Course Description

Presentation Protection Plan The "Presentation Protection Plan" course is a simple yet thorough way of preparing people for creating and delivering presentations, speeches, talks and pitches. This concise course forces students to focus on what is most important for them to communicate their messages in a presentation, and then gives them a step-by-step process for practicing and delivering the speech. Public speaking doesn't have to be hard or wildly time-consuming. In many corporate and institutional environments, people start focusing on the wrong metrics, i.e. more and more bullet points on PowerPoint slides, versus what can truly be understood and remembered by the audience. Presentation coach TJ Walker has spent 30 years coaching executives to be more effective speakers. This course is a highly concentrated dose of his most effective techniques on how to be a better public speaker and presenter.
