Do you speak at conferences, public meetings, or other events where you need to convey a specific message? Have you ever felt like you didn’t quite hit the mark by the lackluster responses from your audience? Would you like to authentically engage people and help them consider a different point of view?


This popular and powerful two-day class (Jan 16 & 30) features best practices for designing presentations and is especially geared towards scientists and professionals who work in the public and private sectors.


 
In this class, you will learn how to:

  •  Transform the way you do PowerPoint;
  •  Deliver a crystal-clear message;
  •  Present data in a way that sticks in people's brains;
  •  Make your data come alive with story-telling;
  •  Keep your audience interested and engaged.

The classes will be held two weeks apart. In between, you will develop a short presentation to present to the class on Day Two. This is an opportunity for you to immediately apply what you've learned and to receive positive coaching and feedback. (14 CM AICP Credits/ CEP Points)


 

Lunch is provided.
