International Reach is hosting another training social! On November 21st at 5pm Alex Zielske will be facilitating a workshop on public speaking skills. Here's a few speaking tips as a preview!

What's the hook? 

•  What is the goal of your presentation? Why does the audience care about the topic? What do you want them to get out of your presentation?

Keep it concise!

• Trying to cover too much information will loose your audience. Think of a few key points you want to make.

Don't Memorize

• Memorizing a speech word for word is difficult and it makes it more likely that you will get flustered and mess up. It also sounds less natural to the audience. Know the main points and fill in the gaps with a natural flow of words.

Practice!
 Practicing makes you more prepared. Be sure to practice out loud to your friends, family, cat, ect. Practicing in your end takes less time and you'll under estimate how long your speech is.
