Description/ Purpose Statement
Part of having a poised and professional image is being able to present information in a clear, coherent manner in front of a group of people. The purpose of this class is to learn some of the tricks of the trade for presenting to a group of learners or a group of managers. Learn what to look for in room setup, how to prepare for a presentation, how to develop stellar audiovisuals, use basic PowerPoint, and hone your own presentation style. Be prepared -- at the end of the day, you'll actually get to try out your new knowledge by presenting to a small group!

Target Audience
This class was designed for those new to giving presentations and those looking to expand or refine their presentations.
