Being a comfortable and experienced presenter is an important skill, particularly as your career progresses and coaching and influencing stakeholders becomes a significant component of your role.
This session will explore effective presentation delivery methods including creating emotional connections with your audience and bringing them on the journey – the session will also cover some tips and techniques on how to make your presentation stand out from the crowd.
We will hear from two professionals’, Thomas Hansen and Vanessa Warburton, both with careers that span various professional services firms, on their experiences and what they have found to work best in an array of presentation situations.
This session is intended to be informal and interactive and we’ll encourage you to share some insights (wins, or war stories) as Thomas and Vanessa share their tips and tricks along the way.
