Presented by Paul Moore

Former President Gerald Ford once said, “If I went back to college again, I'd concentrate on two areas: learning to write and to speak before an audience. Nothing in life is more important than the ability to communicate effectively.”  Whether it is speaking to an audience of one or 1000, HR professionals constantly find ourselves needing to influence the actions and attitudes of others in order to accomplish our objectives and help our organizations meet their priorities.

In this session, learn the keys to communicating more effectively and convincingly to others, such as:

• The four questions every audience, small or large, want you to answer.
• The three components that result in the total impact of your ability to communicate.
• How to reduce podium panic and avoid “tornado” presentations.
• Quick suggestions for improving your visuals.
• Two keys guaranteed to improve your ability to communicate your message and increase your influence.

Join us for this lively session as we take a not-so-familiar look at a familiar subject and leave with suggestions you can put to work immediately to improve your ability to communicate confidently and convincingly to others.
