The Human Connection
Presentation Skills to Engage & Win

Join SMPS Alaska Chapter and Graceworks for a half-day or full-day workshop of presentation/communication training and coaching! Tuesday, April 16th. Sign up today: Registration was increased to 80 due to high demand!

Graceworks provides presentation, communication, writing and leadership training to clients globally. Their sessions are designed to free you to be yourself and connect comfortably and confidently with others -- you’ll get an interactive, one-of-a-kind experience, not just training. 

Morning Workshop:
The Human Connection: Bring Your Presentations to Life!

Networking breakfast 8:30 - 9:00
Workshop 9:00 - 12:30
Break/Adjourn 12:30-1:00

In this hands-on workshop, we help you relax, be yourself and communicate your message with clarity and confidence. Through teaching, discussion, participation in theater exercises and individual coaching opportunities, you will learn to:  

• Connect with your audience
• Identify and drop nervous habits
• Prepare and practice your material
• Make technical material come to life
• Use graphics and props wisely 

Afternoon Workshop:
Master-Class Coaching*

Lunch 1:00 - 1:30
Workshop 12:30 - 5:00

If you want to maximize your experience, join us for this Master-Class Coaching Session. You’ll get a chance to put into practice what you learned in the morning.

We’ll conduct two sessions simultaneously -- each led by one of Graceworks’ trainers. In each session, about 12-15 of you can volunteer to give a short presentation. You’ll then receive honest, positive feedback from the audience and coaching from your Graceworks’ trainer. It’s fun and you’ll learn a lot!

As well as learning how to present, you’ll also learn how to coach. So if you’re responsible for prepping your teams, this session is for you! We’ll explore how to coach "from the inside-out" which always sets your presenters up for success.

Finally, we’ll address more presentation topics such as:

• How to set up a room
• Scientific tips for building confidence
• Elevator speeches (you’ll get to practice your own!)
• How to introduce your team

* Attendance at the morning workshop is required for the afternoon session.

The deadline to RSVP is Friday, April 12th, so hurry and save your seat!
