  1. Find your voice (present with ease and confidence)

  2. Be yourself in front of others (present as YOU vs a stiff, formal version)

Most presentation courses try to make you better at presenting. They teach you how to use your hands correctly, and stop saying “uh,” and smile more. That’s all well and good, but when panic sets in, you won’t remember any of it.

This course helps you get comfortable presenting poorly. Because that’s your fear, isn’t it? You don’t want to look like an idiot in front of important people during a big presentation. And as long as you have that fear, (“This has to be perfect!”) you’re gonna be nervous presenting.

We’ll tackle that fear head on. Through fun improv techniques and exercises, you’ll learn to laugh your way through those imperfect moments, so that when they happen in real life, you won’t panic.

We’ll play with the psychology and ideas behind:

Addressing the Fear: Handling the nerves, breathing, recovering from mistakes.

Delivery Techniques: Connecting to the audience, body language, speaking to be heard.

Speaking Freely: Having opinions, making decisions, finding your voice.

Essentially, learning to be yourself, not some formal presentation robot.

Instructor: Cam Algie and Ken Hall (barring unforeseen scheduling conflicts, both instructors will co-facilitate each class)
