Polishing Presentation Skills. Keeping the Audience Engaged!

Monday, June 29, 2020 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am | Webinar Registration

Presented by Barnes Team Media and hosted by DIR as part of the Technology Today Series (TTS).

Online collaboration and remote work - growing trends across all business types - is the new reality for many. We find ourselves in endless virtual gatherings, both formal and informal. What once was a casual hallway conversation may now be a scheduled, recorded meeting. The presentation previously considered routine in
front of a familiar in-person audience may now be delivered into the internet
abyss, without the body language and non-verbal cues upon which we rely.

Yet presentation fundamentals do not change! Good presentation skills transcend the delivery method. Join us for a one-hour webinar as we revisit some of the basics and explore how they can be applied to conventional or virtual presentations.

Topics will include:

  • Understanding the differences and similarities between in-person and virtual presentations
  • Delivering a powerful presentation, whether you are an introvert or extrovert
  • Keeping your audience engaged and getting them to interact
  • How to make your message memorable
  • Using visuals to help you, not hurt you

Audience

Any public sector employees interested in the topic are welcome to attend.
