Public Speaking and Presentation Skills // BUSINESS 359

Kelly Hadous, Founder, Win the Room

Wednesday, December 21st from 7:30 - 9:30 pm

In this interactive workshop, you will be up on your feet learning to identify the physical and psychological blocks that are keeping you back from communicating your presentations with passion. Your speaking and presentation skills, or lack thereof, can influence an outcome dramatically. A well-trained voice will enhance your ability to convey your business objective and sell your ideas more effectively.

Many powerful leaders know that in order to influence their audience they must move them emotionally. In the class, you will learn to be less self-conscious, and engage and connect more with an audience, through highly interactive exercises that are rooted in performance, psychology, and business. Kelly will also work on your voice, such as how to project sound, use inflection, sharpen your articulation, speak with more ease and learn how to undo tension patterns that affect your voice.
