On the first day, the training participants learned how to prepare an interesting and engaging presentation, worked on techniques to manage stage fright, and gained substantial knowledge on what to pay particular attention to during a public speech to make the most of their potential.
We also learned about the importance of breathing, mental hygiene, visualizations, and what the power pose is.
On the second day of the training, we had the opportunity to receive further valuable lessons on how to be an original, engaging, and well-prepared speaker, in order to captivate the audience with our presentation and remain memorable for a long time.
In the first part of the day, we learned about different presentation styles, gained insights into the specifics of our audience, and how to interact with each type of listener.
We discussed body language, the specifics of various gestures, and issues related to consciously moving on stage. We also learned techniques for answering questions and principles for working with our voice.
In the second part of the training, the focus was on participants’ presentations. After incorporating all the tips and guidance, their second attempts were significantly more professional.
We thank Magdalena Prech for conducting an inspiring and content-rich training.
