mistakes are opportunities to learn, and growth happens in a secure and encouraging environment. Elevate your presentation skills, both verbally and visually with us!
