Description:

In the library profession, we are often required to make oral presentations.  Whether we are asked to talk in a team meeting or present in front of an audience at a conference, we all have to speak in public from time to time.

If you have never presented, or need a few refresher tips to make your presentation exceptional, join us for the MALA webcast “Unlocking Your Potential: Presentation Skills”.    Presenter Gloria Tibbs, with the University of Missouri-Kansas City, will guide you through the process from creating your presentation, evaluating your audience, to the final presentation.  If you speak well in public, it can help you get a job or promotion, raise awareness for your team or library, and educate others.

Outcomes:  Upon successful completion of this webcast you will be able to:

1. Organize a presentation appropriately for a variety of purposes.
2. Analyze and engage with your audience and the occasion and adapt to it.
3. Develop and demonstrate strategies for relaxing and rehearsing your presentation.
4. Develop and demonstrate effective delivery skills using eye contact, facial expressions, and appearance, visual aids and time constraints.
