Nervous about public speaking? Me too!

«Perfect is the enemy of good» - I had the opportunity to refine my presentation skills over two intensive days at the ZHAW School of Management and Law.

Practicing presentation skills

A strong story is the key to a successful presentation. Marius Born showed us how to present ourselves on camera and sharpen our unique presentation profiles. His intuitive and spontaneous approach inspired me. My tendency toward perfectionism and my attention to detail sometimes hold me back – something I’d like to work on.

Structuring a speech

Ilona Diesner showed us what makes a presentation compelling: from the structural setup to visual aids and the effective use of media. The structured argumentation helps me to focus on the objectives und to justify them convincingly.

Many thanks to the training team and everyone who made this course so valuable - applause!
