Introduction

A great presenter has two unique qualities: appropriate skills and personal confidence. This confidence comes from knowing what participants want to say and being comfortable with their communication skills. In this two day workshop, participants will master the skills that will make them a better speaker and presenter. STARR is an acronym for Situation, Task, Action, Results, and Recommendations. This organizational strategy keeps you from leaving out important information. Some speakers neglect to tell an audience what they need to know. Others forget to tell the audience what they want to know.

Highlights of what participants will learn:

• Gain rapport with your audience
• Reduce nervousness and fear
• Recognize how visual aids can create impact and attention
• Create a professional presence
• Prepare and organize information in different ways.
