All organizations are facing challenging times but things will get back to normal (or a modified version of normal) and organizations need to be able to communicate and engage with their audiences effectively.

This FREE Online Micro Course conducted by Lyle Wetsch of the Digital & Social Media Program in partnership with the Gardiner Centre in Newfoundland, Sprott Professional Programs in Ontario, and Edwards Executive Education in Saskatchewan is designed to help all types of organizations be ready with a better digital and social media presence.

Public speaking is about so much more than presentations, conferences and pitches. Being a good public speaker will help you in every aspect of your life, will improve your ability to communicate and connect with people, and will mean you feel more confident at expressing yourself and your ideas.

They have been coaching public speaking to politicians, students, professionals and graduates since 2013. In the run up to the 2015 General Election, they have provided public speaking training to over 100 candidates, and 17 are now MPs.

They have supported people in preparation for keynote speeches, job interviews, wedding speeches, university interviews and conference presentations.

In this 30 minute session, they want to give you some basic tools to boost your confidence and give you more power to speak and to be listened to in both your personal and professional life.

This session will cover the basics of:

• Body language
• Voice,
• Tone,
• Pitch,
• Use of stories,
• Use of pauses,
• Tackling imposter syndrome
• Some practical exercises to try yourself at home

Today’s environment is filled with setbacks and unexpected challenges. VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) is the new normal, and the impact of serious crises such as market shocks, governmental instability and pandemics can’t be ignored. For leaders who hope to accelerate performance and capitalize on change and uncertainty, creating a resilient organization that can successfully “bounce back” and grow from adverse experiences is critical. Few of us can change the environment in which we operate – but we can control how we prepare and respond to the events around us. This session is designed to bring leaders together to learn about and reflect on new research from Dale Carnegie Training and others on workplace resilience.
