Ace Your Next Presentation: From Briefing the Boss to Rocking the Stage

Have you ever been tasked to give a big presentation? A Powerpoint update to your senior executive? Project proposal to a 20-person internal budget group? Talk in front of 100 people? We all have and it’s often scary. Public speaking and presentations are a skill that takes practice. While you can’t wake up and assume you’re going to be an excellent public speaker, you can hone the skills needed and the presentation tips incorporated to get closer to mastery.That’s why GovLoop & Young Government Leaders are hosting an online training focused on 20 presentation tips including:

• How to prepare and practice for a better delivery (hint: where your shoes)
• Creating a beautiful presentation (images, graphics?)
• Gain confidence before hitting the stage (overcome your nerves!)
• Making your ideas stick with storytelling (tips do actually tell stories)

After all, being an effective presenter is required for anyone who is (or aspires to be) in a leadership position. In some cases, your next presentation could be career-defining. Invest your time into your future and knock that next presentation out of the park, you won’t regret it.

Speakers include:

Lauree Ostrofsky, speaker, author, coach, PR strategist, marketer and Chief Hugger of Simply Leap, LLC
