Communicating Effectively -- Creating Dialogue -- Part III
Giving presentations can be challenging, and in a hybrid or fully virtual work setting, it may never have been more difficult to capture and keep an audience’s attention. You can't read your remote coworkers body language like you previously could in a conference room or auditorium, and whatever email, text message, tweet, or LinkedIn notification pops up on their screen can pull them away from your presentation.
If your information is too important to be lost to this “noise,” please join Chris Hill, Ph.D., and Meridith Grundei, MFA, two instructors from Hillside Communications, and let them show you how simple it is to make you and your presentations simply unforgettable.
In three interactive, 60-minute sessions that can be purchased individually or as a series, Chris and Meridith will share what Hillside has learned working with over 30,000 scientific and medical presenters worldwide. We will take you through every critical step in planning and delivering engaging learning experiences for your audiences, online or in-person.
