“15 Strategies for Keeping Your Audience Awake, Alert, and Inter-Active!”
Oct 14 1-2:30 King St Center , 8th floor Conference Center
Free
DESCRIPTION: Do you speak at conferences, public meetings, or other events where you need to convey a specific message?
Have you ever felt like you didn’t quite hit the mark by the lackluster reactions of your audience members?
Would you like to authentically engage people and help them to consider a different point of view?
This two-day class features best practices for designing presentations and is especially geared towards scientists and professionals who work for local and state agencies. In this class, you will learn how to:
- Transform the way you do PowerPoint;
- Use visuals in a way that has impact;
- Make your message memorable;
- Tell a compelling story;
- Create rapport with your audience;
- Present data in an accessible way;
- Drill down to your most important message.
The classes are two weeks apart. You will develop a short presentation to present to the class on Day Two when half the class attends Oct 1, the other half Oct 2. You will immediately apply what you’ve learned and to receive positive coaching and feedback.
Day One, each student works on elements of their Day Two presentation. You get one-on-one attention on the first day, and we’ve already boosted the class numbers. Please wait for a future class if you can’t attend both days.
