Don’t be boring!
How to win over your audience every time you present
Sarina Mann of Break Through Public Speaking is a communication keynote speaker and public speaking coach and trainer.
You’ve likely heard of the expression death by PowerPoint – too many presentations fail to engage their audience. If your audience is bored or unengaged, you won’t get the intended results, even if your content is great and you’re in front of the right audience.
But it doesn’t need to be this way - the good news is:
- Nerves around public speaking can be overcome
- Public speaking isn’t a natural skill, it’s something you train in
- Everyone can learn how to present with impact
The goal is to provide you with actionable insights and practical tools that will transform the way you deliver your talks.
You’ll learn:
- How to develop authentic confidence (and get some confidence myths busted)
- Public speaking techniques to get your audience engaged
- How to grow your business through effective communication (whether you work for yourself or have a team)
By the end of our session, you’ll have a clear idea of steps you can take to transform your business success through effective communication, in particular presentation skills.
