Speaking under pressure means quickly organizing your thoughts and ideas and conveying them to your audience to modify attitudes or behavior. The course will focus on techniques and skills to make presentations, field difficult or hostile questions, or present complex information.
Intended Outcomes for the course

one week to prepare; get ready for questions, even before you know what those questions
will be; overcome nervousness that you may have when speaking in front of a group,
particularly if the group is not sympathetic to what you have to say; and use presentation
techniques that establish your credibility and get people on your side.
