Why Bad Presentations Happen to Good Causes (and how to ensure they won't happen to yours)
Why do so many presentations fail to engage, educate or persuade when this is just what they set out to accomplish? Learn how to avoid the most common mistakes and BORE NO MORE.
If you have wasted enough time with bad presentations – on either side of the podium – this workshop is for you.
Based on unprecedented research across the public interest sector, this talk can help you avoid the most commonly made mistakes (“The Fatal Five”), structure your information in ways that help audiences absorb it, use PowerPoint more effectively, and deliver your talks with greater confidence.
Andy Goodman is a nationally admired author and presenter. He will have you grinning and learning with charming ease. Leave work early on a Friday and come to hear A.Good.Man for a very special--and happy--hour!
This event is FREE, but registration is required.
