T12PM   How to Give Great Presentations NEW!
Hal Pomeranz, Deer Run Associates

Who should attend: Anybody who wishes to become a better speaker and presenter.

Nearly every day you are called upon to present your ideas to others. Whether chatting in the hallways at work or standing up in the board room, presenting your ideas effects nearly every aspect of your life. Yet surveys show that having to speak in front of an audience is one of the most common fears that we all share. Presented by a highly rated and experienced speaker, his course teaches the golden rules that make a great technical presentation and the common mistakes that sabotage most speakers. Participants will be asked to practice lessons from the course in front of the other students.

Topics covered include:

-    The Golden Rules for Great Presentations
-    Planning and preparing for your presentation
-    Style: body language, eye contact, clothing
-    Handling questions - especially the tough ones!
-    Stories and humor
-    Visuals
