Overview: This course offers insight into how to make your presentations pop. From handling anxiety, to working the room, to managing that loud person who keeps interrupting, to developing slides and handouts that are engaging… this course will provide a brief overview of it all.

Why should you attend: Do you conduct training programs for your organization? Do you have to stand up in front of the room to deliver information about new benefits or policies? Do you have to make "sales presentations" to your organizational leaders in order to get buy in on your new programs? Or maybe you've been asked to speak at a local networking event?

For many, public speaking is scarier than death itself. In fact Jerry Seinfeld joked that when it comes to funerals, people would rather be in the box than give the elegy. Speaking anxiety comes from deep down inside - your survival instinct is working against you - so a special list of tools is needed to overcome that instinct.

Even if you aren't necessarily nervous about speaking in public, you may be wondering if you are an engaging speaker, or if there was more you could do to keep the audience's attention. After all, bullet points on PowerPoint slides are a thing of the past, along with printing out your slides to use as a handout.
