Title: Online Presentation Skills - Session #2
Date and Time: 12 - 1:30 PM PST (group introductions and networking, if desired, begin around 11:30 AM)
Speaker: Kim A. Page - Communication Expert, Trainer, Speaker, Author
Description: Working remotely is here to stay, bringing countless online meetings and
presentations. When we communicate through the screen, we go from using five to two senses, leaving taste, smell and touch behind while relying on visual and audio only. This shift requires a whole new set of skills when we engage with clients and stakeholders. The core question that keeps echoing across platforms and industries is the same: ‘How do we make it engaging?’
These sessions will help you build rapport and boost your speaking impact online
Goals:
- Demonstrate how to use the 5-step preparation method for presentations
- Demonstrate how to set up a professional and effective screen background
Objectives:
- By the end of these sessions the participants will be able to optimize their engagement with clients through the screen
