Delivering Successful Professional Presentations
Mastering public speaking for corporate environments
Course Details
What's at stake when you deliver a presentation at work? Whether you are addressing your team, pitching to prospective clients, or talking to a wider corporate audience, you're not just conveying your message, you're shaping your professional reputation. Do a mediocre job, and your professional prospects dim. But surpass expectations, and colleagues start to see you in a new way -- as a leader. This workshop ? limited to 12 students ? will show you how to present your material and yourself in a comfortable, composed, compelling way. You'll learn how to use non-verbal communication to control the energy of the room, and use rhetorical techniques to draw your audience in and deliver an engaging and memorable presentation. Special attention will be given to using overhead slides and handouts effectively. Most importantly, you will learn to approach the presentation in the right frame of mind, so your audience always sees you at your best. This is an interactive workshop, so be prepared to stand up and share with the class. You'll also hear helpful feedback from both the instructor and your peers. By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to: Admission Requirements: Related CoursesTell me when courses like this are scheduled. • The Secrets of First-Person Writing (Video) – ONLINE

Instructor BioJohn Neffinger's Courses No courses available at this time.  John learned the art of public speaking during his time as a management consultant, where he prepared and delivered more than a hundred lectures for corporate audiences in the U.S. and overseas. He previously did communications work for both Harvard's Kennedy School and the Council on Foreign Relations. He has also practiced litigation and intellectual property law with a top-ten New York firm. John holds honors degrees from Harvard College and Columbia Law School. Testimonials John is a great instructor and definitely knows of what he speaks. As a successful, full time writer, he has firsthand knowledge of the challenges all writers face, and therefore can effectively speak to them and offer workable solutions. I'm looking forward to putting his recommendations into practice! --Virginia Fischer"If you are going to give a presentation about presentations, it had better be informative, entertaining and memorable. John Neffinger clears that high standard by a good margin." -- Mark Katz "John Neffinger was highly qualified, delivered a fantastic and very useful information, and helped us to put it into action. I only wish the class lasted another 3 hours." --Irina David "The course gave me some great pointers for delivering public presentations in front of a large or small audience. It gives you the fundamental keys you need in order to feel comfortable in front of a group of people. I was suprised how interactive the course was! Not only did we learn how to use verbal speech, but he also showed us the value of non-verbal speech." -- Ann Glover |
