Giving Effective Presentations
Jamie Crump, Director of Indirect Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Diversity, United Rentals, Inc.

Effective communication is critical to your success in business today and how you package your message can be as important as the content itself. Different audiences require different types of presentation materials and different styles of delivery. Those who can give an engaging, energetic presentation stand a better chance of having their message accepted (as in approved, funded, etc.) and remembered.

In this session you will learn how to tailor your message to your audience, how to keep your audience’s attention (even that pesky exec who can’t put their Blackberry down) and points to take your presentation from “ho-hum” to “yes”. We will also provide some tips on what you can do if you would prefer a root canal to speaking in public (dental work not included).
