In today’s world, communication and presentation skills are what define our professionalism. Achieving goals in business meetings, negotiations, presentations, as well as career growth, largely depend on mastering these skills. Let’s agree that it is much easier to build trust, persuade, “sell” your idea, motivate or inspire if you are a good conversationalist and speaker. This course is an opportunity to better understand what happens to us when we speak and how to use verbal and non-verbal communication tools to make it useful and enjoyable for both the speaker and the listener.
