Speaking and Presentation Skills

(2.4 ceu)

In this course, you learn how to define your audience, economize your preparation time, practice tools to present yourself clearly and persuasively, handle questions and awkward situations, and effectively use visual aids. Working with your voice, face, and body language, the instructor coaches you in developing your own personal style to help you build rapport with your audience. An important emphasis of the course is practice in a supportive environment so that you approach a presentation with confidence, even pleasure.
