- Powerful Presentations: In almost every situation, formal or informal, presentation skills are the key to getting your ideas recognized, accepted and implemented. Although you may be full of facts that point audiences to an obvious conclusion, you can completely derail your intended outcome with a weak presentation or unrefined communication skills. But excellent presentation skills aren’t about a prescribed set of generic tools – and that is where this class is different. Although you might not realize it, you already have a style that works for you – you just have to uncover it. We’ll give you real-world tools to use during presentations that help you build upon your unique strengths and specific style.
- Managing Difficult Conversations:  The inability to navigate a sensitive workplace conversation can easily unhinge a burgeoning career. You can’t prevent a tough situation from happening, and you can’t change how others act during it. But how do you handle it? Managing conflict according to a prescribed set of “rules” you’ve been given before may feel false. This course takes a look at what you’re already good at – we’ll teach you how to discover and leverage your personal style to handle conflict with candor and grace.
