Presentation Title: The Communication Connection
One of the greatest needs of an engineer, computer scientist or other technical
professional is the ability to communicate effectively, especially with large
audiences. However, the thought of standing before an audience makes most people
nervous. Although various speaking assignments may initially cause an uncomfortable
feeling, the use of appropriate visual aides and proven public speaking skills
makes it possible to minimize nervousness, build speaker confidence, and improve
results for greater success. This presentation, designed by an engineer for engineers
and technical professionals, is a common sense approach to developing and delivering
powerful oral presentations. It includes demonstrations of the use of PowerPoint
and other visual aids to guide the speaker through the presentation and to increase
audience interest and retention.
