Becoming an Effective Public Speaker
Because communications mastery is highly subjective, a communications expert will simulate an actual presentation, meeting, etc. There will be a critique of your communications performance via videotape, and you’ll get a chance to be a “silent listener” during a simulated conference call to identify what works and what doesn’t.
Speaker: Lois Phillips, PhD, Specialist in Strategic Planning and Strategic Speaking
