Few things in business are more important than the ability to present your ideas in clear and compelling terms. Solid presentation skills can help you win approval for your projects, close a sale with a customer, earn a raise, get a job and burnish your reputation in the marketplace.
In this engaging and information-packed session, you’ll get practical advice on how to avoid the deadliest of presentation and public speaking sins, from listless delivery to lackluster content, from meandering stories to mundane visuals.
And you’ll learn how to create and deliver the kind of presentations that will make your colleagues wake up and take notice. So whether you’re new to public speaking or feeling your skills could use some polish, you’ll come away with practical steps that will give you greater confidence when all eyes are on you.

He’s a former VP at Ogilvy PR and press secretary to a state attorney general, among other things. A Second City-trained actor and improviser, Rob has appeared in more than 150 stage and commercial productions. He brings these two worlds together in workshops and his book, Act Like You Mean Business: Essential Communication Lessons from Stage and Screen.
