Course Overview: 

Fear of public speaking consistently ranks number one on surveys year after year.  Part of this concern stems from the fact that so few people ever get any real  training in what it takes to deliver a good presentation.  This one-day workshop enables participants to identify the key components of a good presentation and more importantly, how to turn it into a great one!  Participants will learn a comprehensive plan for creating presentations that work for both formal and informal presentations.  The course shares a 3-step process that allows learners to A.C.E. their presentations while catering to the goals and objectives of their audience.  In addition to improving verbal presentation skills, the course also addresses the importance of professional visual aids that support your message rather than competing with it.  This engaging instructor  shares the invaluable tools and strategies that he’s learned as an international speaker and presenter over the past decade.
