Improve your public speaking skills at PR News’ June 23 webinar — public speaking 2.png

On-demand webinars are available for one year after the live webcast.

Join PR News for its webinar on Thursday, June 23, 2016, and learn how to improve your public speaking skills and enhance your personal profile in your industry. You’ll also learn how to coach your senior leaders into improving their own game in front of live—and virtually live—audiences, as well as deliver killer slide-based presentations.

Our public speaking experts will share with you practical tips and exercises to help you manage your fear of appearing nervous while speaking before an audience, calm yourself in the moment when you’re delivering a speech or presentation, recognize when you’re unprepared in advance of a planned speech or public talk and—most important—learn from your mistakes.
