As your career progresses you will be asked to be a speaker, or deliver a presentation, more, and more. And it doesn't matter if you enjoy it or not, your thoughts and ideas will need to be communicated to others if you expect to succeed in your career. Working from home, virtual meetings and training sessions, have become the norm. Just because you can open up the Zoom app doesn't mean you're good to go. You need a plan for delivering your message in virtual rooms and spaces.
Kirsten Rourke joined us with some tips and tricks for leveling up your online presentation skills. She's been a trainer, consultant, and top presenter, for years and teaches others how to do it too. You need these skills now more than ever. Even if you think you're pretty good at presenting in the real world, that skillset and confidence may not translate effectively into the virtual world.
Watch the replay of this wide-ranging conversation about becoming a better presenter/speaker. This is a perfect episode for professional development for employees at all levels within your organization. Book a conference room, or just share the link, with your team.
