Description
Do you dread public speaking? Being an effective presenter is critical for anyone who is (or aspires to be) in a leadership position. In fact, certain presentations can be downright career defining.
Begin with the end in mind. Before you start working on your script or presentation, get clear on its purpose. What are you trying to accomplish? What impact do you want to have on your audience? Are you looking to inform? Inspire? Persuade? Knowing your ultimate purpose and desired outcome will help you stay focused through the preparation process.
Public speaking skills can help you succeed in professional and community involvements, and they teach you how to cope with information overload and find what you need to communicate with others.
