Dynamic Presentations: Public Speaking and Presentation Skills

Course description

Available for 0.5 elective credit in the CACE program.

Only offered face to face at UVic.

The ability to speak well in front of a group is a fundamental skill in the professional world. Moreover, the ability to convey important information to a group is pivotal to team and organizational success. So why is it that so many presentations are long, boring and lacking in inspiration? Enter Dynamic Presentations.

In this workshop, students will learn the three most important elements of a solid presentation: narrative, argument and audience engagement. Using the Pecha Kucha (pe-CHA ku-CHA) format of presenting, students will learn to deliver a leading edge presentation that will educate, motivate, persuade and entertain an audience.
