Presenting to the Board

This is public-speaking workshop specifically aimed at presenting in a board-like meetings: a semi-formal meeting with an audience of 4 -10 people.


Be it in a Steering Committee, an Executive Committee or at a Board meeting, certain situations require that a technical subject-matter expert be invited to shed light on specific concerns. Presenters who don’t have much experience with such a setting, may get bogged down in details, run over time and miss their opportunity to get across a critically important message.  This Workshop will give participants a chance learn how to best prepare for this kind of exercise, to be compelling and persuasive. This is also a helpful overview for any public speaking performance.
