Presentation and Public Speaking Skills in Business

Interested in improving your presentation and public speaking skills for the workplace?

Join us in an interactive, in-person workshop at the Silicon Valley Campus to learn:

• Effective presentation design strategies
• Presenting and public speaking “do’s and don’ts”
• Group and panel presentation skills
• Speech writing and delivering skills
• Target audience and target purpose awareness
• Vocal and physical methods to engage and sustain the audience’s attention
• Guidelines for the communicative value of intonation in presenting and speaking in public 

Participants will leave the workshop with a foundational understanding of how to apply new strategies to their own presentation skills. Plus you’ll learn about online resources to continue developing your professional presentation and public speaking skills beyond the workshop. 

People of all skills are welcome to attend this event. Bring your public speaking questions!
