SPEAKING TO SMALL ROOMS
Speaker: Adam Polansky Public speaking isn’t just for big rooms with a podium and microphone. Sometimes it’s just you and five, ten, maybe twenty people, who might be your clients or stakeholders or project team members. Any time you address a group, you need to get your message across and know you'll be understood, and so prep and practice are always important. But when you’re speaking close-up there are different things to think about and opportunities you don’t have in a conference hall. You’ll leave the workshop with a set of tools to prepare for and deliver a great presentation to clients, peers, or execs. During the workshop, we’ll talk about how to: - prepare a presentation with long or short notice - manage your delivery and the room dynamics - speak successfully to executives - keep the conversation alive after the meeting - give a pitch (yes, we’ll even talk about that) This session will set you up to own the room the next time you have to present.
