Powerful Presentations - Speaking with IMPACT

The days of the talking head are over!  Today’s audiences are more sophisticated, more educated and more impatient--they want to be entertained as well as be informed.  Whether you are speaking to two people or two thousand, in-person or virtual, selling ideas, or delivering information, effective communication skills are key. This interactive program is designed to start you on your way to becoming more organized, confident, dynamic, and entertaining presenter.
