SE A2Affinity Group

Join us at the Inforum Ann Arbor Affinity Group on Wednesday, October 2 featuring Barbara Boldt at the Regroup Office, 213 W Liberty St #100, Ann Arbor MI. 

Barbara Boldt will present Build Your Presentation Muscle: Create and Present a Mini-TED Talk. Part 1: Learning the Skills

In today’s fast-paced, distraction-laden business world, knowing how to create and deliver an impactful business presentation is a crucial skill. In this interactive, two meeting series, you will learn how to create and present a 5–7-minute TED style talk in a safe and supportive environment.

In the first session, Barbara Boldt will lead a presentation skills workshop that covers:

• -Establishing your goals
• -Assessing your audience
• -Structuring your message for maximum impact
• -Incorporating story for added umph
• -Delivering with confidence

Between the workshop and the next meeting, you will have one month to prepare your mini-TED style talk (you will receive clear instructions about what to do).

During the second meeting you will present your TED-style talk to an audience and get constructive feedback from both Barbara and the audience.

Note: if you want to present in the second session, you must have attended the first. The meeting will feature light hors d'oeuvres and networking 6 – 6:30 and Barbara’s presentation will begin at 6:30 pm.
