How to master virtual public speaking

Public speaking – whether at a team meeting or in front of a large crowd at a public event – usually triggers a wide range of reactions: trying to keep your hands from shaking, heart pounding – or being energized from looking into so many faces and being ‘on stage’.

But what about virtual public speaking: when you suddenly talk to a screen and need to manage both your talk and technology at the same time? For some it takes off pressure; for others it is yet another set of unknown variables to deal with.

As workplaces have moved online throughout the past year, the challenges of public speaking have suddenly become very different. Even experienced ‘offline’ presenters wonder how to make the shift to an online setting: Can I continue using my usual PowerPoint slides? How will I know whether my audience is bored or lost – and what should I do about it? Will technology be my friend or my enemy?

Watch this free online workshop to learn how to master virtual public speaking skills. You’ll learn how to meaningfully connect with your audience online, whether you’re delivering a presentation in a meeting to your team, or an address to a large crowd online.
