Public Speaking Webinar series in August
I can’t believe I forgot to blog about this! Shame on me for not following my own advice. Okay, here’s the announcement:
This month I’m doing a four-part Webinar series on Public Speaking Skills, every Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Yes, I am really getting up early enough to do this.
You can join me and learn something or a lot of somethings, and you can sign up for each program individually or for all four for a discount.
As I talk about all the time, there are a variety of areas you need to focus on when presenting. This four-part series addresses several of them:
- Aug 9 Part I: Public Speaking for Business Development
- Aug 14 Part II: Creating and Organizing Your Presentation
- Aug 21 Part III: PowerPoint is Evil, but if You Are Going to Use it Use it Well
- Aug 28 Part IV: Improving your skills when moderating and speaking on panels & teleconferences
