The Office of Sponsored Programs hosts a free webinar sponsored by Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research that is intended for anyone who wants to improve his/her speaking and presentation skills.

You will learn how to:

  • Develop specific areas of the public speaking skill-set that seldom get attention but make the difference between a ho-hum presentation and a powerfully persuasive one; 
  • Capture your listeners’ attention and create a positive impression with your first sentence; 
  • Structure your information so listeners understand and remember your message; 
  • Diagnose resistance to your ideas and apply appropriate strategies to overcome it; 
  • Make a simple yet powerful mental shift that simultaneously calms your nerves and builds rapport with your listeners; and 
  • Adjust your message and methods depending on the context, size and formality of the occasion.
