WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Learn how to prepare for unexpected events in a presentation or meeting, whether it’s a technical malfunction, interruption or harsh criticism. You’ll learn tips to keep open, engaged and calm when receiving feedback on your work. You’ll build confidence that you can think on your feet and still get your message across in challenging public-speaking situations.
WHAT WE’LL DO
We’ll analyse common design presentation mishaps using real life examples. We’ll use improvisation exercises to loosen up and practice being in the present moment. We’ll then role play scenarios in which a presentation does not go to plan. You’ll have the opportunity to practice your preferred response.
