More About the Topic:

"Communication for Innovators" is a brief, interactive public speaking seminar designed to help participants express their creative ideas with confidence, clarity and persuasiveness.

The sixty-minute seminar contains two components:

• A brief public speaking lecture

• An interactive, participatory and peer-reviewed speaking exercise

The objective is to not only prepare participants for potential venture capital meetings, but also to enhance the way they formally structure and deliver ideas to audiences.

Interactive Public Speaking Exercise:

During the interactive public speaking exercise, participants will take turns answering impromptu questions before the group. Fellow attendees will time their responses, count “ums and ahs” and scan for the application of techniques from the lecture. Following their remarks, each participant will receive a round-robin-style performance review from their peers.
