How to Give a Presentation with Confidence, Conviction, and Comfort
(Full Day workshop)

Public speaking strikes fear in the hearts of just about everyone. But ask someone to tell a story, and their attitude changes because we are hard-wired to tell stories. When marketers learn how to use storytelling to become better presenters, they see career advancement and elevated professional stature.
