ON: Honing Your Presentation Skills – Effective PowerPoint Presentations

This seminar will give you the tools to master what to say and how to say it.

We have all sat through many PowerPoint presentations. Some memorable, but many likely forgettable. How do you make sure your message remains memorable long after you finish presenting? How do you connect with your audience and how do you use the PowerPoint slides to enhance your messaging? You’ll come away from this session with new skills on how to craft your story, and how to tell it with impact. This event is eligible for 2 CEUs.
