Women in Construction: Present with Confidence

Description

Confidently presenting, whether to small team or to large groups, requires presenters to be organized and manage their emotion in the moment to maintain the interest of the audience. To excel as a leader, successfully executing a presentation that was planned is as equally impactful as being called on in the moment to lead a meeting. Presentation is not just about creating great slides but having the techniques will enable your message to be delivered in any setting. 

At the end of this workshop, you will:

• Effectively manage nerves, fears and uneasiness
• Develop organized and logical content
• Understand and apply the power of body language and voice
• Skillfully utilize and interact with visual aids
• Manage audience questions and maintain audience interest
• Build confidence and skills through practice and feedback

Intended Audience

Any woman working in the construction industry looking to gain practical skills to develop their presentation skills.
