present - how to give effective presentations
DESCRIPTION
This presentation is based on my 25 years of personal experience as a presenter and technical trainer and two books I recently discovered by Garr Reynolds (Presentation Zen and The Naked Presenter). It shows how your attention makes or breaks your show and how you can improve your ability to master your attention and be your true self while you are up on that stage.TRANSCRIPT
