Participants will be required to select a job-related presentation topic and then work to develop a finished presentation, complete with visual aids. They will practice presenting their selected subject on a number of separated occasions.
The final presentation will be videotaped. The seminar leader and participants review all stand-up practice sessions to determine how an actual audience received the presentation.
