Abstract
We’ve all been there: standing in front of a group, ready to give a speech and not knowing if we’ll make it out alive. It’s often been said that giving presentations is scarier than dying and, while that may not be true, it does bring out a lot of people’s deepest, darkest fears. Fear not, however, as presentations don’t have to be full of dread and doom. Anyone, no matter their personality, can become an effective presenter. In this workshop, we’ll get you off your feet and in front of people for the first time to deliver confident, engaging presentations. The basics of eye contact, gestures, body language, presentation structure, visuals, audience interaction and tips from the pros will make sure your first time isn’t the worst time.
