Powerful, Persuasive Presentations

Believe it or not, the number one fear for most people is “public speaking.” But fear not! In this course James tames this phobia by celebrating the power of positive feedback. There are no criticisms. No “constructive feedback.” Typically, we humans are critical enough of ourselves; we are the first to point out what went wrong. Real learning comes when we focus on what went well. This approach encourages participants to take risks and maximize their learning.

In this workshop, each participant will present twice, with positive group feedback following each session. Incorporating the latest adult learning techniques, this course is an exceptional team-building experience.

  • Techniques to captivate an audience within the first 30 seconds of your presentation
  • The two radio stations that guarantee success (WII-FM and MMFG-AM)
