COMMUNICATE WITH POWER IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

When you’re presenting virtually, it can be hard to get—and hold—an audience’s attention. Digital distractions, virtual meeting fatigue, and technical issues keep listeners from receiving the message you’re communicating.

This virtual workshop teaches you the foundational set-up techniques, mindset shifts, and presentation skills necessary to make your message clear, your delivery engaging, and your audience participative and interactive—even in a virtual environment. You’ll learn the secrets of a great virtual video and audio set-up; tips for making slides optimized for virtual presenting; means of coming across as comfortable, dynamic, and empathetic; and techniques for leading a virtual presentation or meeting—even when it feels like it’s being derailed.
