Did you ever listen to a presentation that was poorly delivered, where you felt you were wasting your time? It happens, and when it does, you don't want to be the speaker doing the delivery. In this workshop, we will compare the same talk when presented in two different ways and use this comparison to get clarity on the do's and don'ts of oral presentations. After attending this workshop, you know the importance of telling鈥攁nd repeating鈥攁 story, the basics of effective use and design of slides, and how to use your voice and body for a compelling delivery.
