Winning Presentation Skills: For the Courtroom, the Boardroom, and Business Development
Program Highlights:
Strong Presentation Skills are Your Greatest Asset!
From your presentations in the courtroom, to the boardroom, at the negotiation table or in your everyday encounters, this dynamic seminar will provide you with practical skills that will enhance every aspect of your delivery, and will teach you the simple changes you can make to lead your listeners to the conclusions you want them to reach.
From stage presence to the sound of your voice, from engaging your audience to the structure of your story, this workshop will help you use the tools that professional actors and directors use to paint a clear picture and win the objective. You'll learn about the most common presentation mistakes we all make. You will walk out of this seminar armed with the tools you need and never make them again.
You will not only gain insight into the messages you are sending through your body language, facial expressions, and vocal inflection, you will also leave with solid skills you can use immediately in your practice and daily life. You will enjoy a thoroughly entertaining learning experience that includes movie clips and live demonstrations to illustrate the techniques discussed-it's two and a half hours you can't afford to miss if you want to be as effective as you can be!
Register now for this excellent program. We look forward to seeing you in February.
