General Description
This workshop is designed to enhance presentation skills by covering four major skills areas: planning content, using effective delivery techniques, designing powerful visual aids, and gaining control of external factors that can impact on the presentation process. This is achieved by having the participants prepare and deliver a presentation, evaluate it, and apply new skills and techniques to improve it.
At the beginning of this seminar, the participants will learn to plan a well-organized and informative presentation. The participants will then deliver this presentation, both as a means to test their mastery of the planning process, and as an evaluative tool for their presentation skills.
