A Unique Format: Audio CD Instruction +Hands-on Workshop

The CD:Each participant receives a two-hour audio CD to listen to prior to the workshop. The CD set covers the basics of effective presentation skills.
The Workshop:Because the CD provides instruction, the day-long workshop (limited to 6) can then be devoted entirely to sharpening participants’ skills. Each person has several opportunities to deliver presentations, be videotaped, and receive extensive feedback and coaching.

• Team Presentations - Many business presentations are a team effort. Find out how to organize an effective team presentation, make it cohesive, transition seamlessly, and handle questions as a group.
