Effective presentations are one sure-fire way to put yourself and your ideas in the spotlight -whether in a corporate workplace, small business marketing or civic engagement activities.

You’ve heard the stats – the majority of Americans are more afraid of speaking in public than they are of dying.  But it doesn’t have to be that way.  Of course, we can’t create totally confident, polished speakers in an hour, but this session will provide the Top Five Tips to get you on the path toward poised presentations.  And the Top Five Traps to avoid as well.

Professional speakers (and PWA members) Mary Kutheis and Nancy Nix-Rice will share lessons they’ve learned over decades (they started young) of presenting to groups of all sizes, ages, industries, incomes and authority levels.  You’ll walk away with ways to model their successes and learn from their mistakes (so you don’t have to make them all for yourself).
