    Do you dread giving presentations, speaking up in meetings, pitching clients, delivering reports, or interviewing for jobs? Ever make excuses to avoid a presentation? Worse yet, has your career suffered because you passed up an opportunity that required public speaking? You can make sure it never happens again.

    Don’t miss this upcoming small-group coaching series, which was featured last winter in the Washington Post’s Express. Taught by Christine Clapp, president of Spoken with Authority and professor in the Department of Organizational Sciences and Communication at The George Washington University.

    Sessions will cover:

    *Channeling nervous energy into enthusiasm
    *The five secrets of speaking with confidence
    *Preparing memorable presentations with Clapp's Oreo Outline
    *Presenting in formal and informal situations: informative speaking / briefings, pitches / persuasive speaking, Q&A sessions / impromptu speaking, introductions / networking events, storytelling / speaking to entertain

    If you want to experience the feeling of pride you get when you deliver a dynamic conference presentation or a toast that hits just the right chord, sign up today for the Speaking Success Series.
