There will be a question-and-answer period and at the conclusion of the session.
Learn how to stand out and be effective!
1. Capturing your audience’s attention in the first 30 seconds.
2. Five focus areas for making your best (virtual) first impression.
3. Best practices for updating your (virtual) presentation toolkit.
4. Incorporating content retention hacks into your presentation.
5. Effectively testing your technology – a practical checklist.
The presentation will include real-life demonstrations that the learner can immediately incorporate into their daily virtual interactions with others.
The presenter will ensure that the audience knows what’s in it for them, and these best practices will ensure they are able to effectively convey the ‘why’ for the audience into their own presentations.
Polling will allow for introspection and reflection by the audience before, during and after the presentation.
The presentation will explore individual biases to virtual learning, introduce the application of gamification during meetings, and encourage audience interaction.
We look forward to seeing you on the 23rd!
