Virtual Lecture - Be Seen: Be Heard: Make an Impact VIRTUALLY.
The council have been exploring options for virtual lectures and socials, as we know many of you have enjoyed attending these events in the past. The details for upcoming socials are still being finalised, however, we are pleased to confirm that the first virtual lecture will take place later this month, more details can be found below.
Date & Time: Wednesday 26th August 2020, 12-1pm.
Topic: Be Seen: Be Heard: Make an Impact VIRTUALLY.
Overview: With these changing times, we are all being forced to communicate virtually: conference calls, webinars, phone calls, as well as emails. In this interactive workshop, Susan will use the principles behind the Superstar Communicator™ methodology to find specific techniques to ensure you are making an impact when communicating virtually.
Learning Objectives: The aim of this course is that you will go away with knowledge and practical ways to be seen, be heard and make an impact when they speak. This includes:
- Identify who you are speaking to and ‘what’s in it for them’.
- The variety of virtual platforms you could be speaking on
- Create clear, concise, focused messages
- The importance of preparation and ideas for preparing
- How non-verbal communication (body language) plays a part in any speaking – even online
- How we can make it as easy as possible for others to listen to listen to us, by using our voices effectively, particularly virtually.
