Master-Speaking

You’ve prepared a great presentation with lots of great content, you’re excited, passionate and ready to go. But when you walk out on stage, disaster strikes. Your hands begin to clam up, you get a lump in your throat and you start to shake.

You’ve forgotten everything!!!

How do we overcome our nerves and become a much more competent, natural speaker?

Join our discussion group on presentation skills, this week, were we will be talking about speaking with a natural style, overcoming nerves and dealing with those pesky Q&A sessions.

Wednesday 20th February
1:00 - 2:00
Global Lounge Resources Center

Bring along your group members or come as an individual, all are welcome.

You can see the audience falling asleep, you’re losing them! Someone
to your right is yawning, someone to your left is starting to doodle. All
of a sudden you realize that nobody is listening to what you are
saying.

This makes you more anxious, you become very aware of your own
voice, it IS boring! No wonder people are falling asleep! You don’t
know what to do and all of a sudden your presentation which you
have prepared, and practiced for weeks, is falling apart.

If you can relate to this, if you feel like your presentations lack
passion or that you have trouble engaging with your audience, if you
feel that far too often you lose your audience, then come along to
our peer discussion group on presentation skills.

We will be holding the second group in our series as follows:

Wednesday 13th February
1:00 - 2:00
Global Lounge Resources Corner

Using ‘The Exceptional Presenter’ by Timothy Koegel as a foundation,
we will be discussing how to become a more passionate presenter and
how to engage with the audience.

Bring along your group members or come as an individual, all are
welcome

Global Lounge, HKU

Wednesday January 30th

1.00 - 2.00 PM

Whether you are looking to engage your lecturer and class mates in a group presentation, put forward your points in a class discussion or impress at a job interview, you need to be prepared, confident and in control to achieve your goal.

Over the next few weeks we will be holding a series of four Presentation Skills discussion groups at the Global Lounge at HKU. The first session is next Wednesday, January 30th.

Using ‘The Exceptional Presenter’ by Timothy Koegel as a basis for discussion, the first session will concentrate on organizing your presentation and understanding your audience as the foundation needed for a successful presentation.

Start right now!

If you’re planning to attend the discussion group (or even if you’re not) we’d love to hear from you. We’d like you to tell us the one area of your public speaking or presentation skills that you would most like to improve. This will help us shape the discussions to your needs!

To do this simply leave a comment on this posting, or, if you would prefer to do it anonymously, send us a message via our Contact Us Page.

We look forward to seeing you at the session
