Most people who make presentations at work have had little
or no training in presentation technique. Without training and
usually because they are anxious, even experienced presenters
develop some very common bad habits and poor practices that
seriously detract from the quality of their presentations. This
program enables you to deliver papers or reports at professional
meetings in a dynamic and informative way. The skills learned
in this course last a lifetime and instill confidence and integrity
in those who master them.
