Masterclass overview
Communicating effectively through good public speaking skills has never been so important. These days we judge leaders not by their track record but by the delivery and content of their presentation. In future the best public speakers will probably look and sound like stand-ups. Those endless, pointless PowerPoint presentations will no longer do the job. It is time to learn the skills of great public speaking. In this refreshingly funny, insightful and interactive masterclass Jack Milner gives you all the tools needed to influence, persuade and engage with any audience. Whether you are talking to a large crowd at an o -site or presenting your department’s budget to the board – you will be able to take your audience with you and get your message across with perfection.
