Many presenters are experts and are truly passionate about sharing their topic. But learning how to work well with an audience is the dimension that is sometimes neglected. It takes time to find appropriate activities and to know where and when to use them. This course pulls all of that together for you. Together we will move through each stage of a typical seminar, from the time the audience enters the room to the end when you are asking for feedback. At each stage you will be provided with ways to enhance the seminar experience for your audience. Whether you like low-tech or high tech, and whether you are speaking to a small group or a large audience, you will find useful strategies to choose from in the wide variety of activities included in the course.
