“You can improve your value by 50% by learning communication skills or public speaking.” - Warren Buffett in 2009.
You might find yourself thinking, "That sounds fantastic, but I struggle with a fear of public speaking." Interestingly, Buffett himself grappled with this fear, but this session will help you tackle that.
Nick Bird, MSB Executive, will cover the key elements of outstanding public speaking including:
- Becoming an engaging presenter by knowing your ‘Whys’
- How to grab your audience’s attention from the start
- How to maintain your audience's' attention through longer speeches and presentations.
- Closing your presentation to get the result you planned for.
- Using effective visuals to support your message.
