From leaving a voice message on the phone to talking before large groups, you can learn to be a better, more polished public speaker no matter what your current skill level. In this seminar, you will be taught easy ways to overcome anxiety, techniques to speak well off the cuff, and how to get your ideas across verbally with poise in any setting. Topics include when to use gestures, humor and visual aids to add impact, and dealing with stage fright. Come ready to actively participate or simply listen and learn without any pressure to speak.
“Building a Powerful Personal Brand”
