Course Description
This fun, interactive one-day course is taught by the well-known public speaker and author Ken Zeigler. He has over 30 years’ experience. It is designed to give participants tips, tools, ideas, and strategies to make their presentations more effective. His “hands-on” approach shows participants how to plan their presentation, what information to include, and how to organize it, so it creates their desired outcome or result. Even the most panic-stricken participant will feel more confident and comfortable after taking this class. This class is taught from the participant’s perspective so the class can identify more quickly with the material.
Participants start out with a presentation using their current skills. This is videotaped. As the course progresses they are given different skills and tools in each module. After each module they will give another presentation and receive feedback from the class, instructor, and videotape. Each participant gives three presentations per class. They can see the gradual transformation as they progress through the class. At the end of the class each person gives a final presentation using all the skills, tips, and tools they received during the session. Each participant then shares what the biggest difference(s) is before and after taking the class.
