Instructor(s): Duncan Burl Gilles, Art of Problem Solving
As confident as we may be in the quality of our work, presentation can make or break the impact it has. Engaging the room and communicating clearly can make the difference between an unimpressed, bored audience and a thrilled audience eager to learn more. This course will focus on presentation techniques that help you communicate your ideas effectively and in an engaging manner. You’ll be trained on ways to draw your audience into your talk, engage them in active listening and thinking, and use your voice and the space of the room to command attention and convey your message. These are skills applicable in many areas – whether presenting your work to clients, teaching in the classroom, one-on-one interviews or discussions, and even CSP talks! After the talk, participants will have the chance to send a short video of a talk to the presenter for review and feedback.
