This intensive and entertaining program will use lectures and demonstrations to improve your speaking skills. Learn the essentials of knowing your audience, selecting a topic, gathering information, developing your speaking style, using humor, conquering fear, creating an image, handling questions and much more. As a special feature, the afternoon will include volunteer speaking demonstrations from four attendees, each of whom will present a three-minute talk and be critiqued by fellow attendees as well as the instructors.

These volunteer talks, which will be interspersed with the afternoon lectures, will illustrate the techniques and nuances of delivery, speaking voice, and style. The afternoon session will be a learning experience for the volunteers, who will receive skill-sharpening suggestions in a non-threatening environment, and for the other attendees who will learn by participating in the critiques. Take advantage of this risk-free setting to polish your speaking skills, become a better orator and deliver more effective networking and marketing presentations.
