What characterizes a good presentation? How do you make your message targeted and relevant? How do you communicate with confidence and clarity?

Rhetoric is the art of influencing and persuasion - and the key to an effective presentation. This course will give you hands-on tools for presentations, both online and regular, and help you become clearer, more structured and more engaging.

The course will be delivered as a combination of short lectures and presentation exercises in smaller groups. 

Content:

  • How to prepare for your presentation: The rhetorical workflow.
  • Effective openings: How do you make your audience want to listen to your message?
  • Structural models to help sequence your content
  • Use your voice and body language to become clearer and more confident when you communicate.
  • How to avoid “death-by-PowerPoint”
  • How to involve and engage your audience
