I think we had a really good workshop last night, and while half the class was missing, I think it gave the opportunity for some good one-on-one discussions on improving public speaking skills. Hopefully, you will be able to utilize some of the practice techniques on your own this week to help you build your confidence and start gaining the habits that you’re looking to acquire.
We talked so much last night about bad visual aids and bad PowerPoint presentations that I thought I would do a little research today about the subject. As I mentioned last night, I’m interested too, now that I know that I officially have been declared a “bad” PowerPoint user as well. Just doing a web search netted me about 9,000,000 links, so there is obviously some sort of trend out there that others have noticed.
