Course Description
Overview:
The ability to deliver presentations is vital to achieving advancement for yourself and for your ideas. Few skills in life will contribute to your success as much as presentation skills. Without a dynamic and coherent presentation, even stellar ideas can fail to convince your audience. The pathway you’ll follow in this course will help you organize ideas into coherent and convincing oral presentations by using both visual aids and recommended public-speaking techniques to strengthen your delivery.
In this course, you’ll have an introduction to the concepts behind creating an effective presentation and organizing ideas in a cohesive way to get your intended message across to your audience. You’ll use a variety of tools and approaches to prepare to deliver different types of presentations in your work environment. These skills will be immediately applicable in a real-world setting, as you return to your workplace to create and deliver complete presentations from start to finish.
Course Objectives:
In this course, you’ll have the opportunity to examine the key elements of successful presentations and to practice relevant skills. These important concepts and tools will help enable you to create and deliver your own effective presentations, both in-person and virtually.
