presents American Management Association Seminars
EFFECTIVE EXECUTIVE SPEAKING
Seminar No: 02522 -XNBB
CEU Credits: 1.8
Length: 3 days
Speak, present, and communicate with poise, power, and persuasion
Today, presentations and public speeches are very much a part of every executive's responsibilities. And what distinguishes the successful professional from everyone else is effective executive speaking. This skill is most critical to your success—and to your individual and corporate image. At this seminar, you'll be videotaped in action as you address your colleagues—and you'll improve, relax, and refine your technique with each performance. You'll critique yourself in a supportive environment—to see what works and what doesn't—and you'll benefit from the expertise of your seminar leader/coach. You'll learn to use powerful tools and techniques to turn every speech or presentation from an agonizing experience into a rewarding one.
