Public Speaking 101
The
spoken word is one of the most powerful message carriers. Despite recent
technological advances we must still be able to share important information
while keeping our audience interested and entertained. How can this be
accomplished when the information is 'dry' or technical? How can a technical
talk be turned into a powerful presentation? How do you start putting a
presentation together?
Steve Kissell shares the inside tips from his professional speaking experience. After more than 1,000 presentations he is able to help organizations get the most from their staff's experiences. Discover how important humor is to any presentation and when to use it. Understand how to look for humor and how it can help create a memorable presentation. Learn the mechanics of speech writing; how to grab their attention and keep it!
