Presentation techniques

Do you dread public speaking? So do we! Studies show that women, in particular, tend to shy away from these situations.

However, mastering the art of presenting, whether it is giving a humble demo or a menacing conference talk, can significantly boost your visibility, expand your network, and advance your career. So it is a skill worth developing.

In this workshop, Christine and Elisabeth will guide you through essential tips for how to design your presentation and how to use your voice and your body language to your advantage. And even more importantly, they will talk about how to avoid letting your nerves get the better of you.

You will also get an opportunity to try out these techniques with PowerPoint Karaoke, a game where you will give a presentation about a random topic that you don’t know beforehand. This is a great way to practice the art of handling the unexpected on stage, within a supportive safe space, where we are all facing the same situation.
