Opportunities to present information are everywhere in our professional and personal lives, but for many of us, having to speak in public is a significant challenge and a source of anxiety.
Opportunities to present information are everywhere in our professional and personal lives, but for many of us, having to speak in public is a significant challenge and a source of anxiety. The reality is that if we want to achieve professional and personal growth, we often need to speak to groups, large or small.
This program is designed to help participants make highly effective presentations, and become credible and effective public speakers through practice and immediate, personalized feedback.
You will leave the workshop with a ‘toolbox’ of tips, techniques and strategies to deliver well-structured, dynamic, and convincing presentations, whatever the occasion.
Topics:
The University of Ottawa’s Professional Development Institute (The Institute), originally branded the Centre for Continuing Education, was established over 25 years ago to offer higher learning opportunities to private and public-sector professionals and the community at large in Ottawa.
Over the years, we developed and nurtured expertise, growing significantly in both course offerings and new specialty knowledge areas, outgrowing its original mandate.
In late 2018, our organization was rebranded as the Professional Development Institute. The previous designation no longer encapsulated the breadth and depth of current and future offerings nor did it reflect our expanded mandate and reach.
Our Mission:
The Institute has been recognized as mission critical to the University of Ottawa and at the forefront of professional development in Ottawa and beyond.
We have greatly diversified our programming, developed strategic partnerships with both government and private industry, offered event-based learning and conferences, established co-designed programs with key government sectors, and more.
The highly sought-after “Institute” designation is rarely granted by the University administration, and done so only after very careful consideration.
A rigorous approval process, involving the President, the Provost and the Vice-Presidents, must validate the rationale and justification for the use of the ‘Institute’ label.
The fact that we have been granted this distinguished designation is testimony to our organization, its accomplishments and its potential, and to the dedication and engagement of our staff and expert instructors.
In this two-day workshop, you will master the skills that will make you a better speaker and presenter.
Private lessons at The Speech Studio Inc. focus on developing effective speaking and performance skills.
We can provide one of our standard workshops or a customized workshop.
Effective presentation skills have become an essential professional competency for achieving key goals and influencing the decisions and actions of your audience. Yet many surveys place delivering presentations at or near the top of most feared activities.
Course participants will learn tips and techniques for creating a confident presence in front of a group and discover proven strategies for dealing with questions, idiomatic language and interruptions.
