Event description
Move from being simply informative in your presentations to becoming a confident and convincing presenter …
Listen and learn as Vanna Novak – keynote speaker, trainer and consultant helps you get busy developing and delivering persuasive presentations …
Given the array of tools available today, most business people can develop and deliver informative presentations. But how good are you at persuading your listeners to act on your message? Whether you’re selling services or products, trying to inspire groups to accept change, or pitching new business opportunities, knowing how to deliver an engaging presentation that gets you buy-in can be priceless. It can mean the difference between success or failure!
YOU WILL LEARN:
- Organize your talk to persuade and convince vs. simply inform
- Develop presentations that result in positive audience response
- Establish credibility and project confidence from beginning to end
- Deliver with impact -- never be boring again!
- And more, if time allows!
The doors open at 4PM for open networking so plan to come early!
Vanna Novak (see her Bio at the end of this space) will share her wisdom and ideas with us beginning at 5PM and ending at 6:00PM
At 6PM we'll have question and answer time and 1 round of facilitated networking.
I'm looking forward to seeing you at this event!

Zita,
Sounds like a great event.
I'm teaching my End the Paper Pain class that evening, so won't be able to attend this one, but I'll look forward to others to come.
See you soon,
Debbie

Zita, I've got an event for speakers right before yours that same day (about 10 blocks away) if anyone wants to make it into a Speakers Training Day! Seriously, this would be a worthwhile double-bill!
Best-selling author/keynote speaker Patrick Snow will be sharing "Professional Speaker Secrets: Turn Your Expertise into Clients and Cash" from 1pm to 3:45. Details: http://biznik.com/events/professional-speaker-secrets-turn-your-expertise-into-clients-and-cash
I will come over afterwards, I'll be late but should definitely get there before Vanna speaks.

Zita... Thank you for putting together a quality event for this group and introducing us to Vanna. She was fantastic and I'm sure she helped all the attendees with not only helpful ideas but with new inspiration. I sure learned a lot.
What also made the event so enjoyable and worth-while was your facilitation which I am grateful for your friendship. I'm an ardent fan and will promote your services every chance I get. I hope this is a taste of things to come from you new venture.
