Dynamic and Effective Public Speaking: Creating Powerful Presentations Workshop
“Four years have now passed since I took your Public Speaking course
By the end of this month, I would have spoken to over 600 trainees at our national vocational school. This month, I spoke both in Port of Spain, in the South and was asked to speak in Tobago as well. While not as yet being paid for my presentations, I am enjoying the exposure and experiences – both speaking and being in touch with the different audiences. It is truly fulfilling work.
When I spoke on a stage all alone in front of 300 persons last week, I could not help but think that I would never have been able to do it without that this public speaking course. I refer to what I learned then every single time I have to present.”

Effective, dynamic public speaking and presentation skills can be learned! Connie Kadansky has taken on peoples’ number one fear and goes beyond the traditional advice of imagining your audience in their underwear. She identifies five key areas of effectively communicating with an audience:

This 2-day highly participative workshop provides opportunities for individuals to practice and refine public speaking in a safe and supportive class setting. Participants will have numerous opportunities to engage in discussions, application, and experiential exercises. To deepen the learning, an optional videotaped presentation and feedback session is available to each participant.
Course Materials:
A needs assessment is distributed prior to the course, to determine specific needs of individuals. In addition, work projects, handouts, student evaluations, and certificates of completions are furnished to provide evidence of training.
