ROI
What if you could discover the secret all exceptional presenters share? With a focus on professional business communication, Learn iT!’s 2-day Presentation Workshop teaches you how to interact effectively with the audience, what to do when you draw a blank, or suffer from the “ums” and “ya knows,” and how to captivate and persuade your audience with minimal anxiety.
Experience
Your two days will be spent in a group setting with a facilitator to learn and practice fundamental and advanced presentation skills. Included in the workshop are instructor led exercises, group activities and extensive feedback designed to increase your comfort and competency when speaking in public. Each participant will take part in a videotaped presentation followed by a peer feedback session and one-on-one feedback from a senior instructor to guarantee progress and eliminate any distracting behaviors.
